Rolex Datejust 36mm 1995 Watch

Q: What size is this Rolex Datejust, and how does it wear on the wrist?
A: This watch has a 36 mm case, which is the classic Datejust size. It offers a balanced, versatile look that suits many wrist sizes and works well for both everyday and smarter wear.

Q: What wrist size will this watch fit?
A: According to the product information, the bracelet fits a wrist of up to 19.5 cm in circumference. If your wrist is smaller, it should wear comfortably; if you need an exact fit, we recommend checking the measurements carefully before purchase.

Q: What is Rolex reference 16233?
A: Reference 16233 is a vintage Rolex Datejust 36 model from the five-digit era, best known for its classic two-tone construction and timeless dress-sport styling. It is one of the most recognisable Datejust references for buyers seeking a traditional vintage Rolex look.

Q: Does this model have an automatic movement and quick-set date?
A: Yes, the Datejust 16233 is generally associated with Rolex’s automatic calibre 3135, a movement widely appreciated for its reliability, self-winding function, and quick-set date adjustment.

Q: Is the crystal sapphire or acrylic?
A: The Datejust 16233 is generally known for using a sapphire crystal, which is more scratch-resistant than the acrylic crystals found on some earlier Datejust references. This is one reason the reference remains especially popular as a practical vintage choice.

Q: Can this watch be worn every day?
A: Yes, many collectors and owners choose the Datejust 16233 as an everyday watch because of its classic proportions, date function, and robust Rolex construction. As this is a pre-owned 1995 piece, everyday use is possible, but sensible care is recommended to preserve its condition.

Q: Is this watch water-resistant?
A: The Datejust line is historically known for strong everyday water resistance, but with any vintage pre-owned watch, water resistance should never be assumed without a current pressure test. We recommend avoiding water exposure unless the watch has been recently tested and approved for that use.

Q: What condition is this watch in?
A: The product information states that the watch is in very good condition, with light traces of use. It also notes scratches on the case and bracelet, while the internal condition is described as very good.

Q: What is included with this watch?
A: This watch comes with Rolex service card 2014 and a service pouch. Everything included is listed in the product information; if an original box or papers are not mentioned there, they are not included.

Q: How should I care for a vintage Rolex Datejust?
A: Clean it gently with a soft dry cloth, avoid knocks and chemicals, and store it in a safe, dry place when not in use. For servicing or bracelet adjustments, it is best to use qualified watch specialists or an official Rolex service centre, especially for a vintage piece like this one.
