Luxuracer 14 Posted February 19, 2019 Just received the gen Rolex DJ36 TT 1166233 black dial with diamond markers. I bought this watch for my wife as a Valentine's gift. It supposed to arrive February 12th, but there was a delay. So It did not arrived until today. Originally, I was looking to get a Rolex DJ36 116243 (two-tone, diamond dial markers, and diamond bezel). But with the MSRP of $19,700USD, it is way over-priced comparing to the 'exact' same 116233 watch without the diamond bezel at $12,850USD. That is close to $7K for just the fricking diamond bezel. So I decided to get the 116233 and buy an after-market 18K diamond bezel, which would save me at lease $5.5K Rolex DJ36 116243 vs Rolex DJ36 116233 Rolex 116233-0158 Datejust 36 Rolesor Yellow Fluted / Jubilee / Black Diamond Brand: Rolex Family: Datejust Reference: 116233-0158 Name: Datejust 36 Rolesor Yellow Fluted / Jubilee / Black Diamond Produced: 2018 Limited: No Case Materials: Stainless steel, Yellow gold Glass: Sapphire Back: Closed Shape: Round Diameter: 36.00 mm Height: 12.00 mm Lug Width: 20.00 mm W/R: 100.00 m Dial Color: Black Indexes: Diamond Hands: Stick Movement This model is equipped with calibre 3135, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Like all Rolex Perpetual movements, the 3135 is a certified Swiss chronometer, a designation reserved for high-precision watches that have successfully passed the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) tests. It is fitted with a Parachrom hairspring, offering greater resistance to shocks and to temperature variations. Its architecture, in common with all Oyster watch movements, makes it singularly reliable. Type: Automatic Brand: Rolex Caliber: 3135 Display: Analog Diameter: 28.50 mm Jewels: 31 Reserve: 48 h Frequency: 28800 bph Time: Hours, Minutes, Seconds Additionals: Chronometer Description The Rolex Datejust is one of Rolex' undisputed icons. In its current version, its case measures a traditional 36mm. It is available in a great number of configurations, ranging from low-key all-stainless steel versions to full gold and diamond-set models. Some quick photos from my phone (no glamour shot yet). The dial is BLACK ... but with the gold hand and gold diamond marker plus the lighting, it does look like gray. At some angle, it looks completely black. The blackhole of the cyclops. Comparing to my BP DJ41 gold wrapped two-tone With the correct lighting and angle, you can see the SEC just barely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is 100% supportive with my rep addiction hobby, but she would rather wear a $50 Timex then a $500 rep. I am good with that. I bought this for her because she started wearing larger watches. She took my gen Omega Constellation and DJ 16233 ... and she love them. She stopped wearing her DJ28. I got her this Michele Deco Madison right when I started buying reps.

Since I got into rep, I would not see me buying another gen luxury watch for myself. Two of my gen Rolex are in the safe deposit box. The others gens are being taken over by my wife. Reps let me try out other brand that normally I would not buy. At 5% of the cost, it is a lot more fun to own 50-60 reps than 2 luxury gens. 3 hours ago, odoherc said: Lovely watch, you'll be in the good books for a while after that This would keeps me on her good side ... at least until Christmas.
