gioarmani Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 This is my fastest arrival to date: I ordered this piece from Josh, for my girl, and it shipped the 5th, from Guangzhou--amazingly enough it arrived on my door in Florida this morning at 10:00 AM. Outstanding service! And an outstanding piece. Already running perfect ETA 2671-2, siliconed & polished, dressed and ready for our 1 yr aniv in 3 weeks. Have a look: And for comparison, here's a gen 79174 from the Bay: The smooth bezel, SS, ladies Datejust on an oyster--especially with the basic Roman dial--is my favorite womans watch that Rolex makes. Well made, classic, minimalistic, not pretentious, and universal to almost anything she wants to accessorize with. She liked this piece in my AD a few months back, but rolled her eyes as to why anyone would pay that much for a watch, but she loves to sit & watch me tinker with these things, so I'm sure she'll get a kick out of it.

Jkay Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 You mention polish .. what gear do you use to re-polish your watches to such perfection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) You mention polish .. what gear do you use to re-polish your watches to such perfection? Actually, on this piece I just did a little on the brushed parts with this cloth: http://www.amazon.com/Pierce-This-2-Polishing-jewelry/dp/B0007OEZ9G/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&s=jewelry&qid=1251584787&sr=8-21 When I need to buff out the actual polished parts of the case, I use a 6" bench grinder with this wheel & white rouge: http://www.amazon.com/Woodstock-D3189-6-Inch-8-Inch-Buffing/dp/B001UE7JDG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=industrial&qid=1251655865&sr=8-1 Edited August 30, 2009 by gioarmani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gplracer Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Very nice. did you get the box from Josh as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Nice! I got my wife one of these for our aniversary too (except black dial). Very nice piece indeed. She loves it. Of course I wrapped it up with a little something for me too..... a Breitling Super Avenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Nice pickup gio. Shame, but I notice they still haven't addressed that glaring DW font on the ladies models. Suppose you could always pick up a gen. c.22xx DW and use as overlay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Very nice. did you get the box from Josh as well? Lord no--my boxes have only been gens. Rep boxes, especially the Rolex ones are a joke. They're not even the right shades of color. Nice pickup gio. Shame, but I notice they still haven't addressed that glaring DW font on the ladies models. Suppose you could always pick up a gen. c.22xx DW and use as overlay. Where does one find one of those?
