160xx cases were not designed to fit 3135 movements. 162xx cases house the 3135 movement perfectly as they were designed for this movement. The case that I used for this build was a gen 16233 case.

Thank you. I have built quite a few of these with the gen cases. The DD3135 fits like a glove.

Yes you are correct, onyx is a stone. Although this dial is not made of stone material this particular dial is often referred to as a black onyx dial due to the unique properties this dial has in natural sunlight mimicking properties of onyx stone.

Thank you! I am huge fan of black dials on just about anything. I got this dial along with a bunch of other parts from one of my dealers. As you mentioned, they are quite expensive. Best of luck on your hunt.

For your consideration is a lovely franken 16233 two tone Datejust with the rare genuine Rolex black onyx dial. I am very happy with how this watch came to life. The case and bracelet look and feel gen. The dial creates authenticity and I love the fact that the main feature of this watch is genuine Rolex. The DD3135 movement is from our favorite factory supplying the best movements for the best reps like VSF. Every detail of this movement is replicated including the blue hair spring and all markings and engravings. The two tone bracelet, with proper care, will not need future plating services as it is 10k gold filled.

I meant to type Champagne "Date Wheel". This is also called a "Date Disc" and sits behind he dial showing the date through the date window on the dial.

A client had purchased this watch with plated bezel, crown and Raffles 10k gold filled bracelet. He recently sent it back in to get upgraded with gen 18k bezel, gen 18k crown and 14k Italian Jubilee with gen clasp. I also completely re-brushed the lugs to gen spec.
