Help with possible purchase of Datejust 16030
Hi all,
I've been offered a Datejust 16030 circa 1984, and although everything appears to be genuine (movement, serial numbers, etc) i'm not sure about the dial. Noticed that the letter L of the script Rolex doesn't fall directly below the centre of the crown. Is this correct or does it depend on year of manufacture? I've googled the net but can't quite find a definative answer. your opinions will be much appreciated and great forum by the way!! |

Some of the hour batons do not line up with the hour dots, 6, 7, and 8. Is it the photo or a refinished dial?

I'm not a DJ expert - but "Rolex" not centered would make me wonder.

After looking at some more DJs - I retract my "centered" statement.
