Just received a Rolex 118348 from Marvelous Replicas - excellent rep and the movement seems to be very accurate. I have several questions though. I have searched but can't seem to find a clear answer.

I will be getting a watch winder but in the meantime I might not wear the watch every day. If this is the case, and I want too keep the watch going, how many turns should I wind it to keep it running?? For example 25 turns will keep it running for 24 hours, or will it require 50 turns ? Thank you for any assistance.

Another question regarding watch winders. The one I've ordered has four settings:
Mode0:Winder is off

Mode1:Clockwise only:Run 2 mins,6 mins rest and repeat cycle

Mode2:Counter-clockwise only:same as Mode1

Mode3:Run 2 mins Counter-clockwise Rest 6 mins Rotate 2 mins Counter-clockwise Rest 6 mins Repeat

Mode4:Rotate 5 mins Clockwise and 5 mins Counter-clockwise,the cycle will last about 3 hrs and rest 9 hrs before repeat again see less

Which one will be best for the ETA 2836 ?
Thanks

Hello. I have been looking around but I can't seem to find the answer..

what is the difference(s) between these? Apart from the movement, I understand one is ETA & the other is an Asian movement. Any issues with the day/date font?

I would highly advise you checking with Marvelous Replicas. As you can see they got me a fabulous rep of a similar watch, right down to the microscopic crown etching below the 6 position. You have to have patience in dealing with them, and send them a detail image of what you want and always specify the case dimensions, but in the end, they get what you want. I would also highly advise you to get the Swiss ETA movement. Mine tests accurate to 7 seconds per day, which is not bad for a rep. The cheaper movements are just that - cheap. I had one that picked up 3-1/2 minutes per day!

Hmmmm.....I've looked at their Day/Date and am not impressed at all, especially the diamond ones - obvious fakes. I'd think 2 or 3 times before purchasing. And at CAN$614 it seems a bit high.

For me, putting a standard president bracelet on a 40mm Day/Date just does not look right. The watch is too big for that bracelet. They should make a separate one just for the 40.

I would certainly go with the blue dial, as the whole idea of a watch is to tell time. It's much easier to see the time with contrasting dial/hands. Second, I would highly recommend the Swiss movement over the Asian any day. They're much more accurate, and I speak from experience. It will cost a bit more but in the long run you'll be glad. The one I have is out by less than 5 seconds per day, which is excellent for a rep and very close to the genuine Rolex. I purchased from Marvelous Replicas and even before they shipped, they sent a pic of the watch being tested for accuracy.

Now, is it worth the money? I'll tell you. I own some very expensive watches and when I purchased this rep, my friends and relatives just assumed it was genuine, no questions. This is partly because this rep of the gold Day/Date 118348 is so close to the genuine, that you'd need to take it to a jeweler to authenticate. Even down to the microscopic etched crown just below the six. They've gotten so good, that it took me an hour to find it because you need a magnifying glass and position the watch in just the right light. I've worn the watch in every circumstance and it's past the smell test more than once. So for me it was well worth the CAN$500. I guess the moral of this story is that if you look and act like you can afford a $55,000 watch then you'll easily get away with it, otherwise, maybe, maybe not.

It looks just as stunning in white gold, or, stainless steel in that case should the rep be.
I've seen BP released an updated version with better day font than noob. It's my next purchase.
