"new" 16233 DJ

I flipped my 1601, it had an champagne refinished dial with custom aftermarket diamonds. I thought it wouldn't bother me that they were aftermarket until I noticed the difference in quality when comparing the watch in real life with a DJ with factory diamond dial, since then it bothered me more and more every day.

I bought back a 16233 with blue dial, no diamonds because I don't like diamonds that contrast too much with the dial(color).

I love how the dial changes from dark navy almost blackish to brighter blue depending on the environments lighting, though in the pictures the dial is a brighter blue than in real life, at least on my screen.

The original bracelet is being rebuild/repaired at the moment so pics are with aftermarket bracelet.

Very happy with it




Perfect fit on my 6.5 wrist imo
