McDuck no need to apologize. You were just pointing out in good faith to me. I knew I was buying a new clean base DJ41 but with used Gen Parts. A new crown is 400 to 500usd, I paid a fraction of that.I felt extremely rude pointing out what I thought I saw about the winding crown. - I told someone off for circling something with a paint tool just last week! :O Sorry about that. I can't believe you builder didn't disclose this info to you. I don't rate his builds. But that gen dial is stonkingly beautiful for sure.

Are you just trusting that the dial is genuine, hands are genuine etc. Or were you sent a photo of the numbers/digits on the reverse side of the gen dial please?
Could I get his whatsapp as well? I’ve been trying to message there but he doesn’t replySent you a pm

What a beauty!Today received 2nd DJ41 (ordered 30th Nov 2024)
Order Spec
- Clean Base with Jubilee Bracelet
- VS Movement
- Gen Black Dial
- Gen DW
- Gen Hands
- Gen Xtal
- Clean Crown
- Xing Plated Fluted Bezel
- Xing Edge Polishing
I was really waiting for this piece and I can say watch is fabulous. The Xing Platinum Plated Bezel gives out a warmer tone and have good sharp edges, I like it alot. I seen mixed reviews on Xing's Bezel and I was anxious to see this bezel in real life, now I am at peace. Xing's Bezel definitely uplifted the Fluted DJ41 experience. To me it's well worth it.
Here is another close up pic and you see the difference in colour tone and the sharp edges of the bezel.
I opted for Patrick's edge polish to bracelet, clasp and case. This is a big wow!
In another thread someone was worried that it will be over polished and watch might looked like a used over polished watch. May I say, NO! it doesn't make the watch feel like a polished to death old watch. It makes the watch feel more Gen Like. I have an off the shelf Clean Sprite GMT with Jubilee Bracelet and the bracelet's jubilee pieces feels too sharp when handling the watch and the case edges feels too sharp when picking up the watch. Patrick's polish fixes all these problem. @derjenigewelcher said in another thread this is a freaking game changer, I have to Totally Agree with @derjenigewelcher
My 1st Grey DJ41 is still back with Patrick having some remedy work. Once it's back will update here.
For this 2nd DJ41 I must thanks @xingpatrick for building me a fantastic DJ41. Patrick had put up with me pondering him with messages and asking for updates
Just another quick wrist shot
Happy Chap here
Thankyou for your comment on another thread, your comment urged me to have the edge polishing added to my build. This extra process had really upped the watch to another level.What a beauty!

I was really waiting for this piece (was my ultimate spec DJ41 that I had always wanted) and I can say watch is Fabulous. All the Gen parts had just move the watch to another level. The beautiful sunburst black dial with perfect indexes, the perfect Rolex Logo, the perfect text printing accompany by sparkling White Gold hands and Gen like DW ( it's Gen like because it's a Gen part silly me) what else can I say . Just Super Happy!
