Guest carlsbadrolex Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 STUNNING! From whom did you acquire this beauty?
By-Tor Posted May 8, 2008 Report Posted May 8, 2008 I love it. It's amazing how much nicer the "polished bezel" DJ is. I've never liked the one with the "spiky" bezel. The Oyster bracelet with polished links make it perfect. Never liked the Jubilee, either. If I had to buy a DJ, I'd grab this exact same model. It's beautiful! And besides, everything on the watch looks spot on = quality piece.
Nightstroker Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 I have basically the same watch but in a DD....got it from Ruby and I love it to death.... After closer inspection of your watch I can see that your bar markers are better than mine....you actually have some lume....
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 I say again.... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
w.genzo Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Posted May 9, 2008 Thanks guys, it's my first gen I picked it up recently in Geneve, so it's truly made from "swiss trained watchmakers" Even if I also like the old stile jubilee, I preferred the new style oyster if compared to the 2007 jubilee with hidden clasp. A bit too easy to scratch, but finally a decent clasp for the DJ, and a much better feeling imho. Reps are beautiful and a great hobby, I'd never go away from it, but every rolex lover should buy at least one gen someday.
By-Tor Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Never been a DJ expert, but somehow it looked just a little bit too "spot on". Enjoy that beauty!
manuel Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 I was a bit sceptical about the watch, in the first picture I noticed that dial was genuine but I thought this was the classic game "guess what mods I have done" so I remained quiet thinking that you may have probably swapped the dial. However the crown in the clasp is bolder than I would have imagined in a gen rolex.
Heywood Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Congratulations, nice watch! Nothing better than the genuine article.
stilty Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 Nice! i was thinking gen when I first saw the pics, but wasn't 100% certain. I have that exact dial "gen" waiting for an upcoming project. what a beauty!

And you are so right: '...every rolex lover should buy at least one gen someday' The DJ start to grown on me aswell
w.genzo Posted May 9, 2008 Author Report Posted May 9, 2008 The DJ start to grown on me aswell wich rolex didn't grow on you yet, you own the whole collection from 1970-2008 already
lyndonri Posted May 9, 2008 Report Posted May 9, 2008 is the magnification different on the two cyclopses..ses..si?
lazarini Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 Congratulations mr. genzo. awesome timeless piece ... wear it well ! Funny thing how the gen dj looks and wears much bigger then the 36 mm watch ... laz
Stephane Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 wich rolex didn't grow on you yet, you own the whole collection from 1970-2008 already The Clown-Master II for sure and all the bling-blings
By-Tor Posted May 10, 2008 Report Posted May 10, 2008 funny how crown does not line up: The crown "lining up" when screwed in is one of the stupid myths, just like the 2.5x magnification on all Rolexes. My old man has 5 gen Rolexes and the crown doesn't "line up" in ANY of them. It's all utter bs. Sometimes the crown DOES line up though... but it's complete luck of a draw. I don't know where these "facts" always come from. Just like Rolexes being heavy watches, etc.

Funny thing how the gen dj looks and wears much bigger then the 36 mm watch ... laz Maybe because of my "lady size" wrist?

Can I repeat what a lot of our true Rolex fans (so called experts) are saying: Rolex Service Centers are picking up what they have handy. Could be any type of date wheel or any generation of crystal, worse, a mix of them. And yes, Rolies are light Sometimes lighter than reps like solid midlink MBKs.
stevethebest Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 DJ is the only gen RLX I would buy if I had cash... This new one is absolutely the best, silver dial is the best choice for a very elegant piece. Wear it well, friend. And since we are in this place let me congratulate also for your old style, blue dial jubilee DJ: it is an amazing replica, seeing it so close to the gen makes it even nicer ... Whom do you bought it from ?
lazarini Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 Steve regarding the blue dialed jubilee ... Might be wrong but i think he collected the parts and then Kelster help him build it Laz
