Hmmm, I'm sure others will be along soon to help, but I can tell you from the photo that this watch has an 'engine-turned' stainless bezel, and NOT a fluted (white gold in this case) bezel as the ad indicates.

Thanks for the insight... it is so close I have to consider it. Any other thoughts?

Thanks all!

Agreed.

Also "1600" series watch" is a bit vague. It's a DJ 16220.

The movement has 27 jewels, it says, so the Cal. is 3035.

The endpieces look odd, though. Endpieces type 501B should not have those cut-out sections. They're not necessary with a lug holes case.

Somehow I think I would pass on that one, too.

Thanks all! I think I am gonna pass!

Have a great day!

It looks OK enough, I suppose, but the engine turned bezel was usually only on the Date model (I think) and not the Datejust.

I'm not entirely sure that it is a Datejust. The case does look a bit like the Date model (narrower with more finely tapered lugs), but I may be wrong - I wonder, whether the dial has been replaced?

As Bo has said, 16000 sounds a bit vague for the model number anyway.

Could be genuine, but I think I'd go for another, even though the price is tempting.

Yea, I passed on it. Thanks for the insight!
