Do not pay extra for gen ETA movement - you will probably not get it. Clone 2824 or 2836 are very good and sweep the same as gen.
There is no "same as gen" rep watch. Period. If you want "same as gen", then buy a gen.
The DateJust reps are very good. Any of our trusted dealers (found in the Trusted Dealers section) can get you what you want. Ruby has been one of the key suppliers for Rolex, but any dealer can get it.
I suggest you do more reading and use the Search function before you buy.

Thanks friend, so I will buy clone... that is good advice...I was thinking about that !
I know that there is no same as gen but I am afraid to buy replica of a replica.... I just want watch which I can wear every day and that it will keep time, and with all details on case and dial...I am ready to pay extra to get it :)

Rep gold plating is not very good. The color will be off, and I don't think you'll easily find the Jubilee bracelet in two tone.
You should either stick with an all stainless steel model, or talk with BKLM to see if he can get you a nice WM9 model which will have gold that is passable.
You can find BK here:
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/forumdisplay.php/bks-repertorium-75?s=&daysprune=&f=75
Send him a PM with that picture and see if he can build it for you. It will take TIME, if he can do it at all.
Also, send the pic to Hont and see if he can get one with a good bracelet. This will be a cheaper model but still very nice. You can find Hont here: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/forumdisplay.php/hontwatch-87?s=&daysprune=-1&f=87

Good luck!

i just bought one similat to the one you like,and i can tell you imo that 2 tones jubilee is not the best idea,if you find a nice brecelet it will be ok.
i suggest you to buy a SS for everyday use or full gold plated for wearing ocasionally
but it's all on you
good luck! ;)

All good advice here. Ruby is one of the best for getting Datejusts. I would suggest that after you get it start trolling eBay for a gen bracelet or pay around $250 to $300 on eBay for a 14k gold link DJ style bracelet and swap the Rolex clasp. That's the only way to get a decent bracelet that the plating won't wear off.

i suggest you to buy a oyster 2 tones brecelet,it's better then jubilee on rep,and buy a gen jubilee if you want to have the 2 tones to wear everyday
or buy a cheap rep just to test the plating or send the watch to do a good quality plating

No - there is not until you receive the bracelet.
Sending the rep bracelet for plating will be very expensive because it will have to be taken apart and re-constructed. The Jubilee bracelet has many many parts in each link. It will probably be cheaper to buy a gen two-tone Jubilee bracelet used from a dealer on eBay. But only buy from a reputable dealer - preferably an AD.

Or just forget that watch and do something in all stainless, like the DayDate (4th from the left):

The more flashy and unusual your watch, the more people will think it's a fake. A simple DateJust in all stainless with stick markers can be bought for @$2500 so it's not out of reach for most people.

yes, you are right...I do not want something flashy...to tell you the true...I would buy gen for 2-2,500$ but if I want to import it to my country I would have to pay 2000 for custome duty and custome papers...we are on the 3rd place ( country with big tax) in the world...so you see dilema :)

What country are you in? That could make a huge difference in which dealer you should use.

You may want to post a new thread called "Croatia Customs?" and ask if anyone knows how tough they are.
But if they are very hard to pass, as with many EU countries, then you may want to order from Precious Time or Narikaa - they both ship from the UK and not China. Packages coming from the UK are typically not inspected as closely as those coming from China.
Good luck!

I know Croatia is not an EU country - I said I don't know if Croatia Customs are very tough as are many EU countries.

Satmaher - If the watch is going to be on a boat, be sure to get it tested for water tightness by a watch smith first. DO NOT believe the waterproof claims of ANY dealer. And if it's going to be around salt water, avoid the rep gold plating at all costs.
