Date Just II 41mm Blue Stick Dial (noob factory) Review and Tear Down

[DarthAlex]

Borrowed from the horologist dot com.

Sorry I didnt have a good crown shot in there. Will add one later tonight. The crown is a single bar (stainless or yellow gold twinlock)

That's a shame. With all the hallmarks showing a white gold version it should have had 2 dots.

This is one of the very small details they still struggle with. I have an otherwise very nice DJII with 2 dots on the crown, but no hallmarks. Guess you can't get it all...

i dont think they make any DJII in all full gold, so the markings on the case shouldnt be there. I think the factory used a case intended for the DDII model

That ^^^ is my understanding of the situation!

The crown is correct in the picture. It is a line, I checked it at an AD because I'm thinking to get one. Only if the case is white gold than you get 2 dots like on the blue sub. Seems like the wg bezel doesn't count.

Nice review, Thank You!

Yep, that's right.
Case wrong, crown correct.

Hi, I would like to buy this DJ for my first rep. Did you get it from timesshop?

 

[d4m.test]

Even after reading and studying the second release of this post, my impressions and gratitude have not changed. Very much appreciated, Alex.

Thanks, all.


Yes it came from Timesshop and is on the RWI special list.

 

[i_am_furious]

Should I get asian clone 3156 or swiss eta 2836?

 

[Spirit]

Neither...

Go with Asian 2836 CloneETA and you will be as happy as, as reliable, and yet will spend less, saving for your next watch.

Cheers,
Spirit.

The last two RWI special DJ's I received from Timesshop (and this isn't a guarantee) both came with the new super clone movement. It runs smooth and strong with an amplitude of 295-300. 99% as good as genuine fresh ETA IMO.

That makes it an even better deal!

Thanks a lot for the info...

I think its good to do a comparison of the gen and rep..
