Instant classic! I picked up a WG Day-Date recently with blue index dial and it's nothing short of gorgeous.

It really is beautiful! And prior to this purchase I really wasn't a guy that ever said that about a wrist watch. But every time I look at it, makes me feel like royalty. I really hope it never loses it's luster in that respect.

Thanks!

How do I leave the seller positive feedback since he is a TRF member?

EDIT: I left a positive thread in the who's who forum. Please share if there's another way to praise the seller. His name here is m600d.

Thanks!

Little problem here...

I have no doubt in my mind that this piece is genuine based on speaking to the AD that sold it myself and everything that was included from the sale to prove authenticity. However, I can't see the crown hologram/etching at 6 in the edge of the crystal. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Look harder! They can be very difficult to see.

Any tricks in regard to angling or shining a light on/through it?

I've tried what I can in my office and I can't see anything.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see it. I was looking at the depth edge of the crystal, not the crystal surface itself. I see it now.

Thanks!

I must be the only person which didn’t realise that these had red/black roulette date wheels; thought they were just red on white only. A great looking Datejust though, with lovely blue dial.

It took me a while to notice it on my GMT.

Nope. I had no clue either and actually told the seller I preferred black....then learned abut the roulette wheel.

At around 2min. to midnight it flips instantly and changes color. Odds are red evens are black.

[QUOTE=emt1581;9660177]After a ton of researching, shopping around, and help from a bunch of threads/replies here....It's arrived!!

It was originally purchased on 3/31/18 and the original owner said he only wore it a handful of times which I definitely believe. Came with everything including box/wallet/card/booklet/original receipt/etc. Plus it's got almost 4 years of Rolex warranty and an additional 5 years through the AD.

It's so beautiful and just shines in the sunlight! Not sure if it's my first or only, but I'm definitely loving how it looks and feels. Thanks again for the help!



Ahh the red date. What a great choice :)
