Those were the romantic days, those were the times. The world was less professional, and there was time to stand and stare. People had quaint ideas about how to lead a life where emotions and sentiments had more meaning and importance than they do now. The Datejust watch from Rolex reflected just this era, alas, now gone by. However, you can still get it as a
Rolex replica watch many places and affordable, too.
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Line of watches, of which watches such as Datejust and Day-Date are members, were designed for a different generation of people who had a very different mindset. We loved them, and most probably would have scorned at the new-fangled gadgets with the all-professional, no-heart look of the Oyster Professional Line. (That we have now fallen hook, line and sinker for the Professional series also, is a different issue. But I digress.) And it is a grudging recognition of that bygone era that the Datejust model is the best-selling model in Rolex's catalog till date.
Rolex introduced the Datejust model in 1945. You guessed it; this was the time of the likes of Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, Gregory Peck, and Ingrid Bergman… And people would rush to their loves after watching the movies, gift in hand, and the gift would invariably be a Rolex Datejust – for those who could afford it, of course. It is no accident that Rolex kept the design unchanged for the major part of the next twenty-five years, so much had the Datejust taken the world by storm in those days.
The 16013 Datejust with me has a 3035 caliber movement. This is self-winding, mechanical, with a freely-sprung balance spring made by Breguet. The adjusting screws are from Microstella.
Another attention-grabber - in the parties, especially – is the fluted bezel that looks so cute with its golden sparkle. I caught the sparkle in the eye of the steward who was serving me the other day. Made me feel vindicated of this purchase I made a long time ago.
The 36mm diameter of the watch is ideally more suited for half-sleeved, informal shirts, in my opinion, but I have felt quite comfortable wearing it with my full formal suit as well. I am not sure, but I suspect that my style must have been aped by quite a few of the young executives I deal with, and yesterday I spotted my junior wearing the exact same Rolex Datejust 16013 in the exact same suit. The young lad will surely rise swiftly in the company in the days to come; I am sure he will!
If you make an order in February then you automatically are enrolled in a sweepstake for a ticket to Sofia in Bulgarien though accommodation is not included as well as a chemical peel skin care kit for younger looking and flawless skin.
