Rolex Datejust Case Set Price?

"E" serial 16223 case-set/case back, crystal, bezel, dial, crown, DW are all gen. Also- retaining ring for ETA movement. Dial is champagne/stick- nothing fancy."

Fair prices more or less, imho:

Case and caseback about $150 to $200 if no case corrosion or damage. Good 'lug hole' cases are getting harder to find.

Check closely for case corrosion at gasket surfaces, between lugs, and under bezel. Very little is Ok, a lot is not.

Rock the case on a flat surface (front side up) to make sure it is not bent. A little is Ok, a lot is not.

Check the case neck to be sure it has not been damaged by a blade when removing the bezel. Nicks = leaks.

A no chip/no scratch genuine sapphire crystal about $35. Hard to prove genuine without coronet, really not much difference though.

Good 24-603-8 6mm gold cap crown with good threads, no dings or wear through...about $35.

Good condition 18k fluted bezel for sapphire DJ (fairly sharp flutes and no blade cuts) with coronet stamps on back side (3.7 grams of 18k)...about $150 or $200.

Coronet stamps prove bezel to be genuine but early bezels may not have coronet stamps.

Quick set acrylic DJ bezel is lower in profile...it will work but too much crystal gasket shows.

Sapphire models should have 18k bezels and mid links.

Silvertone or goldtone dial in good condition with all luminous dots and dial feet...$75 to $150 (I started at $75 because I recently bought one for $75).

Good datewheel...about $30 to $50.

Full set of hands with good luminous material (not cracked or missing)...about $25 or $35.

Genuine rolex on the outside, Eta on the inside...$ priceless. :animal_rooster:
