The Vintage DateJust Thread

This one is one of my all time favorites

The date wheel and the white gold fluted bezel make a big difference

Second question, Do you have a source for an engraved VS3135? all the ones i ordered from aliX are sterile and only have the 3135 stamp. Even after asking the sellers, they can't provide a proper one.

May I ask why a fully engraved movement is so important for you? I mean Rolex had just solid case backs in the past so nobody can see the movement therefore.
And even if the movement would be fully engraved it will always be a clone movement and can be easily identified as a such by the balance construction which is different to the free sprung Rolex Microstella balance.

I do use these, make sure you get the 116233/116234 - this one will thread straight into the Raffles DJ case.

The 16013 crown doesn't work on Raffles case without retapping right? I guess visually they're not really that different and in any case it's better than the stock Raffles one.
