I purchased my Datejust in February 1973 and it is still going strong. It was my only watch during my 35 year airline career. Has travelled many miles. Great video !👍🏻 Thanks

@Oldbong 3 года назад

Just to hear, for fun, how many times have you had your watch at service?

@jimdoyle8914 3 года назад

Every 10 yrs or so....acrylic crystal replaced, generally, cleaned and lubricated. Jubilee bracelet has quite a bit of stretch although I’m not sure if I wish to pay the great amount for a new one. I’ve heard of the repair process available. Now considering this.

I have a 1991 16220, white dial with Roman numerals. My first luxury watch and great for every occasion. Last weekend I wore it in the pool, gardening and then out to dinner. Great videos, keep them coming.

I love the old-school 36mm size but I'm 6'-2" and weight 230 lbs, I think it might look just a little too small on my wrist. But, that is the whole idea of the old-school 36mm Rolex look. So I've been debating back and forth whether to pick one of these up.

@kikecitoto 3 года назад

It would be nice to know more about the suppliers of the watch parts and their modifications in the watches.

@youngsamuel3529 4 года назад

@johnbradshaw8115 4 года назад

Have a 1980 16013, black onyx dial, no numerals, yellow gold bezel, steel/gold jubilee bracelet- a very elegant watch. Love it! Nice job with the video.

@Chrono24Official 4 года назад

Thanks John! 👌🏻 A black dial Datejust is indeed a very elegant choice. I had a 16013 bicolor DJ with champagne dial and diamonds 😅 Maybe a bit too much bling, but I loved to wear it especially in summer.

@mercuchio2327 2 года назад

The 1991 version the 16234 was the first to have the modern time keeping system inside and the upgraded steel, yet it retains the vintage style, with the fluted bezzel and the holes on the side it is the best vintage to buy 👌

@pbtony0340 2 года назад

@filippo796 3 года назад

GREAT VIDEO

@johnnyguitar6697 4 года назад

Very good video. It would have been more complete if you had mentioned that the 16220 actually had a specific new feature in the sapphire crystal vs. the acrylic of the 1603 or 16013. A part of the extra weight comes from that. Also, the 16220 is not uncommon with an oyster bracelet, so if one wants a sportier look for a Datejust, this is the one to go for. As a daily wearer, I wouldn't have any issue with a properly maintained 16220 / 16200, even for sporting activities (swimming, running). Those activities are best avoided with the acrylic crystal references, which at this stage will be more prone to water resistance issues given their age.

@Chrono24Official 4 года назад

You're right. Albeit it's not in the video, that's why RU-vid has a comments section here. For informative feedback like yours. Thanks for that!

@jonharry6293 2 года назад

My 1977 Datejust is worn in the sea, pool and has never leaked

@johnnyguitar6697 2 года назад

@@jonharry6293 A Datejust is, at its core a sports watch in a business attire, so I am not too surprised that some are still in fully working condition. But given its age, that's taking a chance. If a vintage 1601/1603 has a new crystal, new gaskets and the case is not pitted, it should be waterproof. But that's a lot of "if"s. Often, either the case is pitted around the seal in the caseback, or the base of the acrylic crystal becomes brittle, compromising the water resistance.

Hello I have a 1603 with a jubilee band. If I want to put an oyster band on it. What size would I need to purchase?

Hi there, it should be 20mm

@johnsonj2200 4 года назад

Hi, for the color choice, blue dial or silver dial?any suggestions? Thanks!

@Chrono24Official 4 года назад

Silver is more versatile, for sure! But I think a blue dial makes the DJ look more "casual" in a way. For the first DJ in my collection I would go for the classy silver version, though. Best, Pascal :)

@johnsonj2200 4 года назад

Chrono24 That really helps, thanks!

@Watchdoc65 3 года назад

Nice Vid, thanks! I have an 80s DateJust 16014. Best all around Rolex anywhere in my opinion. Although it may not be a “sport” watch you can take it anywhere a sport watch can go pretty much since it has the oyster case! I love the 3035 movement, acrylic crystal, and a sparkle of white gold! Goes casual or dress, sea to summit! Excellent daily wearer!

Very nice discussion. I have the latest 126234 with silver dial. Just perfect for my 7” wrist. Although completely modern it absolutely still retain it’s original charms. If there is a perfect watch proportion the DJ36 is the closest to it.

@johnnyguitar6697 4 года назад

Same here: 7" wrist + 126200 blue dial on jubilee. Perfect daily wearer, great proportions, and feels surprisingly substantial on the wrist.

@AriefLatif 4 года назад

Johnny Guitare agree completely about it being surprisingly substantial. I would not have believed it until I tried it. Enjoy the piece and wear in good health sir.

@johnnyguitar6697 4 года назад

@@AriefLatif You too, Arief. I quite like the silver dial too, and it might also be a bit more legible than the blue.

@Chrono24Official 4 года назад

I can't agree more. The DJ is a super versatile watch and the new ones clearly have the Datejust DNA. Still the original will always be the 36mm

@philj212 4 года назад

that's the configuration I went with aswell:) getting mine in a few weeks. what do you think about the polished lugs? I like them brushed. other than that its pretty much perfect.

@davidfoo6974 3 года назад

There is no "Danger Zone" with the Rolex Datejust" as it has instant date change at midnight. However, it is best practice to always move the hour hand to 6 o'clock before changing the date on a mechanical/automatic watch, as some watches can suffer gear damage if the date is adjusted when the hour hand is in the 21:00 - 03:00 part of the dial. People with a large watch collection will understand.

@alketterer 3 года назад

Good video guys. I'm considering buying one from year of birth. Very much like the one you show from the 70ties. But I'm 1.92 mt and wonder how it will actually look in my wrist. I really appreciate that Pascal wear the watch and that Balázs drop the comment on how the lighter colour help. It is a good confirmation that it can work. If any of you can send me to info on the web about how to exactly determine the year of production will be great. Found different sources, with different numbers for the years of production

@Chrono24Official 3 года назад

Hey Alfredo, thanks for watching this video! I am 1.96mt and the 36mm DJ looks good on me. That's also what other people tell me... 😅 So either they lie or it is true that the 36mm is a great size also for tall gents.

@Chrono24Official 3 года назад

I guess the 1603 was from 73 :) 16013 from 1983 I guess.

@rydetime 4 года назад

While I find the video informative, I would really have liked it a lot more if it featured the current model, with the new movement and the revised clasp on the jubilee bracelet, as well as the model just preceding it.

The very interesting feature you did not coment is that machined bezel is steel and harder to scratch. 16030 is my favorite. However, the Jubelee and the clasp could be better.
