love them - got most of them pretty cheap - 600 to 800 Euros

the dial is nicely aged and faded - i think 1963

perfect condition :

TOG - stone age - pre Tritium wrong bezel ..

cheers,

Frank

Beautiful watches!! I'm afraid I have to recycle the same old photos.

I liked this rep although it wasn't very accurate (if a white gold DD can even be accurately replicated). Way too small watch for me but my girlfriend (now wife) posed with it.

I'm not a real big fan but I do have the Turn-O-Graph version and wife.gov has a couple ladies Datejusts silver and black dials with stick markers...

That's lovely, TeeJay

Any more info on it? Is it a gen dial? I've never seen it before!

[Brightight]

Only posted these yesterday, but I guess they bear repeating................ Both Frankens, gen apart from movement, hands and datewheel

[rosnik]

[GoFaster]

My Datejust with Oyster band and 3135 Kaliber.

Blue dial but I have a Grey one too...

Beautiful pieces guys!

Thanks indeed The watch cost £26, if memory serves, and the dial is simply a layer of vinyl with a woodgrain finish I removed the dial markers, applied the sticker, poked holes with a pin for the markers to re-attach, and that was the result It should've had the full complement of Roman numerals, but one of the markers snapped, so I had to improvise/compromise on the design

Hey guys, it's cool to see all these beauties.

I'm surprised to see so many of them.

It means I'm not totaly insane wearing a 36MM or a 37MM (DJ or future JLC).

In the end, it's only few MM less than a sub and a regular Pam, isn't it.

These classic watches, or "normal" sizes, will last forever where the 45MM or even more will not survive that long in my opinion.

I'll do my best to post some DJ threads in the near future, it's a matter of time though, as my life is quite busy at the moment.

In the meantime, here some pics of that incredible 16013 full set to keep the thread alive

Well, I have no idea what is the original price...but that was back in 1981.

I bought the watch this month, so I doubt I paid the same price...specialy in Euros

[Utheman]

I gave this to my son tonite for his 21st birthday...His first wristie

[mjmj]

These are my DJs.

Fantastic moment!

I can't wait for mine to be adult and give him his first Rolex.

So far...he has a Seiko

Congrats to the father and son

Superb, modding is good!

I might even have been tempted to leave all the numerals off bar the rolex crown at 12, so it mimicked the plain dial posted by freddy, but it looks great as it is

And for £26, you can't go wrong!
