BP Rolex Day Date Ice blue / SS few thoughts and pictures

Recommended Posts

purger72

My first Rolex rep purchased from PC.

Was never in to Rolex watches but recent new addition and styles from Rolex spike the thoughts that maybe I should get on or maybe two...

So anyways got Day Date 40mm that arived yesterday.

First impressions. ... well .. I like it , it is nice dress watch for sure.

One thing for future buyers of this model bracelet is quite shorter than other reps I purchased.

It cross my ming " did Josh resize bracelet for me " lol of course not but my wrist is only 6.5" and I had to take off only two links, usualy at least 3.

Links are narrower to comperd to like omega ....

So guys with bigger wrists may need some extra links.

Quality wise this rep is relly well made , very impressed.

Here are some photos.

Love the DD40 I've got 2 now. Did you know when ordering that the gen with this dial configuration only comes with smooth bezel?

The extra link thing makes me a bit concerning. :(

My submariner suits perfect with length I bought it from Andrew,

but it was also shorter than the Pams or Breitling watches I received.

Looks great mate.

The length has me concerned. WM, what size is your wrist? Will these fit a 7.5" wrist?

 

I think I need all three of these color combos, I cant make up my mind which to get first!

Picked up a smooth bezel ice dial ss, I thought the BP came with the crystal etched emblem at 6 under glass? I know there hard to see but I've tried light angles and a loupe lol, Popped bracelet off and no numbers under lugs , any thoughts

Crown is there. You have to really look hard under magnifier on near flat angle to the crystal. It is like water mark on the money notes . But harder to see.

Exactly, also note quite sure why you might want a serial number under the lugs....

I presumed when I removed the strap to clean it there was engraving on the watch round section,between strap pin holes,

I don't know a great deal about rolex but had to have the daydate as the dial in particular is stunning and I presumed rolex had stamps there

I contacted you for advice august when I think you was awaiting yours

On the gen it is probably the case, halmarks should be on the back of the watch. Although yours will have the "gold" hallmarks, even though it is supposed to be a platinum hallmark, but I couldn't tell you the difference to be honest!

Who looks behind the strap anyway, but they get them virtually perfect and miss a trick or to thankyou

Did you order one, how is it size wise?

I have asked Andrew to include 2 x extra links on my order.

My wrist is 6.6" took two links off but may put one back.

Watch size is perfect at 40mm . I suggest anyone with wrist over 7" to get few extra links just in case.

My preference is the smooth bezel version. Saw one on RWI last week and it looked amazing. I was considering getting one but then saw the gen is over $40000 so it will have rep written all over it.
