Okay, I know it's easy, but I'm stupid.

Not stupid at all, Dave. The 16200 is a Stainless Steel DJ, while the 16233 is an SS & 18K Gold DJ.

I'll make it real simple....

All Rolex model nos. that end in ZERO are steel.

All Rolex model nos. that end in 3 are steel/gold.

All Rolex model nos. that end in 8 are YELLOW GOLD.

All Rolex model nos. that end in 9 are WHITE GOLD.

All Rolex model nos. that end in 6 are PLATINUM.

All Rolex model nos. that end in 5 are PINK GOLD.

The ones that end in 4 have only a WHITE GOLD bezel. Rest is all steel, including bracelet. Classic example is the DJ 116234.
