If you want to know the price of the watch, simply click on the links in the description below. We greatly appreciate it if you buy a watch from JazTime.com once in a while. Today we'll be reviewing the Rolex Datejust 31. This is the model number 2-7-8 2-8-8 R-B-R. We're going over the dial, bezel, case, crown, bracelet, clasp and we'll talk about the movement towards the end of the video. All right. So jumping right into the dial here, you can see this is one of the most luxurious dial configurations you can get from the Rolex line. On the Datejust... on specifically for the Datejust models this is a diamond pave dial, with butterfly mother... With butterfly shaped motheril pearl sets. These are all handset and hand... hand shaped for the dial itself. That's the setting for the motheril pearl butterflies. I'm going to zoom in, into the dial over here. Can see it's just very thinly marked by a outline of 18 karat yellow gold for its settings. And of course, even all these, all the sparkling from the small diamond pave on the dial as well are all set in the 18 karat yellow gold. So you have this beautiful contrast of, you know the shine from the diamonds, the nice sort of yellow from the small tints of yellow from all these, the yellow gold settings from the face of the watch. And then you have these beautiful unique butterflies shaped of motheril pearl, butterflies that capture light, you know in a very different way compared to the rest of the watch. Whereas, you know, the unique, you know as light hits the face of the watch the pave will shine, the pave dial will shine along with the, you know, the diamond set bezel also set in that 18 karat yellow gold as well. I believe the the bezel itself is around like around a carat weight or so. We put about like 46, I believe around 46 set diamonds the diamonds all will naturally, you know sparkle in the sunlight capturing light in its own way. But the motheril pearl, it's unique every motheril pearl slice that gets set into here will have the different shades that it will capture light. So you all have this very interesting, interesting unique style dial to look at, as you can see, as I tilted my light box, the, you know, you would you can see different contrast shades of that the coloration of the motheril pearl just sort of shift around. So it gives this dial a very uniqueness to it. And each dial will be just a little bit different than the other, just if from someone else's. So if you were to just, you know, if you purchase this one and someone else purchased this one, those motheril pearl shadings will be different from each other and you'll have a unique style watch to yourself. Okay. But besides that, we still have, you know the typical Datejust structure of having a Rolex crown logo at the 12 o'clock position. Instead, we have the Rolex text right underneath that. Plated in that 18 karat yellow gold as well contrasting very nicely with the yellow gold plating. At the three o'clock position we still have the date window for with a Cyclops lens on top of that sapphire crystal for magnification, easier view of that date. But as you can see, very, very elegant dial. However, if I had, however if I didn't sell you on how beautiful this watch is you can also choose other options as well. It's a Datejust watch. Datejust watches have numerous different configurations specifically for this model. If you enjoy having that 18 karat yellow gold for the whole, for the whole of the watch and then the other dial configuration configurations available to you, you can get it in index r markers, diamond r markers, Roman numerals, all set that 18 carat, yellow gold. But also you can also have different dial colors as well. You're available You're available colors are champagne, white, I believe this comes in a olive green as well, also in a brown, so different configurations and, you know really it's up to your personal preference. But for this specific video, this I'm showing you the top of the line best dial configuration you can get from Rolex that will give you a run for your money. All right. So that's the dial. I'll re-mention the bezel is about I believe about 46 set diamonds with about carat weight of diamonds on the bezel of the watch. Rolex doesn't typically update their update their website with the actual carat weight of the pave on the dial so I can't give you that information but I believe some sources say that the the bezel itself is around a carat weight 4- that 40, about 46, 46 at diamonds. All right, moving on to the case. Now, the case is a as the name States is a Rolex Datejust 31. So this is a 31 millimeter watch. So from an index finger to my thumb here this is 31 millimeters in diameter. You can see from the profile, actually not too of course, it's a very small profile from the side profile of the watch. It's not going to be, it's not a very large watch. So of course the height of the watch, wouldn't be very large as well. And it's a very simple complication for the movement which I'll talk about here in a second. So you have very, you know, the movement itself isn't very complicated, not so it doesn't command a larger case sizing. So this watch will fit into those suit cuffs or chest cuffs very nicely but as it's a dress watch, beautiful high Polish from the side of the case, side of the bezel, matching with the sides of the bracelet, also on the lugs of the case as well, very beautiful high polish as well, and a very beautiful high polish on the other parts of the lugs as well. So top of the lugs are here And bottom of the lugs here. All right. One thing that, one thing to mentioned at this current at this current point is that this is actually an updated updated from the previous model. The previous model is a 1-7-8 2-8-8 R-B-R that existed. They did do a few updates. We do have a comparison video of that. So you can see them side by side, just check out check out our YouTube channel for that. But the minor, the minor changes that they did for this watch from updating it from the previous model was that they changed the lug size. So we have thinner