The case for 16234

I have had many Rolex models over the years. Some were too blingy or shiny, others too heavy/bulky to wear every day, yet others proved too boring. Sold them all, except one - my old trusty 16234.

I submit to you that this is the ultimate Rolex, a tried and true companion, a watch for any occasion, understated yet classy. The best Rolex reference ever made.

Over the years I’ve had more 162xx models than anything else. For me, the size and style are perfect. The reason I’ve had so many different ones is also related to the fact that there are so many options (oyster/jubilee, smooth/fluted, stick/roman, etc.).

Looking to get my first Rolex and think I've settled on a DJ (16234)
