condemore Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 This one from Joshua, the expensive one, not the asian 21J at 108$. This is truly 41mm, so the other post I did about another DDII from watcheden I must say it's not of a 41 mm watch. Perhaps 38mm. With this, I must report quite a number of "incidents" in transactions with watcheden. I've writem to them and I'm still waiting some answer. Going back to the watch. This one is a real beauty and, perhaps, a little excentric with the blue colors and the size, but I find it very elegant. I really like it. Perhaps the one I like more of the twelve I've bought this year. Everything is fine except when screwing down the crown. The taste is not good because the o-ring is extremely short. Here comes the pics. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Nice pictures. The color of the dial and ands looks spot on in your pics. I was worried about this because josh's pics aren't the best as usual. Looks much better in decent pics. They should hire you r someone who knows lighting to take the pics for the website. Only 2 flaws on that model: The coronet should be white gold or SS not blued and the clasp should have a hinge on the coronet to open it. This one just snaps shut. Ironically, the cheap $108 model has the proper hinge on the clasp, or at least it does in the pics. I am ordering one of these this week so I will post a review.

rek001 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Your photos are breathtaking, nice job OK, not to rain on your post but, what's are the flaws of this replica? Something weird going on with the diameter of the dial, the rehaut, retainer ring which you can see...just not a very clean presentation. Are they using a too small dial?

To me it look like a typical Folex rehaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 At least they got the rehaut engraving pattern to kind of line up and end/start at 3:00/9:00... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I could be wrong, but, in addition to the questionable blue coronet, I do not believe Rolex uses blued hands & index markers on any current model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdkno Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 I will admit up until just now I never cared for the Datejust and Day/Date style. This one is very nice looking. Just asking because it very well could be the pictures and their respective angle, on the rep the space between the black "Chapter Ring", if you can call it that, and the rehaut. It seems to be a wider space than on the gen. Again I am asking because it could be the pictures but the gen looks like there is a very small probably less than 1mm between the black and the rehaut?? Still stunning watch just the right mix of class and sporty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 They may have done that to keep the minute chapter relative to the Day window... Or possibly because they used existing smaller dials intended for the smaller DD in this larger case. Maybe both reasons? This is most likely what rek001 was getting at with her post above....

condemore Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Looking at the gen "drawing" and picture I've noticed that the neddles are fatter and angled in the gen. The general impression if the gen is of a fatter aspect, perhaps the becel is wider so the dial gets a little smaller. Another difference is that above every roman number there is a 3 small tickers in the minutes scale and the rep is 1 bolder ticker. Nevetheless, is very well cosntructed and finished and feels 90% gen. It's not heavy to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
