pbdad Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I dug up my first rep from 1992 that an uncle brought back for me from Thailand. I always thought it looked pretty good (and still do!), but I'd like to hear from the experts how this older DJ compares to today's modern rep. thanks for helping me with a blast from the past!

TeeJay Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I would say that the color of the dial is stunning The only thing I would ask, is how well has the gold lasted? If you were to transplant the movement/dial and hands, entirely 'as is' into a modern two tone DJ case, you'd have a very nice watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbdad Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 thanks!!! Yes, the dial is stunning indeed... I think that's what sells it. The gold has been doing fairly well for a watch that's almost 20 years old. The case, bezel, and crown still look amazing, but the gold on the bracelet's center links are showing some fading. How does the date wheel look? The funny thing is it still keep fantastic time and never been serviced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 The datewheel looks good to me The full gold and two-tone Rolexes always have the champagne-colored datewheels, so that's accurate I'm no expert on datewheel fonts, so I can't say for sure there, but, I would say that it certainly looks nice and clear A fine watch indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 It looks good enough to fool anyone but a knowledgeable Rolex collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4GTR Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I wouldn't change anything. Leave that as is and start anew. Would be interested tin what movement they used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 what do you think can be improved besides the case? None of the gold parts look right. But it could be the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
