Hi all,

Looking for some help. I'm a Rolex enthousiast en have done a lot of reading of various models for myself. My mother likes Rolex too and I want to buy her a supprise :)
She really like the Mother Of Pearl dials.

Can somebody give me some advice? The most important is the reliability of the movement +jubilee or president bracelet.


Size must be under 40mm

These are what i have found:

DateJust 36 SS 126234 GMF Best Edition 904L
https://puretimewatch.io/datejust-36...let-a2824.html
Dial looks like no pearl?


DateJust 36 SS 126234 EWF A3235
https://puretimewatch.io/datejust-36...let-a3235.html
Is this a good movement vs A2824?

Datejust 31mm 278275 SS Crystal Bezel BP Maker
https://chazingtime06.co/products/da...ial-crystal-ss

What would be the best choice, or maybe someone has some other ideas?

Thanks a lot for helping!

EWF is not a top tier factory. Their movement is a cheap DG2813 *decorated* to 3235 (read the specs).

BP/GMF are partner factories, both will be roughly equivalent. BP is usually 316L, GMF usually 904L.

BP President and jubilee bracelets can be trouble.

BP President

I would go with GMF - look the watch up on other sites like Trusty or TSwatch (non-TD). I'm confident you will find the dial to be great. Pay for the better 2836 or 2824 movement if a choice is offered.

Another suggestion/idea: if they like MOP dials and are open to a brand other than Rolex.... look at the Omega Aqua Tera.

My wife loves MOP dials and I got her that as a gift and she adores the watch... high quality bracelet, finish, movement etc. overall just a wonderful rep.

Here it is.

I’ll snap a photo when I get home from work. But they look great! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality - I too had reservations about the purchase...but I think VSF did a nice job. You won’t be disappointed.

My opinion: Go with the “diamonds”!!! She’ll def upgrade you from a handy to a blowie, might even throw in some butt stuff.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but have you gotten the watch for your lady? I'm also looking at 36 DJ MOP from GMF but would love to see any pics from users. Thanks!

I just went with a omega for my wife, mop dial looks great (constellation gf 25mm quartz)

If someone cop a rolex with mop dial please post pics, I'm interested to cop one for her as well.
