I'm trying to study up on Rolex, so created a listing ...

May 18, 2017,17:26 PM
 

strapping on my ancient Datejust, I took a look at the catalog brought to me by a friend. 



Then I went on their website. Wow! Not only are there tons of watches to choose from, their website is incredibly easy to navigate. 


Other brands could take a lesson from Rolex.

Anyway, in the style of my Grand Seiko master list, I thought it might be useful to put a catalog list together. Of course, I grossly underestimated the effort involved! (&_)%%(&*&^%%^$&

Kinda like this:

But if you could take a look, and let me know what I may have missed, I would appreciate it.

BTW, although it looks like there are links in the left-most column, they do not go the appropriate Rolex models. Maybe someday ... if it is judged useful. At the moment they lead to GS watches smile

It's a noble effort but I think it might be easier

to just have a guide on what each of the number or set of numbers in a Rolex reference number means Remember, this is for the model reference number not the serial number of the case. Also, note that the Sports models don't always follow this exactly and ... 

Thank you for this information

My main interest is that I am going to a Rolex event in a couple weeks, and I wanted to be sure I understood the existing product line. I don't have enough brain cells free (at this time) to understand the historical evolution of all the previous models .... 

I did not forget ... I was ignorant - it's not quite the same thing :-)

Wow, good effort!

I know how hard this is - I tried to do something similar a while back... I put it all in a searchable database here The product lines go back a long way and get deep quickly! I notice you have some I missed. Would you mind if I reuse your list and add t... 

I don't mind. Your catalog is fantastic!

My list is taken directly from the latest Rolex US catalog, with a few extra models from the Rolex English-language website. I'll be attending a Rolex press briefing in a week or so, and if there are any new things, I'll let you know. But I suspect they a...  

Beautiful dial!

Looks porcelain?!? Only way to know what reference it is, is to see what is engraved between the lugs. I'd love to add any new references to this catalog if you have the details.

My watch is reference 16030 perhaps from 1985, with Jubilee bracelet

I have seen only one other like it - on the wrist of a guy in a business meeting seated across the table from me

Today I went through all the 16030 models shown on Chrono24, and there was one watch with a similar dial, though different bracelet. Cazalea
