Hey guys, hope all is well. Can't really find much about this particular Rolex Model; Datejust 41 Two Tone Gold Dial Fluted Bezel Jubilee Bracelet 41mm (126333).

So far I have been doing some research myself. So it seems there are several factories selling the 126333. Does anyone own one? Post photos please ???????????? What are your experiences with it thus far? When you bend back the bracelet, are the center gold links plated or the silver tone base can be seen? Was a original box included? I see too many TD selling watches with plastic boxes, funny enough my personal TD I use for years always gets me the boxes at little to no extra charge. Meanwhile, these TD sites here are charging +$100 ????????

Does anyone have some insight amongst the follow factories below for the same model?

* VSF 904L VS3235 - $608 (Jtime)
* VSF 904L VS3235 - $778 (TrustyTime)
* GMF 904L SA3235 - $458 (Jtime)
* GMF 904L VR3235 - $448 (TrustyTime)
* GMF 904L GldWrp A3235 - $788 (TrustyTime)
* EW 316L 3235 - $380 (My Own Dealer)
* ZF 904L 3235 - $520 (My Own Dealer)
* DIW 904L A3235 - $398 (TrustyTime)
* ARF 904L A2824 - $468 (TrustyTime)

I find it silly for TrustyTime to sell the same VS Factory DJ41 for a extra $170. Hopefully they change the price on their site soon. This brings too much confusion in the market.

The following photos attached supposedly from the EW factory for $380 (could be a generic photo sent to my dealer). What do you guys think of it in comparison to the VSF?

My personal Dealer usually gets me replica designer items. They are not well versed with watches, I try to schooled them in as much as I can, because I get the boxes included! It could be possible the contact they found are lieing about the factory and spec (Even though I seen them with the stickers & cards sometimes from its factory). I had success on past orders for my APs.

Looks like an EWF to me. They usually use an E or EW to start their serial numbers. If it is an EWF, they are using the very cheap Hangzhou 7 series movements with deco plates in pretty much all of their models. That's a big reason their prices are low. These movements seem to be reasonably reliable but getting parts is probably not going to happen. So a failure would mean replacement, similar to what a DG2813 failure entails.

ZF did bad job on their datejust models. I would go with ARF model. VSF has terrible gold colour.

Why the VSF gold is terrible? Is it too dark or light? Or as in the plating wears off?

Why are you so enamored with boxes ? They are trash.
My thing is, I find it Ludacris we are pay hundreds of dollars and the TD here can't give us the full representation with the box. When I bought my AP with the gorgeous wooden box and papers included I felt it was more so worth the money. Those boxes alone gen are $300-$600. The box was very well made. I am not so familar with the Rolex boxes but it's a nice touch. For +$100 for a box that should be include is silly.

My dealer always gives me the boxes, so I am wondering why TD here never give them. It's like a way for them to penny pinch and make more revenue without the community knowing. My TD told me the factories provide the boxes to her automatically.

P.S. There's people looking for boxes worldwide and even selling the box off as rep sample box can mitigate more of the cost we spend on these super replicas. POWER TO THE PEOPLE. POWER TO THE CONSUMER.

You must never have touched a gen AP box. Rep boxes are all trash. Power to the consumer ? Ok....

Maybe the TDs don't supply to us to save on postage and/or to make sure the product makes it safely it to the buyer?
With the added benefit they could, if supplied to them in the first place, sell them elsewhere locally.

I can only imagine how suspicious customs would be to see a 'Rolex' or 'AP' box being sent with a watch, value $20.

I can only see wanting boxes if the rep is a gift for someone else, otherwise why bother? I'd prefer they save us a little money and offer them separately.

The presentation counts. It's not about gen or rep. I admire reps and the rep wooden ap book with booklet is very high quality. So not sure which box you were given.

I get them for free. Not sure why the TD don't give them for free also.
