Good morning everyone, 

After dabbling in the Rep scene, I decided to dip my toes in a Oyster perpetual 114300 39mm Gen. 

I wanted to replace its bracelet with a Rep bracelet to keep the gen Bracelet for special occasions.

Does the BP or JF bracelet fit the Gen??

Can I put it on a leather band with SEL and Rep Buckle?

Secondly, 

I ordered the watch from a AD since they didnt have it in stock, I paid for it and got a call 24 hrs later and I was told that it will take 6-8 weeks.....is this normal? I couldnt find it anywhere else. 

Do they actually order it for me or do they wait unless Rolex sends one to them with whatever stock they get in?

It is the newly relealed white 114300 OP 39mm. 

Thank you very much. 

I understand,  I'm recently relocated to Collegeville btw.

It's a nice town. 

No watchmakers tho. 

Trying to source a BP 114300 blue op with the asian 2836 ,

All I can find is a BP with a SA and a JF with a SH3132.

I could of sworn BP made an asian eta version about 6 months ago. 

It's not on Joshua's site any more. 

Can someone steer me the right way.

Alot of TDs are telling me to go with JF SH3132, but I can't afford the service with rolex Gen parts. 

And I can always drop a swiss eta in the asian one not the sh3132. 

Thank you

Yuki/SH3135 yes. SA3135 no.

Is your Site down? 

Whats the blackhole effect? 

The watch looks amazBalls! Congrats weqar it in good health

 

That's fine for ETA 2824/2836

Thank you

 

The gen Datejust 2 dial has a green lume mate ;-)

 

You gotta be kidding me! LOL, the TD site said Blue so I assumed its blue. 

So the DJ41 is Blue?

The story is the Ordered a watch that have a Lower Crown of the dial and the wrong color lume ( green instead of blue). The TD sent me the replacement dial.....with Still the wrong color lume......So I decided not to worry about it anymore Since the Rep stops working every couple days. 

Im am thinking of sending it off to be relumed, Dial replaced and serviced....Any recommendations ?? in US?

Can you please tell me what you guys think of the replacement Dial? thicker Indices.? The old marker on the watch is crooked @ 5 mins as well. 

the crown on the watch dial is 3D while the crown on the new replacement dial is flat. 

Also the dial feet are @ min 43 and min 13, does that sound right for a 2836? 

Thank you folks. 

This is a scary thread.

How many people showed up?

Found it with Arabic dial but English day and date wheel. 

Just can't find it @ any TD here

It took me a while to understand what POS was meaning...

Ok... just stopped and no sign of life? Not even after a good wind?

It worked again after I tapped it on the palm of my hand a few times. Stops once a week even if I wind it. But starts back up as soon as I tap it . POS .....lol 

Nevermind everyone this POS just stopped. 

So it took 4 days for DHL to pick up from Hong Kong,  was told it was packed/ shipped Dec 1st, DHL pickedit up on the 4th , arrived today on the 7th. 

+Site said new blue line, I'm seeing green.

+crown too high on dial

+impossible to screw crown in after I set the time....it took a while. Crown seems rough when I try to turn it. 

I ordered the 2836 raw Asian,  but I couldn't open it. 

The Rolex script on the inside, is the R supposed to be at every of  the indices?  

The 5 min indice is a bit crooked.

I can’t help you with sourcing one, but I love it. I think I would like a Datejust version though, I speak Arabic a little and read the numbers, but script defeats me. I lived in the Middle East at one time 

 

By the way, instead of posting links to pictures, if you click on the paper clip icon below the text box, when making a post, you can directly upload pictures to the forum

Thanks for the Picture attachment advice. 

I found an Arabic DW for a DateJust btw. 

Where in the middleeast? 

Absolutely or Dubai.

 I'm going to be on the look out for it

I love this Arabic numeral dial and Arabic DW.

Couldn't find it on any td sites. 

Where can I source it?

Thanks

You’ve come to the right place and I’m glad to see, as a refreshing change, a new member with some class and manners.
I hope you can stay and integrate yourself into our community. You might find it necessary to elbow the knitting ladies like@nanuq and@nikki6 out of the way occasionally but I trust that you’ll find your way around.

I appreciate it @Legend

Lol, Actually no you didn’t. It was more of you asking something, and members chiming in to help you, and you not acknowledging their input.

There is however no rule against that here, it’s your right. My comment was more a tip to help you get the most out of your experience here especially when you need help with rolex stuff. At RWG, you couldn’t toss a rock without hitting a Rolex expert here and seeing that you’re fairly new, I just thought to share a tip on interaction.
I’ve seen many new members adopt the register-ask-disappear paradigm and whenever possible I prefer to see a new member integrate himself meaningfully here and in time evolve to a member who can help others.

I totally understand, I've seen that on bodybuilding forums. " Help me lose 52lbs before Christmas" , "I want brad pitt abs in fight club" posts and then they disappear.

For $150, it looks ok, but it is not a quality rep. The SEL fitment is horrible for one. 

You can try picking another specimen if possible, with a better SEL fit.

Canal street prices are going up lately. 

It's an OK watch but definitely not a super rep. Enjoy this piece but take a look at our TD's.

You can get the same watch off DHgate for $75.

What legend said... terrible SEL is dead give-away but for $150... not too bad. Definitely not a "AAA" grade rep. Sapphire appears to sit too high.

I appreciate the feedback everyone, I indeed went with a TD. Still in transit. 
It was just something I bumped into in NYC and figured I'd share here so people know whats out there and So I can see what you guys think and learn spotting imperfections. Cause When I saw it I couldnt tell about the SEL or the Raised Sapphire. But now I know what to look for.

Also a tip for you@Americany13

Take some time to acknowledge the help and advice you’re getting here from the members who’re responding on your datejust threads. The guys are really wells of knowledge waiting to be tapped regarding what you’re asking and good manners is the key to meaningful interaction.

I didn't buy it, I went with perfectclones bp datejust

I recently purchased a 116300 from a truster seller on here, I disliked the dial and was told not to worry about it since its just the way the picture was taken. I thought the Crown was to high on the Dial, Am I being too anal? Paid 288$

I want to swap the dial, DHgate? Order another from a different TD? or take the plunge and get a Gen Dial 

this is the watch I'm referring too  https://imgur.com/a/DJF4W

Oh, I miss understood. It's ok though the mods pointed me in the right way and the watch is in transit.
