sirdreday Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I was wondering if some of you all can point me in the right direction to purchase the best gold day date or date just with president band that is all gold? What trusted dealer has the best gold replicas that will last the longest as far as color? I know it all depends on your skin and etc. but who had the best reputation for their gold replicas? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sputim Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Mr. T aka. B.A (bad attitude/baracus) has some serious gold stuff so try him Jk..you will find what you need on trusty time but plated steel will never be close to real gold. Nevertheless, you will find good gold reps which should last quite good as long as they are plated intensively enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezio Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Since all reps are plated Steel i Would recommend buying a watch you want and buy a gen gold bracelet Then you Can minimise the removal of The gold plating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdreday Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thank you guys!! @sputim .. I just ordered a two tone from trusty time with a diamond bezel. Haven't received it yet. Now I want a all gold rep. @ezio so should I buy a gold rep watch and then purchase a genuine gold band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceocorona Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Rep gold doesn't hold a candle to gen gold. Its a very obvious difference in color and weight. Good luck affording a gen gold rolex bracelet. You're looking at 4k + for a good condition example… Thats IF you can find one for sale. I would stick to SS rep watches and leave gold to gen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 The guys over at RWI were discussing gold reps recently- the gold DDs http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=180771 you might check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Try mymanmatt he does great DD/DJ. Use a good strap and gen buckle. Here is mine gen dial crown bezel and crystal on a gen strap. Matt does great work and is a great guy to work with. He has build and modded several pieces for me. Or one that was build for my friend who likes bling. I had this watch in my hand and on the wrist and the bracelet is decent. In fact I ordered a gold bracelet for mine but do not have it yet. Weight and feel are a little off as I had a gen gold DD a few years back but it does look pretty good. Don't know about durability yet as these are new. Clasp is nice and locks good.

sirdreday Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I hope this two tone I ordered from trusty time comes out right. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Dre, way to jump out there. Nice to meet you, via PM. I like the look of this, it is---ah different, but generally folks frown on diamonds and gold All that matters is if you like it. My friend Dave would love this. That is his diamond DD pictured above. Good luck with your first purchase and welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 This gold DJ case came from Matt- it's very nice. Yuki gen DJ dial, 2836-2 clone w/ a nice white DWO, Clark hands and a luxurydeals jubilee (I think!) with 455B end pieces. I'm actually thinking about redoing this watch- smooth bezel and an oyster bracelet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikewatchestoo Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Good info. Looking for something similar any pointers on where to get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 A guy dropped about a dozen gold plated over steel mid quality DDs on me in a trade and I blew them out in a hurry (A21J movements). I have seen a few of them over the years and here is what I saw: Case plating worn down to base metal on sharp edges...lug tops and bottom edges of case. Some but usually not a lot of wear on bezel flute tips (the crystal takes most of the hits). Plating worn off the bracelets on the 12 o'clock side where they rub table tops etc (when worn on left arm). Plating worn off underside of bracelet and clasp where the clasp rubs the links. Plating worn off bracelet mid links where they rub together on the sides, usually showing black residue. Plating worn off the crown. Overall ratty appearance. A21J DD movements can develop all kinds of Gremlins. Swisseta 2834 DD movements and clones (afaik on clones) have a very thin day disc (.04mm) that can cause trouble. Most 2834 DD movements have a plastic spacer around the movement with dial foot holes in it and the spacer can move slightly causing the day of the week to not center in the window because the dial has moved...this also makes the hands appear to be out of whack. Imho DD movements in general are a pain. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=eta+2834+movement&qpvt=eta+2834+movement&qpvt=eta+2834+movement&qpvt=eta+2834+movement&FORM=IGRE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
