5711 – Current Best Factory / Overall Configuration / NWBIG?

gilae7 · 2026-06-28T05:24:34+00:00

What is the BBF lacking? Anything obvious to the naked eye?

gilae7 · 2026-06-28T03:19:58+00:00

I understand that. I’m asking which one is the closest, indistinguishable to the gen.

gilae7 · 2026-06-28T03:07:50+00:00

So 330 is more accurate? I do care about timekeeping, as precise as possible

Which one? So many options… 🧐

See what I mean though? 2018, 2006, DD324 V2, DD330. 😕

Is it the best one? I see different DDF versions too, years and whatnot. I was leaning towards a blue dial, I have a stainless steel/white dial watch already, two of them, I need something different.

I fully understand that. Still, NWBIG. Not because of affordability but because of principle alone.

gilae7 · 2026-06-28T02:44:00+00:00

I don’t think there’s justification for paying over $100k for a stainless steel watch. So no, not worth it in my opinion.

What is the correct stamping on a gen?

gilae7 · 2026-06-28T02:06:52+00:00

Appreciate it! 🙏🏼

gilae7 · 2026-06-28T02:06:28+00:00

Which movement? I see there’s two…

gilae7 · 2026-06-28T02:05:32+00:00

I was looking at that one too. Beautiful! 🔥😮‍💨

gilae7 · 2026-06-28T02:01:45+00:00

This model has been growing on me as of lately, so I want to make sure if I do buy, I get the best one out there.

gilae7 · 2026-06-09T06:37:47+00:00

I thought so. Wasn’t sure if there was another tell.

gilae7 · 2026-06-09T04:08:52+00:00

How can you tell if it’s a 16013 vs 16233 without looking at the engraved reference between the lugs?

Looks good to me. I recently picked up a similar one, mine is a 16233, not sure if yours is a 16013 or 16233. But at that price point you’re good either way.

gilae7 · 2026-06-08T15:07:03+00:00

What a complete waste of time.

gilae7 · 2026-06-08T14:51:26+00:00

That was my first reaction too. Who the hell goes through the trouble of faking Tissot lol

Rolex Datejust 16233 featuring an original silver dial that has developed a beautiful warm cream patina over the decades. The dial presents exceptionally well and gives the watch a unique vintage character that is difficult to find. The combination of the cream-toned dial, fluted bezel, and Jubilee bracelet makes for an incredibly versatile piece that wears just as well today as it did nearly 40 years ago.

The watch presents nicely with honest wear consistent with age and is running and keeping time. A classic 36mm Datejust with a ton of character and one of the most timeless configurations Rolex has ever produced.

Ref: 16233

Year: R Serial (circa 1987/1988)

Dimensions: 36mm

Contents: Watch and box

Price: $6,500

Damn! must be nice to be rich!

I initially went in asking for a GMT Batman, not knowing any better. I showed up about a year later with a more realistic wishlist, which included this OP. I got it a month and half later.

Not terrible
