Hey guys
Have been doing some reading, a read many years ago, there was a super rep of the rolex day date all gold but not anymore.

I find all gold and two tone/diamonds a little two flashy for me.

I am unable to find a thread/comparison of a SS/non gold model discussion to see how accurate it is/what flaws it has.
So my questions are:

1) is there a day date rolex non gold version that is considered a super rep /not worth buying genuine
2) what is the closest one current on the market of non gold version and what flaws does it have?

Many thanks for your input
Love to hear your thoughts

Yes the wm9/twbest daydate. But these were only produced until about 2007 and are very rare now. These were 5 digit reps. The best 6 digit daydate is the bp but it is not a super replica for many reasons (crown and bezel too big, clasp markings, day and datefont, case dimensions, rehaut engraving, weight)

Here some pics of mine. Same watch with different bezels.

As @gamba66 has said the TW Best/ MBW/ WM9 is the best 36mm DD rep. This is the one that I now own. TW Best on top, gen on the bottom:

This being the BP
Have you looked in the noob version?
I read the 'Saturday' date front is meant to be main issue with spacing.
You know of any other errors please so can compare with this BP model.
Thanks

The lesson here is the difference between a datejust and a day date that shows the day of the week on the top of the dial. The Daydate has never been in stainless steel. A precious metal replica would be ridiculously expensive and fake gold or platinum never look right.
Besides a genuine precious metal Rolex would be over fifteen thousand used.
Do you look like the guy who can afford a fifteen thousand dollar watch?

What I'm saying is enjoy your rep Daydate but if you are going to mod something or get a superrep look for the datejust.
Don't spend a ton of money trying to get the most convincing Daydate.

Beirut, Lebanon
Day Date is available in both white gold and platinum
both are SIMILAR (didn't say identical) to SS in terms of color
so an SS DD can pass as white gold or platinum

Is there a SS datajust super replica you are aware of? Thanks
