Getting better at taking pictures...Still not as good as they could be, but maybe it's the camera I am using. Anyway, heres some shots of my SS DJ with my 1911 .45 (RIA).

And a wrist shot...

Enjoy

Thanks guys!

I presume most guys on here are using the big dog cameras, with the big lenses and what not. Mines just a little hand held, slim as the razor cell phone, Casio Exilim.

Much better this time, pal!!

Looking good!!

I really like the unique dial (is that a cream jubilee dial with arabic numerals)?

mlb · 13 April 2007, 07:54 AM

^ I think they call it ivory, but ya it is a jubilee dial with Rolex inscribed all over ( My pics don't do it justice )

Just one word to describe your DJ - Beautiful.

That's why I rock it everyday, no matter what I'm wearing!!

This may be a dumb question, but i'm not familiar ( and I was told there isn't a stupid question in school

)

But what other types of bezels are there? I've seen differences, just wondered how they are made? and what there names are?

Thanks again guys !!

Mike

montecristo · 16 April 2007, 07:40 AM

They have the fluted one (white or yellow gold) and the smooth dome bezal.

I have the white gold fluted one, looks similar to yours but different.

mlb · 16 April 2007, 07:46 AM

Nice! I thought it was fluted. So the fluted ONLY comes in WG, as to mine ONLY in SS?

Nice DJs!!!

No dumb questions here, Mike. Except perhaps the one not asked!

I know of fluted, coin-edge, engine-turned, bark, smooth and inset-type bezels. There are probably more, but that is the extent of my recollection. Chime in, folks, if you think of more!

Nice DJs!!!

Mike

This is a YG fluted bezel (mine) - it is also available in WG and RG:

mlb · 16 April 2007, 08:01 AM

Thanks prince!

Everybody hear seems very helpful, unlike other forums where you can pick up some sarcasm and flaming.

Is ' domed ' - the same as smooth bezel? IMO fluted or the engine turned defines DJ-DD.

The fluted ones are made of 18k gold and the engine turned are SS if I am not mistaken.

Domed is the smooth one.

Yes, "domed" is actually the term I was searching for in vain!

I agree - the fluted bezel just screams "Datejust" to me as well!

I believe that is correct, Ken. Thanks for the additional distinction!

When setting the time, is it ok to wind the crown backwords? Like if it is a few minutes ahead, Can I just go back a few minutes or do I have to go all the way around?
