Ditto. If they fit the case & function, I would leave them alone & concentrate on something else.

(Assuming the branding on this 'work of art' is a 1:1 accurate representation of the real thing) According to Rolex lawyers (which the US, UK & many other countries' governments rarely disagree with), no. It would not be legal. The words 'copyright infringement' would likely appear within the 1st paragraph of their legal writ against the creator. On the other hand, had you specified another brand or name (other than Rolex/Tudor, etc), then the answer might be different. For reference, the Campbell's soup company lodged several suits against the artist, Andy Warhol, for his soup can prints. If I remember correctly, because the depictions were graphic representations of Campbell's brand image (& not exact duplications of it), the courts held that there had been no real infringement &, so, Campbells could not claim damages & Warhol was allowed to make & sell his work (without having to pay to use the Campbell's images). Such would probably not be the case for the premise you cited.

Ending the work week with 2 time zones

Definitely. Very luxurious & they keep watches well protected.

That watch is referenced in someone's Rolex book, so I believe such a (gen) watch does exist. Additionally, Antiquorum is usually pretty good about authenticating watches, so I think it is safe to assume this 1 is the real deal. The watch has been commented on in TZ since at least since 2004 here & here.

Ubi - I think this may be the best pic of your watch. I love the way the polished metal details sparkle without making the watch look real blingy. Wearing Phase 1 today

I have 2 of these (from Orbita)

Wearing my O-PD today

I always thought Rolex made a big mistake by waiting so long to release their larger watches & thus missing the crest of the big watch craze in the early 00s. I agree. I got my 1st TT DJ (& Armani suit) in the mid-80s at the behest of my then girlfriend, who was in love with the David Addison character played by Bruce Willis in the Moonlighting tv series. Product placement, even when unintentional, can be very profitable.

Unless someone has a pre-release bootleg copy, we will not know until the movie is released on the 27th. But, in the series, he often wore a TT DJ with (I think) a white dial & stick markers. The close-up I posted above is from the trailer, which is obviously a steel DJ. My guess, since the SATC writers & producers are famous for following cutting-edge fashion trends very closely, is that they decided to tone down Big's watch to bring it more into line with today's smaller, more understated mens' watches.

Great pic. Today, I am following Mr. Big's lead (top down, but with different models & sans the inscription)

I am pretty sure that Andrew or Josh (possibly other sellers) will custom make a DJ to your specs.

Starting the work week wearing my O-PD

The 1665 & 5514 have gen movements inside old style MBW mid-cases (I understand the new/current MBW cases are different than the older MBW cases, but I have never compared old vs new, so I cannot provide any details). The 1665 required a cut-out (180 degrees opposite the crown side) & some grinding of the movement's pillar plate to provide ingress for the movement locking screw & He valve. The 5514 was a simple, drop-in affair (no mods required).

Still wearing my CHS ceramic on Sunday

It looks like they made an attempt to deliver the package at the address on the package, but were unable to. Could be - wrong/incomplete address, no one home, etc. I would check with the shipper or your seller.

Just took 1 of the cars out for a spin & still wearing my CHS

Oops.

Ending the work week wearing my ceramic CHS

Sold @ $3,200

Nice sighting & a rare beauty. Likewise, I already have too many irons in the fire to bid on this 1.

Read the Graphite treatment (I am no longer providing this service) & By-Tor's review of the secs @ 6 Daytona, which is pinned at the top of this forum.
