Combination of different dials and hands

Collecting several DateJust 1601 with different dial/hand combination is an interesting theme. Readers could set the combo according to one's preference and budget. Definitely a venture full of funs and joys!

A senior player told me that the essence of collecting Rolex falls in collecting different dial / hand combination. In this blog, I will demonstrate several different style 1601. Each will have a link to more HD photos for examination. Watch more HD photos for sure is good to readers preparig to start buying from physical shops and / or online stores. It will help you to pick quality items and reduce the monetary cost in buying wrong items.

Matt black dial: About 1966 ref 1601. Stock dt160110

a. This is not T dial. It is a service dial with "SWISS MADE"

b. Dial is with lum dots but hands are non lum version. Fans who stick to 100% out factory condition may be disappointed. For me, it's fine. Readers are free to have your own choice.
