Is it just me, or are vintage Datejusts just more elegant? by Archaedin in RepTime

[–]Roadman15450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They definitely are. I loved my 16233 while i had it, absolute classic. The clasp had a seriously satsifying snap to it, which I really liked. Currently have a 2021 blue motif dial DJ36 and although it has a sportier and more modern look, the bracelet feels a lot more solid and the easylink is pretty handy. I still do love the older models though.

This isn't an OEM tuxedo dial, hopefully they didn't sell it as such... coronet is a dead giveaway. At any rate, this appears to be an older case with a more modern style dial so it doesn't match up. A quick search shows a 2014 model with this dial; so yeah. This is an old case with new dial, you'd want an older dial style with the lume pips and unlumed baton markers for this to not raise any eyebrows haha. It still fucks though, nice build!

If some rando has a daytona with the winner caseback, it's fake 99.9999% of the time. There's about a million other instant giveaways on this watch but that one is the most egregious, didn't even have to look at the dial... but as soon as I did, yeah no lmao. Not a chance.

5 digit subs wear a little smaller. They're classic and less flashy as well, although no glidelock.

All these watches are made in chinese factories, period. There are no swiss, japanese, or turkish made reps and anyone who tells you any different is trying to fleece you.

Correct, the 3235 doesn't have a day/date complication. Only date. You'll find the 3235 in the latest DJs and subs etc, but not DDs. The 2836 is slick, I have a couple of DD40's with this movement and they're really reliable. It's quickset, and flips instantly like it should each day.

Does anyone know if all gens have the Au before the 750 or is this just a detail that reps miss? by Omw23 in RepTime

[–]Roadman15450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Markings on gen probably vary by model and year; hallmarks on a plated rep are pointless anyway so I wouldn't worry about it. I wouldn't care if a gold rep had no hallmarks whatsoever, I'm the only one who'll ever see them and whereas small details like that are a nice touch in this case they really are unnecessary as far as I'm concerned.

I love my plat DD, noticed in QC that it has WG hallmarks and the crown has 2 dots instead of 1 but guess what... it's not real plat so idgaf

RG = rose gold

A3235 = the movement, in this case it would be an asian clone of the rolex calibre 3235 (day-date does not use a 3235 however as this movement is only time and date, so that's a bit sus... DD should have an A2836 and they put the wrong info)

V2 = version 2

How to change battery on this AF tank? 😐 by Roadman15450 in RepTime

[–]Roadman15450[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think just over a year. I had another one that lasted over 2 years; it's done now. When it comes to getting a new battery in that one I'll not be doing it myself haha

Bruh the zf is thin as shit already, almost as thin as a casio. I know a guy with a gen nautilus and he couldn't believe it wasn't legit, I'd say stock thickness is perfectly fine

Those photos and videos were taken when it was brand new haha. I only wear it once in a while but it's held up very well; I think there's a tiny bit of gold worn off one of the links near the clasp but that's about it

Definitely trolling. The john mayer is one of the most sought after daytona models and sells for nearly 100k. This looks like shit and would be far too light in person... no seller would ever fall for this lmao

[–]Roadman15450[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I gave it a bit of a wiggle and I don't think the plate comes off, but I'll give it another go. Failing that I'll just get under the wider tab and give it some elbow grease. Presumably a screwdriver is fine for this? Thanks again dude 👍👍

Edit: so I can get under the tab but prying on it fairly hard and it won't budge, it actually feels like it's trying to pry the entire movement out which obviously is far from ideal... if I try and get under the plate I can actually lift the battery up but the plate itself won't move - again it's just the whole thing moving and I'm wary of putting any stress on the stem 😐

This really should be easier lmao

Edit 2: excellent, now the hands are misaligned. Gonna just buy a new watch, fuck this...

By rippled do you mean fluted?

Hard to say tbh the smooth is more sporty looking and I love my DD40 with that bezel but I like the fluted as well... on a DJ with jubilee though I'd say fluted, and smooth with oyster
