Title: Datejust differences...
Post by: terrenceterrence on August 10, 2011, 05:29:46 PM

hi bros,

need help with some DJ questions.

there seems to be so many differences in reference and also movements (QS and non QS)

so hope that you guys can clear up my troubled mind. can't seem to pull out any answers of these question from the net.

1. when was the dauphine hands last used, which year was it used and what model numbers was it?
2. what year did they stop using acrylic crystal on the DJs?
3. which year did did they start using QS calibre on the DJs? and did they change the reference numbers for it?
4. was there ever a QS + acrylic DJ?
5. are there any dial variations specific only to each reference numbers? (linen, teck, pie pan)
6. how to determine that each part (bracelet number, dial, crown and etc) is correct with the reference and year?

thanks in advance

cheers  :)

sorry just found that on the net.

answers for my question no. 2,3 and 4

so any caveats and details i should look out for if i were to buy S/S 16013?

e.g. how to determine a replacement dial...non original bracelet numbers...replacement crown and etc?
