Views on my first Rolex - 1988 16030 Datejust
Hello
I am new to your forum, I see there is a huge amount of fascinating information on here! Attached are photos of my first Rolex, purchased just over a year ago from a dealer here in the UK. Since buying it I have developed a real enthusiasm for vintage and neo-vintage Rolex. My Datejust is a 1988 R serial plexiglass model. It came as a full set with one owner before myself. I think I have bought a lovely example but would welcome your expert views, be they positive or negative! Many thanks! Last edited by Mr.Datejust; 4 February 2025 at 08:55 PM.. Reason: Typo |

Big congrats! Looks to be in great condition with a very fat case. I’d be curious to see the full set.
These classic DJs are such a good value right now in the vintage Rolex world. |

Looks good.....a silver Datejust is quintessentially Rolex.
All about price on a DJ. For a laugh and to check something I had a look at 1988 16030 on C24.... there are 5 from $ 5-6.5 k which is insanely over the top for a 16030 imho.
