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 ...  

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 ....

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...

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
