Thanks Basque1 |

at a glance it look ok but you need to get better pics of the diamond setting, the rehaut and the band markings

Good call my friend certainly it was that way for years and is that way by the older charts most of us have. However In the last year I have seen too many with this crown on Mens and woman's Rolexes for them all to be incorrectly installed and pass quality control or as a replacement on a new watch. Likely we are using old charts and these were from solid trusted sellers we all know get straight from ad's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have researched this quite a lot for my course. Seems all TT DATEJUSTS always stamped "-" rather than two dots. This has always been the case and still is - no one knows why. I can confirm that the gold datejust is correct with two dots (and always has been). If you want, I can email you the pages from my course. Thanks adam

I just seen to many lately I have a chart like many it's a few years old now and by that your right, but look at these authentic pieces ? I am. I am not going to bet my house on this fact but I also remember a thread about this change vaguely Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think this video from the Rolex website seals that there was a change. Cheers https://m.rolex.com/watches/datejust.../magazine.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
