Luthier 1 Posted December 30, 2008 Just came home from the short vacations this morning, and... VOILA! My new DD arrived at 1pm. I ordered is exactly same day I left for Thailand, paid to my sweetheart Julia, who replaced Mary, by Western Union. OK, first - this mofo is HUUUGE!!! It's only 41mm in diameter, but it looks very big, see wrist shot. Quality is immaculate. I suspect ROLEX already make it's masterpieces in Guangzhou. Rose Gold/Stainless steel, silver dial, Swiss ETA, damn heavy, and very beautiful watch. I paid less than $200, including WU charges and EMS shipping. Enjoy!!!

NFleischer 4,355 Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) quite nice mate, and good deal- beautiful pix too. the non geeks would never know, but its a fantasy watch, no TT DD's. there was a 'three tone' with white, rose and yellow i think.

I like TT. Full gold is too much, SS is too simple. TT is the best dress watch, IMHO. And, no 3 tone DD, only platinum, Evergold and yellow gold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBH 7 Posted December 31, 2008 Beautiful watch. I don't understand why you wouldn't get the same thing as a DateJust so it wouldn't be fantasy. Really liking the size of that one. And very nice pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg, I guess your choice would be SS, but all SS's with smooth bezel, and it's not a Rolex IMO, fluted bezel is Rolley's trademark. So, maybe full gold, solver or black dial?

Yeah, I know - I prefer the fluted bezel too.... Only problem is that I dislike full gold (don't do TT often either) - just too ostentatious for my tastes. Decisions, decisions I got a couple weeks before my 'contacts' head back out to China, so I guess I'll have to make up my mind soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luthier 1 Posted January 1, 2009 Now I understand! Only comes in the hugely expensive model. Still love your watch. I hope they'll make Dayjust oversized soon. Damn, i's not oversized, it's medium size, compare to all 44mm-47mm watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
