Dear Sir / Madam,

I have 4 questions. Would you kindly educate me.

1) I have brought a new DATEJUST model (model number 116234) a few days ago in France. When I pull the crown to the 1st click position, turning the crown very very SLOWLY to change the date, I have noticed that as the date wheel is going to flip to the next position, a very weak click sound comes first and then followed by a stronger click sound ? Is it normal ? When I do the same testings on i) my wife's new Rolex, which was also brought a few days ago, and ii) my older Rolex DATE model (34mm), they only emit one click sound !

2.) I have also brought a Rolex Milguass in France. As I go through the instruction manual, I find that the movement uses the newly invented parachrom as the hair spring. I just want to know whether all Rolex models also use parachrom hair spring since 2008 ?

3.) How many jewels are installed in the DATEJUST model and Milguass model ?

4.) What is the difference between a DATEJUST model and a DATE model ? Someone tells me that the only difference is its size. A larger size (36mm) is the DATEJUST model and the smaller one (34mm) is the DATE model. If this is really the case, why does the lady model, which is of the smallest size, also bears the same name DATEJUST model as the biggest one ?

Thanks for your kind attention and look for your prompt reply.
Best Regards.

Hi,

Just a tip...you may want to edit your thread and not disclose the serial no. for your watches on a public domain (possible theft of serial numbers for counterfeit watches).

I may not be able to answer your queries but some of the well-informed members will have some input.

Hi and welcome to TRF!

I really can`t help you about sounds, but jewel count in both of your watches is the same - 31 jewels.

And difference between Datejust and Date models is really just in size: Datejust is 36mm with 20mm between the lugs, while Date is 34mm and tricky 19mm between the lugs, which makes it bit harder to fit with aftermarket straps.
There are three more Datejust models - midsize model (31mm), Lady Datejust (26mm) and Datejust II (41mm), so midsize and ladies models are actually smaller that men`s Date models!
Funny thing, but that`s how it is!
Enjoy your great watches!

Excuse me, can you kindly teach me how to edit the message so that the serial no.s can be deleted ?
