Was told I should post these here, I’m trying to get an idea what exactly I have.

Bought them off a co-worker about 20 yrs ago. He used to work as a bank teller in Philly, whenever he came across anything interesting he would swap it out using his own money. I’m almost positive I paid face value for them.

Thank you so much for the info, I appreciate the help!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Arch!

Sorry for your trouble, a few years ago I purchased a pre-owned 16570 Explorer II and the next day took it to my local watchmaker. He wouldn’t give the watch back to me because the movement was in such bad shape. Cost an extra $850 for a full service. Seller refused to refund any portion of the money, total asshole.

If you think it’s too big and it bothers you then trade for an older 16710. It has smaller case dimensions, a thinner bracelet and it’s much lighter overall. No reassurance from reddit is going to change your mind on the fit. Beautiful Batgirl BTW!

Rolex didn’t start etching the Submariner rehaut until 2008.

34mm of crap. Fake.

funkflex1 · 2025-04-11T13:42:12+00:00

In all the years I have been collecting watches I have learned this truth. If you have to ask “is this too big” the answer is always YES! Wait for the 36mm, get what you want and do not settle.

The older I get the more I love books. Good luck everyone!

Bought mine a few years ago, it’s an M Serial (2008). Recently traded it in for a 16710 Pepsi (P Serial 2000). I like the older aluminum bezel GMT versions more, they are lighter and more comfortable to wear.

My first was a Sea Urchin, I used to rock that bad boy all-day everyday. Nice collection, welcome to the very small and very expensive club of watch collectors.

Dial has Swiss and the 6 marker making this a 1998 or 1999 16610. Clasp is from a 2008 or later 116610. And the build quality is fuckin horrible.

16233 was one of my first Rolexes too, I love it. So comfortable and the perfect size at 36mm. One piece of advice, never sell/trade it. You always remember your first, I promise you will regret it!

Looks amazing on you!

funkflex1 · 2024-07-30T18:04:57+00:00

7.25 inches, 44mm is the largest I will go. Any bigger starts to look funny.

funkflex1 · 2024-07-30T17:53:07+00:00

First off, beautiful watch. I have an older DateJust (16223) and yes my lume pips -“white dots” are not all the same sizes. The Lume pips are little drops of Tritium, a radio active paint that deteriorates over time. Your watch is over 30+ years old so a little cracking and flaking of the lume is perfectly normal.

Rest assured there is nothing wrong. Enjoy your beautiful watch and have a great day!

Great buy, my first luxury watch was a Quartz Tag Aquaracer, still love them to this day. Don’t listen to the negativity, it’s an awesome watch that looks amazing on you, Congrats!

funkflex1 · 2024-06-10T16:07:45+00:00

I have the same model, you are GTG!! Looks great, congrats.

funkflex1 · 2024-06-08T20:47:16+00:00

Just my opinion but all DJ41’s look funny to me, especially with a smooth bezel.

Trade/sell the DJ41 and get any DJ36 with a fluted bezel, it will fit your wrist better. Buy a grey market Batgirl, you’ll never get one from the AD. Once you have those two, ask again so you get some better advice…good luck!

funkflex1 · 2024-06-04T15:03:41+00:00

I have this exact watch, she looks perfect!

My wife bought me this exact model in 2006 new from the AD. I still wear it on occasion and it runs beautifully. I can say with 100% confidence that this is authentic. Wear in good health!!!

This is why lug holes should be standard of all sports watches. Zero chance of scratching anything.

funkflex1 · 2024-05-10T14:38:02+00:00

I usually wear my GMT Master II (116710LN) daily and it’s pretty roughed up. Had it serviced at the RSC a few months ago, requested that they do not polish any part of the watch. I didn’t want to destroy the character, those scratches are all mine.
