Hi there, been collecting watches for a while now have a few Tags and and an Omega, but have today gone up in the world with 2 x 1601 models.
One is 18k white gold / ss with oyster bracelet, the other 18k yellow gold / ss with jubilee bracelet. Any comments at all? They look genuine to me. The one question i do have is on the jubilee bracelet is the yellow part gold? I know the bezel is.

the two tone serial dates to 67/68
the stainless dates to 72/73

yes that's the thing with old watches not easy to get paperwork... does anyone know if the jubilee bracelet is yello metal or gold?

The Rolex crown looks strange on the one on the left...?

how so?

i paid £1000 for the steel and £1200 for the two tone

bayerische · 9 April 2010, 12:59 AM

The hour markers on the left one is also a model I haven't seen before...?

I'm no expert.

bayerische · 9 April 2010, 01:00 AM

I'm not sure if the picture is blurry, but the Rolex crown at 12 is completely different on the left and right watch.

kieranswood · 9 April 2010, 01:02 AM

i have checked in the usual place and it shows 1601- could it have a custom dial?

Evan614 · 9 April 2010, 01:02 AM

FYI: I know nothing about Datejusts. so don't spam me.

Looks like two different "J"s (the font is different for the word Datejust.)

kieranswood · 9 April 2010, 01:03 AM

that better?

ah yes i see the two tone has a line at the top of the J and noticed the oyster perpetual shows oyster-perpetual and the ss doesn't

Evan614 · 9 April 2010, 01:11 AM

Plus the "A" is different. a little too wide

I think you have 2 great watches, I looked at the gentlemans feedback and I would not worry at all.

jcherskine · 9 April 2010, 03:51 AM

The DJ TT watch has a solid gold bezel and also solid gold centre links. Either 14k or 18k depending on the jubilee bracelet model. It should be marked with the model number e.g. 62523H.18 The 18 denotes 18k gold.
Lovely watches.
I have the DJ TT model.

datejust1 · 9 April 2010, 03:55 AM

Great Watches!

PS: Remember guys, the watches have different periods of manufacture. So the fonts and dials differ a lot. No worries, Kieran, I think they're real.

PSS: The Dials are Pie-Pan Dials on both... :)

thanks yes it shows 18, to me the gold looks a bit rose coloured but then it is a few years old... :)

strangest thing is the older of the two has the hack mechanism...
