Sorry, you'll need to refresh my memory - did they produce an ultra thin calibre commercially or is it a prototype?

The crown looks off center to me. Also, the blue lines look too blue.

Buy with confidence, IMO.

If you don't mind, what is the cost on that beauty?

Ah yes, the rare 'Blue Stripe' dial DD40. Case looks a bit rough yet the dial looks perfect! Any pics of the clasp?

They are only asking $22,500.00 I am not sure about the dial. I think the rest looks okay

Heck, by the time I got into eBay it looks like someone has snapped this baby up!
Hopefully the lucky buyer will be posting pictures here real soon...

Got to say that looks good but what is the depth rating on that? I would get the waterproofness checked out and then commit.

Can you take a better photo? It would help; perhaps one of the back as well!!! So far it looks pretty good.

Bloody brilliant. What an impeccable timepiece. The only downside I can see as that as it’ll show correct time only twice a day, it’s just slightly beyond COSC standards. Apart from that, it’s a jewel.

There are 86,400 seconds in a day. Marvel at the technology required to even be right TWICE!

Fake. Real Rolexes don't have the blue lines.
