The Great Rolex DateJust Watches, Presidential and more
Common features of the Rolex DateJust Watch
This fine and elegant timepiece fashioned in gold, platinum, stainless or a combination of the different types of metal and color, shows the wearer the time and the date of the month, hence the name DateJust, only showing the date. Most models of the Rolex DateJust watch come in a variety of bezels, jeweled, smooth, or fluted. The hour markers are also very definitive in their make, ranging from single strip or stud markings to that of diamond studs and glow in the dark number points. The hour and minute hands usually glow in the dark, as well as being equipped with a smooth sweeping second hands backed by a perpetual movement, solid crowns and minute calibrated dials and Lupe over the date for clearer reading, set in sapphire crystal to last a lifetime of use and pleasure. Authentic Rolex DateJust watches are made of solid gold, not just plated, and precision 44 jeweled movements instead of 24 or 21 jeweled movements and of course come with the authentic Rolex warranty if purchased from an authorized dealer.
Rolex DateJust Watch Bracelets
The Rolex DateJust watch is sculpted in 18ct gold, rose gold, or stainless steel, the Oyster Perpetual DateJust is fitted in a variation of principally three types of bracelets with either an Oyster fiplock a Jubilee bracelet or a Presidential option. The three types of bracelets are explained as the following:
The Rolex DateJust watch fitted with an Oyster fiplock bracelet has thin elongated links three across the bracelet providing a flatter more streamlined appearance. The Rolex DateJust bracelets are either fashioned to the clasp and case via high quality screws or high quality pins that are pinched at one end to impede the pin from moving both directions through the bracelet links, thus controlling to a greater degree the adjustment of the bracelet.
The Rolex DateJust fitted with the Rolex Jubilee bracelet is constructed with five links across the width of the bracelet, two wider links are fashioned on the outside of the bracelet with three more finite and much smaller links fashioned together in the middle creating a sophisticated look and feel of high quality and durability, quite often the three smaller links within the Rolex DateJust bracelet are gold with the outer links being white gold or stainless to sport a two tone bracelet which is greatly admired.
The Rolex DateJust Presidential bracelet is made of a much smaller link than that of the Rolex Oyster DateJust; it almost appears as though the links were small half moons linked together by some invisible tie in the middle. The top of the links, facing the outer part of the bracelet are round and by the nature of construction these bracelets are without question the most flexible of any that are produced and wear more like a well fitted jeweled bracelet with a watch incorporated as opposed to a watch with an attractive bracelet added later.
Most of the Rolex DateJust models have the option of a Rolex Oyster, Jubilee or Presidential bracelet with the varying options of colors in gold, platinum and stainless. There also exists a special jeweled version of the Rolex DateJust which may be set with precious stones and further adorned with different colored dials and diamond-set bracelets and bezels. If you like the feel and show of glamour, this is definitely and option that you MUST look into.
The Rolex DateJust that is shown here is an excellent example and is worth every penny paid. Equipped with a special balance wheel oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hertz, the automatic movement has a power reserve, and should be pre-wound prior to use.
This is done by gently unscrewing the crown until it clicks free, then winding the crown in a forward motion for about 15 seconds. You have now successfully set the power reserve. If you consistently wear your watch, you may never need to wind the power reserve. Another method of quickly winding your Rolex Date Just watch is tapping on the side of the watch on the palm of your opposite hand, as you do so, you will feel the movement spinning inside the watch. However this is more for enjoyment of hearing and feeling the beautiful automatic movement.
If you leave your Rolex Date Just watch unattended for more than a day or so, and do not have an automatic watch winder (a device that gently rocks back and forth to wind an automatic movement).
