-Description
The Datejust is one of Rolex's most iconic automatic watches, born in 1945.
Reference 16233 is a vintage model that appeared around 1988 and was produced until 2005.
It is a so-called 5-digit reference and is sometimes introduced as a neo-vintage. This watch was produced in 1993.
It has a combination design of stainless steel and white gold bezel, with a beautifully cut fluted bezel that gives it a luxurious look.
The dial is a shell dial made of natural materials, which is very rare among Rolex watches.
It is also known as Mother Of Pearl, and the pattern varies from piece to piece.
Because it is relatively common in women's models, it is a rare existence in men's Datejust watch.
Among the shell dials, the rarer black shell is used. Since white shells are common, it is a rare dial with almost no opportunity to see it.
The exotic and unique colouring of the dial can only be achieved with natural materials.
The appearance changes considerably depending on the angle and the way the light hits it.
It is difficult to describe in words, but I would venture to say that it is a greyish-purple, sometimes pink hue.
The uniqueness of the watch is accentuated by the white Roman numerals on a silver background.
Both dial and hands are in very good condition.
The installed movement is automatic Cal.3135.
The bracelet is Jubilee Bracelet 62510H. It's dressy and gives the impression of a bracelet for a Datejust.
Comes with original box and passport holder.

About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
