Gotta be the coolest Datejust ever going up for auction
Posting this here really ensures that I won't be able to afford a winning bid on this anymore BUT I would rather see it go to a TRF member than someone who will bury it away. I wanna see wrist shots!
That and it will inevitably be posted anyways. http://www.hodinkee.com/on-the-block...ial-escapement Prototype one of a kind co-axial 3135!?!? TALK ABOUT AWESOME. |

Looks like the notes don't jibe with reality. I'd pass

" There are a few problems with this story, however. First of all, the caliber 3135 was introduced until after 1986, which dates this watch to after the anecdotes above. In fact, Sotheby's listing of the watch has the date listed as "Circa 1989," contrary to the explanation given in thelot notes. Some accounts place the actual date of modification to around 1996." ^this was NOT in the article this morning. It was edited in. Now I'm extremely confused... |

"The customization consists of a standard Rolex caliber 3135 with a 31 jewels slim co-axial escapement added by Daniels himself"
I stop reading after this sentence... |

I kept reading. I found it really interesting and unique. But I like Omegas as well.
