Looking to buy this 16013

rolex.jpgHey guys.

I found a deal on this watch and would like to buy it if its real.

Its a late 80's Datejust.

I cant find anything that says its fake, with the exception of the 16000 engraving on the inside of the case. Should it say 16013? I cant find anything to reference.

The asking price is $2250 but I may get it for less as I have not made an offer. Is it a genuine 16013?

I cant seem to find another for less the $3000 so is this too good to be true?

Thanks everyone.

The 16013 will be engraved between the case luges on the 12 o'clock sign, and appears to be in your 3rd photo. Case back should say 16000 and R serial is correct for a 16013. It was the last reference letter for plastic quickset models (some sapphire quickset models also come with R serial). Watch looks correct. Make sure the internal clasp is stamped 62523 H 18 and the letter of reference above it should be L.

It looks good but take into account a service expense if it has not had one in recent years..

Why would you do that? To get a lower cvalue non vintage watch? Plexi is what people look for and goes up in value besides the fact that it looks 10 times nicer.

On watches like the DJ having a acrylic or sapphire will not make much difference as watches like the DJ are not collectible type watches.

So if they go up in value, why are you getting such a good "deal"?
