This tutorial explains how to build a frankenjust (i.e, franken Datejust) from scratch, or at least how I did it. The specific model I built is a reference 16014, but I think the concepts apply to other 16000-model types, too. I geared the level of detail in the steps and descriptions below to nov...

I purchased a Rolex datejust from a trusted dealer. Beautiful watch. Very happy with how it looks. (It's the larger of the two datejust sizes; I can't remember which movement t it has, but I paid about $250 a year ago. However if I wind the watch up in the morning, it lasts less than 24 hours....

Just got this back from mymanmatt and thought I’d post a few pics as I believe it’s the first Datejust on RWG with the Yuki movement. This is my third project with Matt and anyone into DJs and DDs should already worship him as the go-to guy for custom builds. Matt previously assembled two DJs for me...

Hey guys and gals, I was just cruising over on the big 'ol Bay site looking for some parts and stumbled across this lot. It looks to be legit, sourced at a watch maker's sale (possibly retired, who knows). There appear to be some nice parts here, as well as some very worn dials and such, but it co...

Hello all - this late 60's early 70's Datejust 1603 has been in the family 3 generations now. It had the standard silver face, classic yes, but boring and hard to read at a glance with the silver/silver/silver (stainless steel) design. So I stuck a Yuki Green face on it. I also had my watchm...

So, last week I got word that there was a pretty great estate sale going on about a two hour's drive away from me. The private home estate of a jeweler and his wife had been purchased and put up for sale. Foolishly, I waited until later in the day to head down to the sale, and sure enough, by the...

I'm having a hard time finding dial size information for some reason... Does anybody know if a dial meant for a 15000 midsize case will fit in a ref 1500? Ever try it? Also, the ETA 2824-2 seems to be everybody's go-to for the 1500, but can anybody recommend a slow-beat? Even--heresy, I know--a...
