Rolex Datejust 36mm Ref. 16014 2813 Pics and Mini Review

[Moonshiner]

Today I want to show you guys some pics and leave a mini review on a 16014 Replica that I recently purchased from a non-trusted dealer.
It came with president bracelet, silver dial and fluted bezel.
Until now the movement works pretty well. Meaning power reserve is around 16h/ +3sek.
Never service it but gave it a tiny shot of Moebius oil to get rid of the rotor noise.
I was a little surprised as I could identify the movement as a lowbeat 2813 but engraving is missing. So it's not a dixmont somehow. Copy of a copy or just low budget version?

Don't know what to say about it.
Obviously the bracelet is completely wrong and there the datewheel is shit.
The crystal and rehaut seems okay to me.
Nevertheless I somehow like the look of this vintage style rep.

What do you guys think? Sell it asap or can I use any parts to build a Franken or good vintage rep?

That is really, really, really nice mate. I've just ordered a similar one, this:

With a sapphire crystal I would call the OPs watch a 16234, but the case is more of a 116234 case. Wear it and enjoy, if someone says something, just tell them it's a replica and see what they say.

alligoat thanks for the reply!
Maybe the pics don‘t show it very well but it has a sapphire crystal with laser crown. Just realised that the lumination is also very good.

Would love to find out which gen model it‘s inspired by.

As I said, the case is the 116234 and the dial is older- like a 16014/16234. Can't say I've ever really seen a president's bracelet on a DJ- but maybe if it was a real WG or YG Rolex DJ...