lugs and also a thinner case overall. And we have some other changes as well but that's one of the main changes as with Rolex they're trying to update all of their watches. I believe even the most recent change was on the submariner. They've sort of giving it the original Datejust treatment the Datejust 2 and Datejust 41 where they sort of just slimmed down basically trying to re-proportion their watches making them nice and slim and more elegant overall. All right, moving on to the crown mounds. The crown is of course, 18 karat yellow gold crown as well. So I just want to show you that side of the crown you can see marked by two dot entities right underneath that crown logo meaning that this watch has a twin lock and double waterproof-ness system mean... that's meaning that this watch has the standard water resistance that most Rolex watches have, which is a hundred meters or 330 feet. Unwinding the crown counterclockwise will open up that crown into the standard position. And the standard positions is where you can wind your watch about 15 to 20 clockwise turns this all you need to get the watch started once more. Pulling the crown out to the next position while you to adjust the date instantaneously by going counterclockwise, as you see. And pulling the crown out to the final position. We'll actually stop the second time. I'm going to stop it at the six o'clock position here or close to it. And that allows for precise time setting such as two atomic clock, atomic clocks online you can set it down to the exact seconds and then you'll be able to move the hands by direction and set the time however you like. I'm just going to set it back to the ten and two position. All right, pressing the crown back in, we'll start that second time once more and always make sure to screw the crown nice and tight and against the case. I just want to keep this watch water resistance once again 100 meters or 330 feet. Moving onto the bracelet now. This is a president style bracelet available on the date available on this Datejust watch. As you can see there's just a semicircular links, very similar very similar to the president bracelet you would get on a Day date watch. So to have some of the circular links three-piece links, nice mirror, finish down the center and with a brushed finish on the outer of the three-piece links. And that goes throughout the whole bracelet. And you can see continues that same patterning. This runs a concealed folding crown clasp is noted notated by the Rolex crown logo here. So that means the clasp can be opened up from here to put the watch on your wrist. And you see very beautiful embossment of the Rolex logo, our Rolex name onto the clasp blade itself there, which is high polished. Let me close that back up. Cause I want you to see the other side of the bracelet even though it's the same. I love to give a full rotation of view of the bracelets so see what you're getting. Nice tapering from the first link down. Even on these 31 millimeter watches, these smaller watches they still have proportions in mind. So they still even have just a slight bit of tapering from the links back. And once again, I want to show you the clasp. So once again, this is the concealed folding crown clasp as you would typically see on a, on a president bracelet and also in Jubilee bracelets as well. Actually they've actually most recently stopped doing them on Jubilee bracelets only older style Jubilee bracelets will have this concealed folding crown clasp. All right. So let me actually go let me actually show you the back of the case now. So this is the back of the case, of course is where the movement is housed and you see a nice sand finish. Woops. Nice sand finish on the case back there. Nice, bordering, nice border and high Polish around the around that edge. For the movement itself, for the movement itself, we're looking at a updated move. It used to run a 20 to 35 movement on the previous model, which again, once that 1-7-8 2-8-8 R-B-R but now we're moved on to a new, newer style of movement. This is the in-house movement by Rolex the perpetual mechanical self movement. It's a caliber 20 to 36 movement. So it has a position of minus two plus two seconds a day for precise, for precise timekeeping. Has eight functions as I mentioned of these center, hour, minute and seconds hand with the instantaneous changing of the date and stopping at secondhand or precise time setting as I've shown you with the crown functions. The oscillator the oscillator is a Syloxi hairspring and a silicone meaning that this watch has additional resistance against magnetism. And there's also high-performers paraphiliac paraphiliac shock absorbers which are in-house made shock absorbers by Rolex. The industry standard shock absorbers are the KIF which they used to use in previous movements, but Rolex has been moving towards more in house made parts. So now we have that update to that shock absorber as well. The powers of this watch are looking at a 55 hour power reserve. Meaning could put this watch down on the Friday, push it ...put this watch out on the Friday evening, picked back up on the Sunday evening, you know, be keeping time just fine. All right, now let let me actually show you this watch on my wrist. So we're going to open up that concealed folding crown clasp here. All right. I do have an average man sized wrist. So this is going to fit a little bit tight on me. This is a smaller watch so it should fit a little bit smaller wrists. Okay. As you can see very beautiful motheril pearl butterflies, pave diamonds, just it's just absolutely very unique looking, looking face of a Rolex watches. This is not a sort of the dial you would expect from Rolex. If you're walking around and about and you happen to walk past the window, we head turning and they we'll see this very, very beautiful unique style dial, but overall still has a Rolex look of the president bracelet, beautiful case beautiful polishing of the bracelet. You can see it goes nicely throughout and you can see once again, profile not high off the wrist as it is a smaller watch.
