automatico Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 I bought a few cheapo tutone DJ 5 or 7 years ago for parts and after looking them over I discovered: 1...the dials are very well done, about as good as any DJ repdial I have seen 2...the cases accept gen-spec crystals/gaskets/case tubes/crowns 3...the dials originally came with two sets of dial feet, one for eta and one for Seagull ST6 (they snipped the eta feet off) 4...the hoods have tubes soldered in them with goldtone caps soldered on top like genuine, not just stamped and plated 5...22 link bracelets with screws in the removable links 6...very good stamping on the clasp 7...inside the caseback it says 'Monarch Polfy/Gelena Shitinerand SA' same as many swisseta watches from a few years back 8...the fluted bezels are gold plated over steel, not brass What these watches do not have but 'swiss' models usually will have: 1...groove cut in the case for clamps 2...ref/serial numbers between lugs 3...sapphire crystals, these are MG 4...metal movement spacers with clamps/screws, these are plastic They are the same exact cases/dials/bracelets as used on many 'swisseta' watches except for movements, numbers, grooves, and crystals. "No sapphire - only synthetic sapphire - visibility is poor etc," All sapphire crystals are synthetic sapphire although some 'sapphire' crystals in replicas are MG.
