StoneP Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Last year I embarked on the journey of building an All gold Datejust 16018. http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=193280&highlight=16018 Sadly I sold it to a member over @ RWG....I hope he is enjoying it. Now I realized I miss having an all gold watch. What do I do now? Build another FG watch ofcourse! And my pick is a Day-Date Presidential 18038 & 18238. Yes...2(maybe even 3). Below are the parts I have gathered thus far Gen 18kt bezel for Sapphire crystal Gen 18kt Crown for 18200 Gen Gold dial Gen Black & Gold dial(I think might be refinished) Gen Champagne dial with Aftermarket diamonds High quality clone ETA 2836-2 (with H4 CP & HW) Clark's gold dress hands for Tudor Clark's 25-295c Rep 18kt GP mid case & case back Rep Presidential bandThe back of the diamond dialThe back of the gold dialThe back of the black dial I'm torn on which one to build first. I know for sure its the diamond dial that going to be the 18038 because of the aged dial dots. An open 6 & 9 DWO & aged hands to match the dial will make the cipher complete.Mymanmatt would probably be executing this builds. I will keep you guys posted on what i decide.

droptopman Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Nice, I still love a nicely done full gold Rolex. That Champagne and diamond dial looks to be in perfect condition. I have always been a sucker for a gold stick marker dial though. Tough choice. I definitely like the gold tone dials better than black but that is just me. Matt will make those baby's sing...Good luck on the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yeah, good luck with the project that looks like something that will be really great to wear once you get it finished. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Looks good, my preference would be the champagne dial with the stick markers, but I'm old fashioned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydenM Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Good luck with the build. My preference is the black dial the black dial DD is one of my favourite Rollies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Looks like some nice builds on the horizon!! I too prefer the champagne dial with stick markers. To the poster asking about mymanmatt, he is a member here, and you can PM him. He is the master of Datejust and Day Date builds.
