MISTER B - The Rolex Datejust 116233 Review 

Jake Jones, congrats on that, it’s a beautiful watch, wear it in good health and have lots of fun with it 👍🏻🙏🏻

Mister B Thanks, Mr. B!

Congratulations

What if you lose it

@@RevohYT shutup broke boy

Wow, thanks a lot, appreciate it🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It’s the truth, I’ll be doing one too once I’m done with the move to our house and stuff, but that’ll be somewhere around the fall or something :)

You might have hat the 5-digit Datejust in mind which did Sport a cross Cut finish in the lugs where the newer 6 digit iteration than came along work a slight wider case and polished lugs.

Joseph Torres, true, i prefer the proportions of the 36mm version. The plus of the DJ41 jubile is though the easy link and micro adjustments which the hidden clasp bracelet doesn’t have.

I agree I like the look of the 36 but I’m too large of a person for the 36. I just ordered the 41 like this. If only they made a 39mm it would be PERFECT

Corron Prince, thanks a lot, i try to get the best shots, saving for a macro lens though to get closer. Thanks so much for your comment 🙏🏻👍🏻

That's high praise, thanks brother, no pressure for the next one though 😱😱😂😂

Hi buddy, unfortunately the current 36mm version sports the same clasp as it’s bigger brother some thing I cannot understand as especially the integrated bracelet version was an awesome look

Hi Venus Dee, thanks a lot mate, the 116234 is beautiful and goes with the most accessories, it’s a beautiful watch, I do like a lot that one with the sunburst blue dial. I do wear a yellow gold ring and do Gabe white and yellow gold accessories so the TT suits me very well. And, well, I am an 80s child so can’t deny that 😂 Greetings, Konstantin

Thanks for watching and congrats on that beauty, well purchased, wear it in good health🙏🏻

@@mb-watches right back at you!

Since a while, I think since 2019, the DJ 41 had directly the new one

Thanks for your comment, be aware that Rolex has introduced last year at Basel a new 36mm DJ. Still, the 116233 is to me the best DJ Thanks to the slight bigger lugs and the integrated clasp it wears bigger than 36 and is an elegant piece. Go for it 🙏🏻

Mister B I don’t see the datejust with hidden clasp anywhere... where can I get it?

It’s definitely a gorgeous watch but I flipped it in the end. Sort of miss ist bit something there just didn’t work for me to be honest. Double tragic as Rolex discontinued also the integrated bracelet they used on that one with the presentation of its successor

I think a silver dial would also work very well to tone it down a bit and balance out the yellow gold.

@@mb-watches i also dream of a daydate but afraid it will be a bit too much. I am 40 now so even if I buy it then i see myself selling it when i am in my late 60s so value retention is important. So i am looking into two tone options. I wear watches in the 38-39mm zone and my explorer mk ii is my favourite watch. I have tried a 36mm dj a couple if times but it always looked small on my wrist, even though my wrist is only 17cm but is kind of flat so I can wear watches upto 44 comfortably. My AT at 41-42 wears decently well on me without overhang. So I need to try a two tone in the metal before spending more time lusting after this watch. Anyway this will be an occasional wear watch so may not make the cut in the end. But i loved your video and you have a great eye and ability to see through the clutter of obvious watches.

Thanks Buddy, really appreciate it. Well maybe the DJ just isn’t for you. The DD ist a gorgeous watch, but if the 36mm DJ already feels small on your wrist this counts as well for the DD. Especially if you compare my version which has a lil bit blow up case the regular 36mm DD feels smaller on the wrist. Maybe you make another attempt and consider the Yachtmaster in two tone? It’s a stunner, more elegant in terms of the case shape as the regular sport models and has a nice wrist presence. Let me know what it will be in the end, hope i could help a bit there and keep in mind that there are different other watches out there beside Rolex. The new Tudor Royla Two tone comes up in my mind there too by the way...

@@mb-watches thanks pal! I’ll take a look at that Tudor!! Cheers

Thanks for watching mate, appreciate it 👍🏻

Thanks mate, that is the why I sell. I doesn't . Still I am in love with as design history and quality are awesome. But, if it's worn just seldom, it needs to go...happy you liked the review 😊

Wishing you luck in finding a passionate buyer who will love and appreciate your Datejust !

@@mb-watches did you sell it because it was too small?

Mike Workman, yes and no. Due to the more bulky case it isn’t too small but it appears more like jewellery in this version. I think I wouldn’t have sold a 116200. It’s hard to answer but maybe you get what I mean.

