  1. Nice Franken. Not an official Rolex product though. The Pawn Shop guy is correct. There is no Rolex President DayDate in SS. :yawn:

    Again, very nice Franken.

    It's very rare and has been seen auctioning at obscene prices. Most people - even Rolex people - don't know it exists. Can't fault the pawn guy for saying it doesn't.

    Check out ubi's: http://www.rwg.cc/to...ate-plus-a-day/

    In fact, the things the pawn guy says are all very, very reasonable even if known by rep maniacs like us to be less than 100% accurate. He's simply reporting what he knows and has learned from his experience owning a pawn shop. I'm sure most of what he sees is canal street stuff.

  2. Men have jobs where you make mid to high six figures and you shouldn't show up with a saddle bag to meet the CFO of an international mega-corporation. Yippee kai yai yay, Martha Fokker. "LOL"

    Yet, you wear a rep watch and now want a rep bag to impress those CFOs? CFOs are men. It'd be refreshing for them to see somebody with a cool bag instead of the generic crap that they see day in and day out. Trust me. I know.

  3. In fact I will put 100 bucks on the table right now to buy the clasp

    A gen clasp has both stamped (REGISTERED SWISS MADE, STEELINOX) and etched (date code (WTF does V1X1 mean anyway?! It was first made in 1996 then completed in 1999?!!), model code) markings. This clasp is all stamped. Thus, it is a replica clasp. Not to mention that "ROLEX" engraving text is HUGE! :rofl:

  4. Specs of the above watch:

    • PureTime Mark XV Spitfire case. This case has the correct dimensions (19mm lug width, correct case back)
    • Swiss ETA 2892-A2 movement
    • gen IWC dial
    • gen IWC hands (thanks, Texski)
    • gen IWC crown and crown tube (thanks, Texski)
    • rep buckle (I've switched it to the rep IWC deployant clasp)

    The photos were taken with a Google Nexus S phone!

    I should add, if anybody is interested, I have an extra case with gen crown tube. All you'd need is a dial, hands, crown and movement. This case can be used for the Spitfire XV line as well.
