Just bought my first rolex, 961xxxx , circa 1986. Has a sapphire crystal in it, I think everything else is original. I'm happy with it and I think it looks great. I'm not a good photographer, taken from a Samsung Galaxy phone.

I think a sapphire crystal may in fact be correct for that watch

Thanks TimeToGO , hopefully my first of many.

From what I've read, all 16013's were acrylic

if the manufacture date is after 1989, then it can have a sapphire...or at least that is what I have heard

yours by the ser # is 1986-87

The Datejust is a great watch to start a collection and very nice looking too. Congratulations!
