Working from home and the noticed the lights were really showing the beauty today.

Just arrived. Wow.

eStone · 3 December 2020, 05:08 AM

Wow, beautiful watches in this thread!

peacocknation · 3 December 2020, 06:43 AM

Since wearing this thing the past week or so a few immediate impressions...

1) It's heavy but in a good way! Almost makes wearing my sub or DJ41 feel like a child's toy.

2) Yellow gold is surely magical or nuclear. I mean the way the watch glows and feels on my wrist...so hard to describe but it's real.

Glad to be a member of this thread!

Your first point is very well taken. Not saying I don’t still enjoy my SS and TT pieces, but the weight of full PM watch sure puts things into perspective.

Hi everyone! A dealer is offering me this, he says it's 1803 but there are a few things I'm kinda concerned (sorry too new to post links)

imgur com/Y5Kdm3L

Looks like both the dial and the datewheel are replaced? The dial has "Swiss Made" which I don't think exist in 1803, and the datewheel font is much thicker than I usually se.. Also it comes with the hidden clasp bracelet. Is this a valid configuration for a 1803?

Here’s the image (and you can attach pics even as a new member, - If responding use the Post Reply button, resize the pic to under 293kb, and the paper clip icon to attach).

I’m no expert, but I think you are correct that the Swiss Made 1803 dial is a service dial, and the day (not date) wheel looks wrong. I believe the hidden clasp bracelet was offered on the later 1803s, though. Do you know the serial number?

You should start a new thread in the Vintage Forum to get better info, good luck!

Nowadays, can you order a 228235 RG Chocolate with minimal wait at AD? Looking to add one to my collection.

foxytimes · 23 February 2021, 05:34 AM

Incredible beauties in this thread. The DD shows off its prestige being simple but essential. It doesn't matter from which era it may come from. I personally have a soft spot for the 5-digits for the variety of dials, especially serti-ones and the variety of finishes and configurations. But the contemporary DD40s as shown (green/chocolate dial!) have their own luster and their own divine heaviness.

Like most cases, it depends on your AD and of course the dial. I ordered one late last year and was told it would be up to 3 months but I received it in 3-4 weeks. Olive green is probably not going to happen due to demand.
