My gen president is 24 years old. Today I build reps, for me and my customers. It doesn't make sense to buy a gen anymore. I buy rep daytona, and yachtmaster, and they look amazing. Many of my friends have those in gen. Honestly, for the price, why do I need a gen daytona and yachtmaster, mine look as good on the wrist as theirs do
Rolex 36mm does look good on women. If your mom tried it, I think she would wear it alot. This is one of my favorites. Stunning in person, but not over the top. Ive sold dozens of these to women, not just this dial, but many variations. 99% use them for a daily beater. Months later, they tell me how much they love it
The boys are correct. Gold is for a watch that is worn in rotation. However, I disagree on the diamonds. I have diamond bezels that after 2-3 years still look amazing. Of course that's not the case with all diamond bezels. Some of them, in a short time look really bad. So, buyer beware.
If you want to send it to me I think I can fix it for you. So hard to diagnose when you're not looking at it. Im willing to bet it's something very simple. The bracket, or bridge that holds part umber 2784 in place, is also responsible for holding the calandor wheel down. Make sure it's not bent or loose. Also part number 462 gets bent up on the lip, that will let the date disc move to the left, and pop up.
Just saw you question about a 2836 in a rep case. You DO NOT have to cut the feet on a presidents dial. Simply notch the movement ring where the feet are. The feet on a presidents dial sit ouside a 2836-2. It's actually easier to mount a pres dial than a gen datejust dial. HELLO!! YOU SAW WHERE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CUT THE FEET ON A PRESIDENTS DIAL!!!
The foot location is different. The conversion they did on the 3035 involved a new dial ring on the top of the movement. It also included the mecanisim to dive the day wheel. Very cool conversion. However,many dealers in dallas got stuck with them. When they opened the case they saw 3035 not 3055. After removing the movement, and I did a couple, the conversion was apparent. The ring on the top of the 3035 added height and had the holes for the presidents dial. It also increased the diameter of the movement. I have some aftermarket 18038 cases in stainless if that will help. They don't make them anymore.
the 3055 will not fit in the 16000 case. However I did see some 3035's coverted to 3055, they will fit in a18000 case after the conversion,, just not the other way around.
