Help identify this DJ.

[cwilson13]

This had been my dads daily wearer for probably the last 30 years. He bought it used as best he can remember.

I know very little about DJs and was trying to ID it without taking the bracelet off. The pins are smaller than the tools I have for other watch bands.

Did some searching and what I read confused me as to which reference this is.

Is it a 1601, 16013 or 16030? Other?

This is the information he gave me (which I believe was written down some years ago by local watchmaker who serviced it).

However, from what I read online trying to match the reference, I got a little confused as to whats what.

According to my dads note (all or some of which could be wrong):
Maufactured 82' or 83'
Movement 3035
Serial 747XXXX
14K

It has a plexi crystal but does not seem to not have the quick set date. No quick-set and it being 14k doesnt seem to align with it having a 3035 movement from what I read... But again, my knowledge is fleeting on DJs.

Taking off the bracelet will answer my question...but thought I would ask to save myself a trip to the watchmaker.

Once I figure out what it is, I will probably send it out to ABC and have them do a service and maybe send the band out to the guy in Hong Kong (name?) to repair the stretch. The watch has seen some miles but I think can be made to look fresh again.

Thanks in advance for many insight or help identifying.

The flat dial is consistent with the 3035 movement. An earlier 1570 movement would require the pie-pan dial. The quick-set function may be disabled, it should be quick-set with that movement.

Thanks Motoikkyu. I do believe now it has the 3035 as my dad confirmed it will quickset. I can't seem to find the right stem position but don't want to push and pull too much.

I asked him if was always rough when winding...and his comment was 'I never wound it with the stem'. Always wound automatically through wearing or on a winder at night. I said, you mean you haven't actually hand wound it in 30 years?! Nope!

So, as I said, pulling and pushing on the stem isn't something I plan on doing much before sending to service!

It will clean up like new again. The gentleman in HK for the bracelet is Michael Young.
