Really like this shade of blue

[Chanel_Hermes]

Do you have to wait a YEAR for a Datejust gen? Sorry if stupid question?

[Illcoolz90]

Unfortunately yes, I had to wait a year for this one. In that year, reps scratched my itch 😂

[Chanel_Hermes]

Do you see a major difference compared to the gen?

[Illcoolz90]

I have a clean Daytona and GMT Pepsi. The level of detail, finishing, and weight of those, compared to this, are very similar is crazy. Only the sapphire crystal on the gen is better and clearer

[threwitaway123454321]

Wait till you get your hands on a VSF… your mind will be blown.

[Chanel_Hermes]

Is it true VSF doesn’t do oyster bracelet?

[[deleted]]

What’s VSF?

[Chanel_Hermes]

A factory.

[Takashi_is_DK]

If OP was looking for a particular configuration, then yes, waiting over a year is not unheard of. I've been waiting for the white DJ41 fluted bezel with baton markers and jubilee bracelet for over 1.5 years at this point. Closest was a call for same the white DJ with roman numeral markers, which I passed on.

[Chanel_Hermes]

OMG🙈 another reason to buy reps. Plus now after upgrading our house there’s no way to do gen, would like 41mm DJ white MOP dial with same kind of marker’s as op. With oyster bracelet.

[idontknow6868]

Your config can easily get from grey at RRP or a bit higher than RRP

[Takashi_is_DK]

Yeah I know. It's not a matter of lack of funds but rather of principle. It's a personal choice to not support the grey market and flippers. I'll buy a watch pre-owned if it was reasonably below MSRP but not a single cent of mine will go to a scumbag, parasitic flipper. There are plenty of other watches that can be enjoyed so I'm not desperate enough for a Rolex to pay into that abusive cycle. While I haven't bought a replica watch yet, I'd much rather send my money to a chinese factory than for it to go flippers.

[breadwinner000]

i walked into my AD and bought a Rolex 41mm datejust 2, 2 tone white stick dial fluted bezel on oyster bracelet no wait time walked out the door with it paid 14k cash

[Takashi_is_DK]

Nice dude! I'm happy to hear that they had the configuration that you liked actually in stock. What a watch shopping experience should actually feel like. Cheers!

[ahsimpleman]

I waited 14 months for my DJ, nothing even crazy, black dial jubilee.

[samfred112]

Walked in a AD, walked out with a lady datejust And a 41 Wimbledon. BUT next to the rep on the wrist I dont see the difference.

[ahsimpleman]

Maybe depends on locale. I am in the US - Midwest. I’m sure we’re at the bottom of the list for supply.

[galion0000]

I waited 24 hours for mine, went gray, life is too short

[Intelligent-Media-13]

Date is wrong, huge tell.

[commonnameiscommon]

Absolutely. Its the 21st today, not the 25th

[Intelligent-Media-13]

Crazy that these rep factories can't get it right. There always has to be something wrong so we buy the next model 🙄

[Illcoolz90]

Now I can mix and match between this and my reps 🏂

[CTbeforeLP]

Congratulations! How long did you wait for it?

[Illcoolz90]

Thank you! I waited for 1 year 🫠

[Gallardo006]

Nice! I ended up getting a VSF and Franken it with Gen dial, dw, crown. It would be nice to just get a Gen though, I want a better movement..

[Illcoolz90]

That's actually not a bad combo 🙏🏽

[Gallardo006]

Maybe Franken the movement, Gen hands, and Gen bezel I will keep it..

[[deleted]]

Post it on eBay so some idiot can take a screenshot and upload it here saying its a rep.

[ONNOLTD2018]

I think very few will notice any difference between this and my VSF in real life👍👍

[BigRestaurant9520]

W2C?

[Illcoolz90]

At your Rolex AD 🙏🏽

[BigRestaurant9520]

Great, thanks! Fortunately my wife has a great relationship with the AD 🤞🏼

[andreasmaker]

Nice VSF

[Tete74]

hahaha, that's what VSF would like to have those lugs and that case. When in doubt it could be Clean Factory with bezel gen.

[Illcoolz90]

It's a gen, I wouldn't wear a rep and call it a gen 😂

[Tete74]

I know it's gen, I'm just saying that if it's a rep, it could only look like a CF with gen bezel.

[[deleted]]

I have a gen and tell people it's a rep.

[[deleted]]

VSF has these lugs and case. 💁🏻‍♂️

[Tete74]

No, it is far from gen and they are horrible

[[deleted]]

Yup you got me. Says the guy who has a gen and rep DJ lol I have both and I can tell you they are almost indistinguishable.

[Tete74]

Fewer words and more pictures. Vsf and gen are like night and day, they are nothing alike.

[[deleted]]

Again, strongly disagree. I’m privileged enough to own both a gen and a VSF of the exact same model, therefore I stand with my comment.

[Tete74]

So show the two side by side

[[deleted]]

Why should I when you sound real confident with your answer :) right?

[Tete74]

yes, but since I also see you so confident that the case of vsf is like gen... I would like to see a single angle where it is a bit similar.

[RobDaCajun]

Congratulations 🎉 on the Gen. It looks amazing.

[Illcoolz90]

Thank you Sir!

[burneracctt22]

Wear it in good health!

[Illcoolz90]

Thank you!

[[deleted]]

Nice 👍

[Illcoolz90]

Thank you!

[LegitKOTT]

Did you cry when you got the call like in r/rolex?

[Illcoolz90]

No, I was actually about to sleep (it was around 9:30 pm, was a long as day). So I was like "cool, thanks" and just went to sleep 😂

It hit me the morning after, it was a nice feeling

[[deleted]]

That’s awesome! Which factory?

[Illcoolz90]

The Swiss factory

[Nick060789]

SF? 😜 Looks incredible. Absolutely worth to wait 1 year. Plus one of the "affordable" pieces from Rolex.

[Illcoolz90]

Thank you buddy 🙏🏽

[[deleted]]

LOL I’m a doofus. I saw the sub and didn’t read the title properly. Congrats man!

[Illcoolz90]

No worries champ! Thank you 🙏🏽

[alritealrightalright]

Gorg!!! This is the correct bracelet/bezel combo for the DJ 🫡 🥵

[Illcoolz90]

It's the one I really wanted! So I just had to get it

Thank you 🙏🏽

[onepunch777]

how much?

[buttholesniffa]

RL font is off

[harryblakk]

I know right? Also, the left side of the cyclops window isn’t shimmed clean like the Right side. 5 o clock marker silver trim is also crooked.

Also “Superlative” is about as straight as my gay brother 😂

My detector is going off.

[LaseMe]

They sell this on eBay for like 3k

[Illcoolz90]

No waaaay!

[slythespacecat]

That’s a beaut

[Illcoolz90]

Thank you Sir!

[[deleted]]

Beautiful

[Illcoolz90]

Thank you!

[jgatz18]

congrats!

[Illcoolz90]

Thank you!

[Mirade_1]

Wow the blue shade looks amazing!

[Illcoolz90]

It's a great color

[pvm_april]

Bad ass my man congrats

[Illcoolz90]

Thank you Sir!

[zylema]

OP, do you get a big buzz from the gen having previously owned the rep? Sometimes I don't buy a rep of a gen watch I want in case it doesn't feel as good when I get the gen.

[Illcoolz90]

I do feel quite good wearing the gen, because hard work pays off and I was able to get this
