Confusion About Date-just?


blancheunal

Recommended Posts

I'm gonna buy a lady date-just and I checked some sites, here are the results.

trustytime's lady date-just : diameter 26 mm thickness 10.5 mm

perfect-clones' lady date-just: diameter 24 mm thickness 11 mm

bestswiss-watches date-just: diameter 26 mm thickness 8 mm

:unsure: I am really confused, can someone please help me?

and none of them have 31 mm either, as far as I can see.

Sorry... Didn't mean to cut the last post short. Was heading out the door with the wife and son to go play in the park... Didn't have enough time to complete the full post.

Anyhow...

A genuine 179160 measures at 26mm; so the 26mm measurement of the rep is correct.

However... If you are looking for something larger, I'm not aware of any of the 31mm Oysters having been repped as of yet. If you want something slightly bigger, you could do a frankenstein 15000 DATE model, which measures in at 33mm. Basically, this would require a gen case kit, which usually sells for around $200 - $300, an ETA 2824, Dateoverlay and hands from a Tudor Oyster Prince- It would be all genuine on the exterior, but ETA on the interior.

Here is a Franken-DateJust I did using the formula above. For the money, it's one of the best frankensteins to put together.

The 33mm DATE would be the same concept.

Hope this helps...

Just measured my wife's from EL...

26mm w/o crown

28mm w/ crown

6mm tall from the surface of the caseback to the top surface of the crystal

For the Diameter isn't 26MM just the measurement from one end of the glass to the other end? It's not suppose to be including the bezel or the crown?

So if the watch is 31mm then thats only the diameter of the sapphire correct?

Am I not correct?

Nope. I measured one edge of the case to the other; excluded the crown at 26mm.
