By-Tor Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 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.

TeeJay Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 That's lovely, TeeJay Any more info on it? Is it a gen dial? I've never seen it before! 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephane Posted November 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Thats a great catch, An amazing price u got for that one (i can read Arabic ) 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!
