[MENTION=95451]Rolexx[/MENTION] how do you find them mate? Worth it to buy or not really? I'm skeptical about the whole thing and reports of the lightness and flimsiness.

Mine finally came back. No more dirt inside the crystal and a nice and tight clasp. I will post pics today :)

I think it just depends on what you can live with. Yes the bracelet is flimsy, but that has been true for all these models except the wrapped versions, and I wear my DJs and DDs tight so it doesn't bother me. The day wheel could have better alignment, but I don't find it too grating. The dials look great in my opinion and so does the bezel. So it just comes down to what you can live with. I recognize these will never be super duper perfect and I'm okay with that. I'm happy with my purchases so far.

Well said bro. It all depends on what you can live with.

I just received the smooth bezel platinum version a few days ago. Amazing watch, bracelet feels good as well. It was fun to play around with a bit but I put it up for sale. It's a bit too small for my taste.

Just send a photo to your dealer of choice, specify day date 40 and what movement you want.

It may vary by a few dollars but I'm seeing them at 288 for Asian clone and 328 for Swiss eta plus shipping.

I recommend asian clone.

You didn't gave the day wheel replaced for correct font?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No I couldn't find one that would fit for the day wheel. I do have a date wheel that I bought to swap but I couldn't be bothered to do it be honest.

My date wheel isn't that badly aligned and I'm seriously thinking of selling this watch anyway. I'll save the date wheel for another build.
