I checked it out. Glass is sapphire and movement is 3135.

So it’s a 16234. But with the mystery linen dial.

Serial starts with R

Question on Rolex 16234 (1988)

I saw a listing of a 16234 circa 1988. But it’s has a linen dial and acrylic crystal. Did it come in this configuration? I suspect it’s refurbished with replacement parts. Or the model number is mis-stared.

I guess it's wrong ref number

16234 should have a sapphire crystal and I don't believe there is a linen dial for that model. If I remember correct so was 16234 released in 1989.

16014 does fit the bill.

But a “reputable” watch shop posting the wrong ref number makes me doubt it’s reputation.

I'm asking them.

I like the look of this configuration. The movement inside should confirm the model. 3035 for the 16014.

I checked it out. Glass is sapphire and movement is 3135.

What do you guys think? ...  

In your first post you are talking from acrylic crystall ............now it is saphire?

The dial, for me is not matching with a 1988 Datejust, but everything is posibel.

Yup. I confirm movement, crystal, serial number and model number = 16234

Only the dial don’t add up. It does look great though.
