Hello,

Currently looking at a Dayjust 16233. No original box or papers. Has been certified by "GemWorld International" (see below).

Has anybody had any experience or seen a certification from this company before?

Notice in the comments section it reads "dial and sapphire crystal are aftermarket components". Also notice the bracelet's description is more detailed with the bracelet # included, as opposed to the movement's description which doesn't mention "calibre 3135" for example.

My concerns:

1. Wondering how much reputation this company has on watch certification and how thorough they are in the process.

2. How much impact a third party certification has on value?

3. How much impact the aftermarket parts have on value?

Thanks in advanced.

There's enough information there to tell me to keep looking.
