dutchguy2 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Guy's, I have this Day Date incomming from a well known member, can't wait for it to arrive. I lusted for one for a long time but these are hard to get. Specially since this is an EL TW best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have one question for the experts. I just noticed this version has no lume dots on the dial. Is this correct or should it have lume dots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolojack Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi DG, Yes, it's correct and it is VERY nice!!! Case is a bit too large I'd say, but aside from that it looks great, really ! How are the clasp and the head hallmarks? That is usually the weakness of these reps. Enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Looks very good. If you want to give it a bit more authenticity, consider installing a gen crown/tube & crystal. Were it mine, since a gold bracelet would weigh noticeably more than steel, I would also replace the bracelet with a nice strap (gen or Italian aftermarket) & Rolex clasp.

rolojack Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 True, a gen crown would be a great improvement. For the strap, I'd say I'm puzzeled: yes the weight is a major problem, but so is the poor quality of the engravings between the lugs that will show once the metal band removed. The rep dilemma !!

alligoat Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I have one question for the experts. I just noticed this version has no lume dots on the dial. Is this correct or should it have lume dots? Day-Dates can go either way- most have lume dots but not all. Also hands can have kume or not How's the end link fit on this watch? I can't tell if it's a Day Date case and bracelet or a DD bracelet and a DJ case. Dial looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Good you all ask because it s getting better. Look at the clasp and endlink fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolojack Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 The end link looks just fine, but for the clasp it happens on the other side.... No hallmarks on the case, dead give away.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Haha, I understand J. Will have to wait till it gets here. Don't have a clue nor picture of the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Very nice! I briefly owned a TW Datejust, the fit and finish on these are something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolojack Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Well my friend, you know that if that was my sales post I would have shown everything !!! Anyways, i'm still stunned by the dial quality, really ! Please post some more pics after you perfected it. Best !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
