- Is the 36mm Datejust too small for a man?
- No. 36mm was the standard men's Datejust size for decades and wears larger than the number suggests because of the fluted bezel and lugs. It suits wrists up to about 7.5 inches well.
- How does the 16234 differ from the current Datejust 36?
- The 16234 uses an older automatic movement, a steel case with a white gold bezel, and hollow-link bracelets. The current Datejust 36 has a newer movement, solid links and a more robust clasp.
- Is the diamond dial original?
- Rolex offered factory diamond dials on the Datejust, but aftermarket diamond dials are also common. Ask for documentation and have the dial checked by a watchmaker before buying.
- Does it have a quickset date?
- Yes. The 16234's movement has a quickset date, so you can set the date without cycling through 24 hours.
- What should I check on an older example?
- Check bracelet stretch, crown and tube condition, and whether the watch has a recent service record. Water resistance should be tested before swimming.
