MaxVCad 0 Posted February 25, 2013 Hey All, In the market for a rep Rolex Day-Date and am wondering which trusted dealer would be best for the job. I have read that BK is excellent with the more complex watches and am wondering if I should go with him on this as well. I'm also looking into getting it from MReplica. Not sure if the Day-Date is a model that sometimes needs to be tweaked by a pro after leaving the factory (eg. is BK's expertise necessary). Does anyone have any suggestions? I am a little OCD about the detail so I want to make sure to get it from the right guy. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 83 Posted February 25, 2013 The high-end day/dates (i.e. Asian clone or Swiss movement) all come from the same source, so any dealer will be able to get 'em. It's a good rep. The only way to get something better is to build a franken (i.e. use gen parts). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo350z 0 Posted February 25, 2013 Noob factory has a good one. I just orderd a daydate2 and a datejust2 from Ryan and I will let you know how they are!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxVCad 0 Posted February 26, 2013 Just ordered the Day-Date from MReplica. I hope it turns out good. $210 is expensive for a rep but from what people say, these are not clunkers that will break down in a few years time. WU always scares me too. I think I've used it about 3 times and all 3 times I got nothing in return for my payment. We'll see how it goes! Will report back with some pics when the beaut arrives.

MaxVCad 0 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Wanted to follow-up on this thread. I received the watch this past Monday. Now that I look back on the date I made this post, seems to be about a month and a half ago. The watch looks great, excellent quality. My friends who are watch fanatics can't tell the difference. I guess they can't all get through customs the first time! Edited April 13, 2013 by MaxVCad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James. 4 Posted April 13, 2013 That looks really really good with the off white dial. 41mm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
