dave47 6,413 Posted July 16, 2017 Hi, Gang! I need some feedback from you on this watch I bought and am now in the process of deciding to keep it or to send it back. It's by SO & CO New York and is a Rolex homage to their day/date watch. Blue dial and blue leather strap. It has some nice features & the day flicks over at midnight, while the day completes its change by about 3 a.m. 39mm in width (w/ crown) 12mm thick, it wears very comfortably on the wrist. I just can't decide to keep it or not; I'm not certain if I wear "colored" leather straps and such very well. I appreciate your perspectives. dave: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WatchDog21 3,345 Posted July 16, 2017 I'm always a push over for a blue dial but I think a 39mm is a bit small on your wrist. Also, I wish they would not make their company name so pronounced on the dial, if it were more subdued I think it would look better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,714 Posted July 16, 2017 Logo is too pronounced for my taste. I am also a bracelet guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amac 0 Posted July 17, 2017 I think a lot depends on how much it was and what's working inside it. The thing that is a little strange to me is how the day font is red and the date is black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's traditional for Sunday to be red All other days will be black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimcon11 0 Posted July 17, 2017 Looks good to me. I've never worn anything colored though because I feel like I would have to make my clothing match all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TOMMO is correct regarding the RED for Sunday; the rest of the week names are BLACK. TO TOMMO: THANKS for the help. dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 79 Posted July 17, 2017 Honestly, the company logo would turn me off entirely. Personally I'd rather own a rep daydate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave47 6,413 Posted July 17, 2017 THANKS, gang, for the feedback!! I'm inclined to agree with those who believe the SO & CO name is too prominent on the dial. I suppose they want to make sure the watch isn't a ROLEX, heh! Some mates on RWI suggested a black strap instead, so before I send it back, I'll try black leather just to see. I DO like the blue dial, though, even if the blue strap clashes with my clothes, heh! dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RepGuy 108 Posted July 17, 2017 The case and many parts may very well have come from the same factories that supply the rep makers, so you might as well get the rep and the less obnoxious logo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
