~!! New DD 40, what are the flaws and can it be modded with gen day/date wheel? !!~

[greekgod]

Hi guys,

So I have been going through the 73 pages post on the new DD 40.

I understand that the day and day fonts are incorrect and the gold Rolex crown on the dial has flat arms heads as opposed to the spherical ones giving it a 3D feel.

Could anyone else tell me what I have missed in terms of flaws and also coulld this watch me modded with correct day & date wheels which I understand can be found on eBay.


Thanks.

I've just placed an order with my TD so should be with me soon, I've gone for the RG Green dial.
Yes i think the font is off on the day wheel and sometimes alignment, im looking at joining the gen outer rim to the spokes of the rep wheel and may sand the back down as a fix. guna do a tutorial if all goes well.
im not sure the crown is flat but will check when i can.

just had a little look then and the rep dial crown doesn't seem to far off GEN: http://d3nrumpzranqi9.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Rolex-Day-Date-40-Green.jpg
REP: image-cacher There are a few angles to see here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...-review-BP-Rolex-Daydate-Rose-gold-brown-dial

i think its a decent rep if good QC

if anyone can add please do so.

Saw these on Andrew's site. Looks very nice at first glance. Very nice coronet on the dial (traditionally a huge f-up). Too bad the dial texture is completely 2 dimensional... although with that being said this looks like the best DD that the rep world had seen?

it does look very far off. But to help out i did find the wheels on ebay around $60 to $100 a piece. they are white whit a modern style font. A watch worker should be able to change them out given that both watches are 40mm.

Kind of confused when reading and evaulating the DD, don't know where to place the watch in terms of rep quality - is it a very good rep or just a "good" (nothing special) rep?

Also, do you think the green dial is far off colorwise? Does the rep have a sunburst dial (doesnt seem like that judging from tt video)

U cannot put gen day/date wheels on rep because those movements are totally different. Gen DD 40 has calibre 3255 and BP has eta 2836.

Well dam I didnt know that, is there a way to replicate the image from the wheels and apply them as a decal to the 2836 ones? I guess thats more of a mod that may not be worth the time.

i think the dial on my watch is look fine
The problem is we getting more and more fussy and easy noticed the differences between gen and rep when we are more deep in rep world

I would stay away from the colored dials. (i.e) Chocolate/Green/Blue they are all far off in color. Stick with Black/White/Silver dials they are far closer to the gen color. The Rose Gold looks decent though.

Also the crown logo on the dial is way off. Well it looks it from that picture. Its flat and non 3Dish - hard to explain. Here is a pic of my gen DD40 to show the 3D of the symbol.

Another thing I noticed is the rehault engraving is quite bad. Look at how defined and sharp the gen is below.

Thats not a Noob is it? I think Noob dials look better this one looks good in the link below and I'm hoping Noob bracelet is more substantial than the BP.
