Advice on a Datejust purchase please. New vs Vintage
Hi,I am looking at buying a datejust watch for every day wear and wanted some advice on peoples experience of purchasing Rolex's.I have seen two models that i am keen on, the Datejust oyster 36, steel and gold with fluted bezel and black dial with a jubilee bracelet, model 116233.The other is model 16078, yellow gold, Datejust 36 with black dial, this one is vintage, 33 years old from a reputable online watch seller with no box or papers.Firstly, is buying with no box and papers a big issue?
