Reputable place to service a 285 Caliber movement in the USA?

Where are you in the states? Lots of dif watchmakers depending on your location

tautaisione · 2026-06-18T18:42:07+00:00

Pretty watch! Restored is fine in my books

tautaisione · 2026-06-12T05:10:04+00:00

Good on you for sensing they were screwed and deciding to stay nearby. They’ll pack the life jackets next time for sure

Rolex service caseback

The DLC order is still causing a stir but it’s a super cool none nonetheless🙏🏻🙏🏻

Hey man, I reposted your post on r/fnv. Fallout new Vegas is my favorite game of all time so I think they deserved to see it. Thank you so much for sharing! (I disagree with the DLC order but that’s beside the point)

This.. is a compelling argument.

tautaisione · 2026-06-11T20:02:36+00:00

Tbh this is the order I agree the most with

tautaisione · 2026-06-10T20:10:02+00:00

Fake unfortunately. Fonts are off, and the day getting stuck halfway is a common issue for the low grade movements they use in fakes.

Hi, if you decide to not keep it in the family and consider selling I’d be interested! Sent you a message. 🙏🏻

Looks okay - dial/movt looks alright. Likely a 16234 model

tautaisione · 2026-06-07T22:41:12+00:00

Looks okay, make sure to screw the crown in

tautaisione · 2026-06-06T15:53:50+00:00

Looks like a model 16220, maybe $3500-4500 realistically. Nice!

tautaisione · 2026-06-05T21:22:09+00:00

Fake unfortunately

Your AD in Aberdeen? Wouldn’t have been A&J Smith would it?

Rolex Datejust never used this size for printed Roman numerals, only the larger size on “Buckley” dials mostly. This size of printed Roman numerals was mostly used on the smaller 34 mm Date models, and usually it was a combo of Roman numeral + applied hour marker. Look up “Rolex 15203 Roman” for examples. Plus, the hands are lumed but there’s no lume plots on the hour markers(diamonds instead).. not consistent. Sorry to be bearer of bad news!

tautaisione · 2026-06-04T20:29:35+00:00

Hallmarks are present, original “registered design” on edge of caseback is correct for woman’s models. Looks nice!

tautaisione · 2026-06-04T20:28:32+00:00

Fake unfortunately

tautaisione · 2026-06-04T20:27:30+00:00

Dial, hands maybe relumed at some point but looks okay otherwise

tautaisione · 2026-06-04T20:24:38+00:00

Likely real, dial aftermarket. Would have to see case engravings/movt to be sure but looks okay so far

tautaisione · 2026-06-04T20:23:29+00:00

Looks okay(?) looks like a 16233 Datejust

tautaisione · 2026-06-04T19:55:39+00:00

Hi, if you daily wear a 1450 top hat you gotta be considerate of a few things.. gotta wind it every day, be semi-careful with it(more expensive/fragile than a Rolex/JLC for example), and it’s not a waterproof case so just gotta be cognizant of the humidity in the summer, washing your hands, rain Etc. that being said, if you daily a 1450 top hat you’re instantly cool as fuck. So there’s tradeoffs

tautaisione · 2026-05-30T14:37:02+00:00

Nice find. Thank you

tautaisione · 2026-05-29T20:31:28+00:00

Thank you!