24Hours At A Time, it is a great Watch and really underestimated here in Europe as everyone likes to get the sport models. Go for it bro 👍🏻🙏🏻

It’s a 2014 one so the 6 digit Version so it sports the super jubile and has wider life, the 5 digit references are older, these jubilee tend to have more stretch later on and the lugs are smaller with a cross polish were my version has the mirror polish

126233 (2019 and beyond) have oyester clasp on jubilee.

Moin Digga, I am happy you liked that vid. The speedy reduced is a cool watch but I do prefer the speedy Professional. On the one hand I like the manual movement, on the other i think the Modul chronograph which they mount on the ETA is not an optimal solution. Harder to maintain and as well the pusher do not align with the crown. I made a review of my speedy before but don't have the reduced, but maybe I can make a battle of reduced vs. The professional. If i can help you out in the meanwhile send me PM in the Uhrforum or to my channel maIl. Cheers Neal🙏🏻😁

A comparison of both watches would be interesting! In the future I will buy one of them and I like the reduced a bit more cause of the size it´s a bit smaller ... Have you planned in the future "Genuss"- videos like wine tastings or sth like that; or classic men´s wear review?

That I actually did plan. Have in the one hand a nice Oppermann briefcase here, and need to get some of my suit jackets refitted. As well have a knife review in plan but shortly I am going to make my first viewers watch collection review. The liquor run from Christian is what I do like a lot but it's no fun alone ...

thorpedrof1, thanks a lot👍🏻👍🏻 Well, the big pro of the DJ is that you have a better contrast between the steel and the gold. I love the dd but I think the TT is the way to go, the DD can be sometimes a bit too much. If you go DD I think you should go silver or white dial to at least have a bit of a contrast between the case and the dial.

Thank you for your answer. I will order the DJ now, as online orders can be returned without any reason, so i can have a good look. I remember when i first saw the dial on the DJ, in a shop window i actually couldn't believe how beautiful it looks. It makes the watch look so much more expensive, and the changing contrast makes sure, it's never boring. My grail would be a 18038 80's DD from miami, as i'm a big miami vice fan haha, but just cannot find the right one /dial-hands-good bracelet/, and the search has been on for years. Funny enough, Derrick used to wear a YG rolex too, while Harry Klein in the series was sporting a gmt master pepsi, like Tom Selleck in magnum :) My other grail was a 96 Omega Speedmaster Mk40, which i bought from a jeweller a few clicks from imola. It was a watch Michael used to wear during the first season with ferrari. It gets the most wrist time so far:)

thorpedrof1 the 18038 is the Derrick watch 😂😂 true🙏🏻👍🏻 and Harry as the German Magnum? Well ... 😁😁 Good choice and let me know when you got the DJ, the watch just is stunning especially in this combination and very elegant too, maybe you’ll find one day the perfect DD but still than the two would work great as a pair 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@mb-watches I still keep coming back to this video time after time. This is propably the best on youtube showcasing the watch. I did get this DJ and didn't keep it as it felt like it wasn't delivering, but now having had almost all rolex models i have to say this is one of the best pieces when the combination of "old" and modern is considered. I really enjoyed your PRX video, just considering the ice blue one. How do you find yours, do you still enjoy wearing it?

Hi Son Nguyen, yes they do, actually Rolex does offer in 2017 the Datejust 41 which is the successor of the Datejust II and still the 36mm version.

Thank Mister B, Do you know the production year of your watch ? Can I buy the one older than 2017 in store.

I did purchase mine in 2014, but am not sure about the production year. Even though the 36mm references are 116233 for this particular model, if you like the former version that was the 16233. You can buy the regular 116233 in store the older ones as well, check out there for example Christians shop from asktnh, he has some beautiful vintage DJ’s in his online store.

Thanks Mister B !

Michael Scofield, Danke Dir, wenn dich der Akzent stört, das ganze gibt es auch in deutsch ohne diesen ... 😉

Nach dem Kommentar habe ich gesucht! :D

2014, this Model was discontinued and is now available as 126233. the one you see there is the 116232

@@mb-watches What is the difference between the 126233 and the 116232?

It’s a great watch, thanks for your comment buddy and wear your DJ in good health, it’s a beautiful watch 🙏🏻👍🏻

Lou Kane thanks a lot, perfect watch in a great size

wizkid3726 go for it 👍🏻🙏🏻

rolli mundi not everyone is trying to prove to be rich, they are well made watches with great quality, and you can sell them back and still make money.
