specialvat Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 How many have you sold only to replace at a later date ? I really enjoyed my Day-Date rep: Even though it was a silix cheapo model I was pleased the rolex rehaut lined up correctly. The gen dial lined up really easy too, the hands were beyond me however But the gold was a little too much for me to pull off and I decided to move it on. I always missed it and then while looking for 1601 dials I happened across this wee beasty: Slight scratch but nothing major. So at the major cost of £18.99 inc p+p I bought it, As I ve got a date just I figured that I should get the smooth bezel version of day-date. The only dealer who has a budget version with smooth bezel is WE, so I ordered this one: As the hands look smaller than its counter parts, also the rehaut engraving seems a little better. I ll study the QC pics when they arrive as these are my main concern ATM. Both my previous gold model and this steel version suffer from awful clasps: So I ve ordered a little replacement from rafflestime on the bay: He said he can supply the clasp with the correct crown logo, but lets see what arrives I dont mind about the lack of stamps it just looks better. So hopefully I ll be good to go in a couple of weeks Just hope it goes as well as the last time, whats the bets it goes to pot. Evens I say Cheers all.

Yes, I just casually asked if he could get one not knowing if he was 'that' type of dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
