Men's Rolex Date Vs Men's Rolex Datejust

Rolex Date and Rolex Datejust are without doubt one of the two most beloved model in the Rolex collection. The usual inquire is :"What is the distinction between these two models?" Since both of the watches look approximately the same it is easy to get confused ,especially when you are purchasing on the internet, and you are only able to see pictures.

In reality both watches are the same except for the size difference. The Datejust case measures 36 mm in width and its bracelet is 20 mm. While the Date has 34 mm case and 19 mm Band. Therefore what makes them confident is 2 mm on the case and 1 mm on the band. If you are at a jewelry shop would be easy to distinguish them when you have the watches side by side . Any way what if you do not have them to compare because you only see one model at the store or because you see it on the internet? Well it is easy if you have the reference number. The Rolex Datejust would have models such as 116200, 16200, 16000, 1600. The Rolex Date would have numbers such as 115200, 15200, 15000, 1500. It will all depend how old the watch is and what features it has. As a rule of thumb keep in mind that Datejust will have 16 in between and the Date 15 in between. Ordinarily sellers put the model numbers on the descriptions of items , if not just ask them and they should politely contribute them. If you have the watch in your possession you can also take off the bracelet and the reference numbers will be on the case between the lugs.

If you are looking to buy a Rolex watch and you are undecided between these two models then just keep in mind that the Datejust is slightly bigger. If you are looking for a smaller watch then the Date is your best option otherwise the Datejust is your watch. Also it is leading to know that even though they are determined to be men's watches, that proper does not exist anymore since they are very beloved among women and the trend is going toward bigger watches everyday.
