Need Help Identifying this Rolex.

[smithers10]

Hello Community,

I am brand new to owning a Rolex and I just inherited one. I called a local Rolex dealer and he gave me some information but I have questions still. He had told me that he thinks that its a "Two tone, DateJust, model #16013". The photos its hard to see but it has 455 and J on the backside of the watch. I want to hear opinions on what this watch is. Also is it considered vintage if its between 70's and 80's as that's the production years for the model #16013. So I am curious as to what this watch is? estimated Value? also if its considered vintage at that age?

Here are pics of the watch:

Yes, vintage. Your dealer appears to be correct, and it's likely from the late 70s or early 80s as far as I can tell at first glance. If you remove the bracelet, there will be a serial number and a reference number between the lugs at bottom and top to confirm that information. The 455 is just the number of the endlinks.

Unfortunately the photos are not good enough to provide solid feedback. Please try to focus on the watch itself instead of the background. And use the crop tool, we don't need so much hand and tablecloth in the photos.

Value probably in the $3k USD range in the current market. Black dials are desirable, but two-tone less so.
