Who has the best Day Date II Yellow Gold with Diamond Markers?

[barsmars]

Please help me decide which of these 4 Rolex dealers to go with

Hi Everyone,
So after a days worth of research I have lowered my choices down to these four sellers for Day Date II with Diamond Markers in Yellow Gold or Rose Gold or Roman Numerals.

This is actually what I am after: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/45/bd/f3/45bdf385aafbd1df1bd9e3dcd849cc81.jpg but will consider https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/41/9e/43/419e433afc7cb962c3373b64bcc3abc1.jpg

TSWatch http://www.tswatch.club/18081-ro18081-day-date-ii-41mm-gold-dial-full-rg-a3255.html
InTime http://www.intime.co/rollie/1106-day-date-ii-yg-gold-dial-diamond-markers-on-bracelet-a2836.html
PureTime http://www.puretime.watch/product/day-date-ii-everose-gold-rose-gold-dial-a3156-best-edition
Marvellous http://v.yupoo.com/photos/mrwatch/344922630/


I'm actually looking for a gold or rose gold and only pureTime and TSWatch seems to have rose gold. With Canadian exchange rate that's close to $500 :O
I can't decide between these four. I did not see it on Marvellous's album for the full yellow gold / rose gold but I am guessing he may have it.

Out of these four, could you guys help me decide on which one has the highest quality materials and craftsmanship? I'm very OCD when it comes to reps. I would also want the finish to be very legit and last long.
Thanks in advance

Anyone?

Best price/quality relationship is the Intime one.
Does it really have to have (fake) diamond markers instead of nice lume or roman numerals?
The plated gold is ok but not ideal for a daily wearer, more for an occasional or weekend watch.
You might consider the white stainless steel model Datejust I or II or the recent Yachtmaster in blue with a red seconds hand.

Thanks for your reply! It doesn't have to have the diamond markers. I'm also considering this one: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/41/9e/43/419e433afc7cb962c3373b64bcc3abc1.jpg

I would not wear it daily. Maybe 15 hours a week total. Being a female, I just can't get to liking the stainless steel models just yet. I've always loved gold and rose gold colours. I wear black and white daily and I feel gold would just suit me much better.
I also saw some on TSInternational. What do you think of their watches?

Thanks again

They are all junk. Just build a Franken with gen parts. The yellow gold on the rep case and bracelet will never be right either.

Thanks, You´re welcome. I´d favour the DJ1 in 36mm size, one of the 116234 readymade models from Intime in the $238 version.
The personalized "best" ones that have some gen parts but are in the $700 and above range, handbuilt from MymanMatt - in my opinion You can always upgrade to those later as it requires study, reseach, knowledge etc. and You only get this when having something to compare it to.
The brown one with the roman numerals You can send a picture to the dealer and he will see what he can get closest to it.

Chanel J12, Cartier Ballon Bleu, Tag Link and Omega Ladymatic are other nice choices, also the ladies quartz Audemars Piguet 33mm with or without diamonds, the latter is a thin and very well made watch if it´s Your style.

Thanks I will look into that. At this point I think the price is attractive under $300 (the price of an ugly MK watch lol). In the late future, I may consider a Franken from MymanMatt. Thanks for the suggestions on the watch choices. I will keep a note of them for future purchases. Right now though, I am in love with this style rolex. I want to make a decision ASAP and can't wait to get it. So much that I considered buying a vintage pre-owned but again, $300 is just that much more exciting when you think about it.

Could you please let me know where you suggest I buy the watch in your picture? I also wanted a gold model but since I want a daily watch, it makes more sense for me to go with white stainless steel.

Hi and welcome to rwi. If You go with Intime and select the asian ETA version it´s fine, somewhere around $240 plus shipping, as mentioned above the 36mm model 116234 might be a better choice (if not too small) and the blue Yachtmaster an alternative. At these price levels imho there is no need to give it too much a thought, it´s a very well wearing, fully functional and uncomplicated, reliable watch. Have fun around.
