Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Men’s Watch 116200-BLSO

My family has been collecting watches for more than 2 generations. Since I was young, my grandfather would often let me go through his watch collections (with constant supervision of course). Among his many watches, Rolex watches always seem to capture my attention. Many of them have their distinctive stainless tell straps and an unmistakable logo of a crown in the center. For me, Rolex watches have always been one of the most distinguished among other luxury watch brands.

In the past hundred years, Rolex has gone from producing classic watches to creating new line of ostentatious luxury timepieces. Many of the watches produced by Rolex today are so heavily adorned with gold and glaring precious tones. Some of the watches are just so over the top that it just looks (in my humble opinion) cheap and tacky!

Thankfully, despite Rolex’s effort to expand their range, it has retained its line of classical watches. One of my all time favorites is the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Men’s Watch (16200-BLSO). At 3.6 centimeters across, it is a midsize men’s watch that is designed to blend in with both casual and formal outfits.

It has a matte stainless steel casing and a distinctive navy blue dial. The numbers on the dial are indicated by small white strips, which make it very easy to tell the time under poor lighting conditions. Like many classical models, it has a date display at the 3 o’clock position and a magnifying glass right on top to magnify the date. The dates are in bright red numbers, just like how they use to make it in the 50’s. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust Men’s Watch 116200-BLSO is the epitome of classical luxury watches. It has a sort of retro feel embedded into is timeless design that I find simply irresistible!
