ubiquitous Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Tanks, fellers! red, LHOOQ, coolfire- I have to admit that I rather enjoy the look of the champagne day/date wheels with this dial combo. gives the watch a somewhat 'warm' feel to the appearance. I would almost equate it to a similar effect that lightly patina'd tritium markers would cast on a black matte dial. Diz- For setting the day and date, it's really not so bad I use the pseudo quick method of setting the hands to flip the date once and then rotate the hands back in reverse past 6 (18:00) and roll forward again past 12 (0:00). The date will change over again without having to do the full 24 hour cycle of hands to flip to the next date. The same method applies for the day except in reverse. Zelini- I would have to say that if the subject in your avatar is yours, then you have something far more precious and valuable than any watch could ever compare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib0rgman Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Ubi, Does the date changing method can be apply to change the date on a 1570 and how this will affect the movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielv2000 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm giving this old thread a bump. As some may remember, dvn recently put up this beautiful black Daydate for sale. I came back and looked at it constantly. We exchanged PMs but I resisted the urge for only 1 reason. I am looking for the white dial version with a foreign day wheel. It's calling out to me! Strange,but I am sure you've all been there. I've considered buying a gen Tudor which are relatively inexpensive And swapping out the day wheel for maybe a German or Spanish day wheel. Any ideas to get me started? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bardamu Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Let me just say- White dial is definitely my preference! Usually, this Rolex is really not my favourite. But I must admit that the white is... so pure ! It' beautiful. And your pics give the best of it. And with the leather strap, it's so elegant ! Congratulation !

watchgal Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hi Ubi.. I'm sorry to drag up such an old thread but hubba hubba I want! I was wondering tho, what mods did you have to make to the steel case? I'd love to put together something like this and have access to the main parts I'd need... assembly is the killer tho cos I'd have to find and pay someone. Great looking watch and really well done Oops I missed page 2... the thread got bumped a month ago LOVE LOVE the white Ubi, the watch looks stunning. Well done!

freddy333 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ubi - Have you considered a Jubilee? The strap is nice (& does a good job of toning-down yellow gold DDs' urbanity), but I think this 1 needs the semi-formality of a Jubilee.
