Which year was this produced? Thanks this is an early production 16238 from 1989. It succeeds ref 16018 . Upgraded movement 3135, more refined case design and solid gold crown tube instead of plain steel one of its predecessor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic November 12, 2022 Share November 12, 2022 This is a silver tapestry datejust 16018. Predecessor of the Ref 16238 as mentioned earlier. looks almost identical but there are distinctive minute differences as shared just now. An excellent elegant 18k solid gold Rolex which can last more than a lifetime for sure. This piece is around 1982/83 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold long time ago. After a long while of wearing watches, I find myself prefer round watches more. But the Reverso is always a special piece. Yeah JLC also one of my fav Second watch(reverso) that I intro to my wife after a santos. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I am wrong, is 3135 movement only released recently, within the last 10 years, because now I see the new models use 3135 movement also. In terms of upgrading, do you trade in the old movement to get the new one? or how does it works? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrading meaning Rolex factory upgraded the movement in the new Ref. No such thing as trding in for new movement. Hahah Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santos is another lovely watch. Very refined with lots of history behind it. Those roman numerals on the Santos has certain magic to it; simple, legible and when pair with the square case, looks absolutely beautiful. The current design with an integrated case that just flows with the bracelet is quite stunning and that easy smartlink system is just god-send for people who play with straps.

Hahah ah, I think I was mistaken between 3135 and 3235. 3235 is the new movement that they have been working on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
