(oh sorry, just as back ground, i am considering the stainless steel linen dial one, not a two tone - i know you got the two tone, so just am thinking outloud/know it's not completely relevant to your comparison).

MKS Tudor Prince Day+Date 36mm
- Thread starter Kup1712
- Start date
For some ideas, I did take a look at EWatch Parts and they do sell the following:
- Stainless Fluted Bezel specifically for Tudor Oyster Date Day
- Fluted Plated Gold Bezel for Datejust 36mm (might fit this one?) ~60$
- Fluted Gold Bezel for Datejust 36mm (might also fit?) ~800$
Not sure of their accuracy though but worth some thought.

Is it me only or does the gold dial for this model from MKS look reddish/salmon, rather than champagne gold per gen?

Upon further review, I think this is a salmon dial. The other champagne dials are the textured/linen ones.Is it me only or does the gold dial for this model from MKS look reddish/salmon, rather than champagne gold per gen?

Any news? Dying to hear!I'm going to do this between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Unfortunately, my mobile phone camera is very bad, so it wouldn't make sense. There will definitely be a comparison! Please be patient with me
On a random note, I ended up pulling the trigger on a two tone silver dial Tudor Prince Date Day. Looks wonderful in person. I compared it to the "real ones" I could find online and it looks just fine to me. Maybe the gold plating is off but I don't really mind it.

Got the TT black dial, i think its worth the price, not many factory will do vintage model nowadays
The MKS in Silver is my Daily Watch. The Bracelet feels a bit light and rattles but It’s okay imo.
Every MKS day date I have seen on here has a perfectly aligned day disc. I placed an order for one from an RWI TD and both of them, which I have both rejected, have badly misaligned day discs. I would not quibble about a slight misalignment but to me this is bad and would drive me nuts every time I looked at it. Also this is on all days so is is not installed correctly and is not a misprint on the disc. The TD says this is normal with this model and I should accept it.
Did anyone else have to go through multiple rounds of QC pictures to get a good one or are they sending me pictures of lemons?

Had the same experience, had to RL twice before a good one popped up.Every MKS day date I have seen on here has a perfectly aligned day disc.

I received the first MKS Daydate I ordered today (I ordered two), a black and gold two-tone, and it is scary how close it is to the gen. They even nailed the date disc font and xtal height. Having started off my rep collection with a couple ZF BBs which look ok casually but you can find flaws and tells fairly easily if you are observant and then moving into vintage subs where I have spent more on a dial than one of these entire watches I am VERY impressed.
That's good to hear! Do you have a gen one that you compared it to?
I like the two tone, but I'm concerned the gold plating color won't match the gen.
