umairarif Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hi I would like to know the difference between quick and slow set when talking about rolex datejust. Also would like to know the parts are interchangeable on both watches? like dials hands movements etc regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKTime Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 On a slowset you set the date by rotating the hours hand through two full 12 hour rotations. On a quickset you can change the date with the crown via it's own detent. A slowset (piepan) dial doesn't have dial feet but quicksets do. I believe cases for both 160x series and 160xx and 162xx will fit both movements. The 162xx uses a different crown/tube combo. It uses the newer 5.3/6mm crown.

umairarif Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) so the dials are different for both movements and not compatible to eachother?

umairarif Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 but i think we are talking about 16xxs and 16xxxs?? or these are numbers for watches not the movements? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 15xx series of movements is a lowbeat, slowset movement. 16xx and 16xxx wer series of watches that used those movements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umairarif Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 understood sir, still learning about my new hobby. and these 1600 and 16000 series watches are 34-36mm? is the datejust 2 a 16xxx series? cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKTime Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 They were all 36mm in size. The Datejust 2 is 41mm but is a different ref number. They have an extra 1 in the ref, ie 116233. The 162xx series were quickset with a sapphire crystal I believe. The 160x, 160xx, and 162xx were all 36mm and dimensionally, the cases are all pretty close with slight differences in lug shape.
