Used Rolex Blue Sunburst Roman Dial Oyster Bracelet Like New Full Set – Used Rolex Watches Classic Mid-Size

Description

The Rolex Datejust 31 ref. 178240 (2016 warranty) is a beloved mid-size classic that stands out among used Rolex watches for its elegant proportions, striking blue sunburst dial, and timeless appeal. The 31mm Oystersteel case features a smooth polished bezel and brushed sides for balanced refinement, making it ideal for smaller wrists or unisex wear. The blue sunburst dial shimmers beautifully in light with applied Roman numeral markers and gold hands for sophisticated legibility, while the magnified date at 3 o’clock via Cyclops lens adds practical functionality.

Powered by the reliable Calibre 2235 (COSC-certified chronometer, quickset date), it offers consistent accuracy and everyday dependability. The Oyster bracelet with three-piece solid links, Oysterclasp, and Easylink 5mm extension ensures secure comfort for all-day wear.

This like-new example (great overall condition, minimal/no visible wear) comes as a complete original set: original box, booklet, hangtags, 2016 warranty card, and all accessories—ensuring authenticity and strong investment-grade appeal at $8,750 USD (competitive with secondary market $7,500–$9,500 for similar mint mid-size Datejusts with full set).

Among used Rolex watches, the Datejust 31 ref. 178240 offers vintage-inspired sizing (classic 31mm from earlier generations) with modern updates—contrasting larger sports models like Submariner or GMT-Master II. The blue sunburst Roman dial is highly collectible for its rich color and elegant markers; smooth bezel keeps it understated yet luxurious. Compared to Oyster Perpetual (no date, simpler), it adds date functionality and dressier appeal; versus two-tone or diamond variants, all-steel provides versatility and value.

Occasions suit this Datejust for daily wear (office, casual, jeans/blazer), formal events (pairs beautifully with dresses/suits), or as a timeless gift—the blue dial adds personality without overwhelming. Less ideal for extreme sports (opt for Submariner) but excels in refined, everyday luxury.

Deep insights: The Datejust 31 (ongoing since 1945) remains one of Rolex’s most versatile sizes; blue sunburst Roman dials surged in popularity post-2010s. 2016 examples with full set hold strong resale due to condition and original accessories—excellent entry into used Rolex watches with low depreciation risk.
