Rolex 1990

Rolex watches from 1990 date from a time when the brand had already found its classics of today: the Datejust, Submariner, GMT-Master and Day-Date were built with modern automatic calibres and sapphire crystal, and many of these references are now collected as neo-vintage. Typical of these years are tritium luminous material on the dial and hands and a slimmer case compared with current models.

What to look for in a Rolex from 1990

With a watch of this age, what counts is the condition of the case and dial, the originality of the parts and proof of the last service. Tritium lume turns creamy to brownish over time, which is normal for original parts. Box and papers increase the value but are not available with every watch. One example from this period is the Rolex Datejust 31 with reference 68240 and calibre 2135.
