Yeah it's actually really good and that's why I chose it in the first place. It's just at first glance I didn't imagine it being so small. But it definitely looks very nice
Thanks to this amazing sub, I was able to get very quickly a very great amount of knowledge and to decide what was the best for me.
I ordered at Geektime and he was very responsive and very quick, I'm amazed because the package arrived in my country yesterday and it got delivered this morning very early.
Now regarding the watch itself, it looks amazing, I'm just a bit surprised because 36mm is actually very small, I didn't imagine that way haha. I have yet to try it on. It's very beautiful though and seeing the needle spinning is very pleasant.
Yeah that's what I was going to tell you, use an ultrasonic bath or wash the bracelet with soap, water and a soft toothbrush. Then after drying it out, use watch oil on the sides of the middle link so it it seeps into the pinholes. You'll see how much better it'll feel.
And again, this watch is beautiful. And don't mind the 36mm looking small. If Tony soprano rocked a DayDate 36mm with those wrists you can do it too.
(The gif was just so you could see him rocking the watch 😂😂)
I bought watch oil on amazon, coat like 10 bucks but from what I've gathered, any mineral oil would do the trick on the bracelet, that's why people even say Johnsons baby oil works
Just got my first as well and it’s honestly so impressive. I wanted to be different and not get Rolex’s, but there is a reason why everyone gets them. You picked a nice one. I went with the dateless sub because I got too deep in the weeds about details…turns out most of the “callout” details are almost microscopic in real life. I love the watch and I owe it all to this subreddit
I ended up with the arguably overpriced Jtime ultimate clone 114060. It’s an excellent watch by all means, but I see now how it’s probably overpriced(by like 40 USD). I’m super happy with it. Next time I will likely just get a vsf or clean.
I am and the worst part is the TD I bought it from won't respond to me either. I just need to face the fact that I might be out five hundred dollars. Such is life.
omg wow. if it's a TD, they should have some shipping guarantees. otherwise you need to blast them in this forum so that people are aware. which TD are you talking about? DM me if you don't want to share publicly. anyway hope your watch shows up somehow
Really hope he makes it right or at least talks to me. Don't have an issue giving someone a second chance but they at least have to talk to me. BTW good luck on your purchase and make sure you post pics.
Beautiful. I like the Oyster with the fluted bezel. Flashy but not too flashy if you had gotten the jubilee. What’s the official color name of that dial though?
EDIT: ah, excuse me - this is actually President bracelet. I need to learn more!
I like the small size. Classy. Old school. Understated. Doesn’t look like you’re trying too hard. Congrats.

36mm Rolex is a classic watch that will never be too small, no matter how big you are.
BPF or GMF? How does the bracelet feel my dude? Amazing watch by the way
GMF, the bracelet feels good, I just actually hear a little noise at some point of the bracelet like it needs grease or something lol Thanks a lot!

Yeah to be honest it does look good after trying it on! I just need to figure out how to adjust the bracelet haha
1.4mm screwdriver I believe
1.2 seems to work best for me, I posted a good one yesterday for another guy who was having trouble.
I just bought a set on Amazon following the advice of u/aberrantasc haha
You're probably correct 😂
Link to the particular bath oil you recommended, please?

Let it soak in baby oil for couple of hours. Then it will be as smooth as it can be. 👌
I have a genuine 2005 air king. It's 34mm. It feels small to me. But looks really good when I'm in a suit.
great choice-subtle and you can wear it everyday , better than getting an iced out nautilus as your first watch.
Yeah I'm new to watches and I like minimalist things haha

Enjoy my friend! 🤝
What you go for ?

Nice one. I’m thinking of going for a clean dateless sub soon! Waiting for my 1st rep to QC (SMP300) The sub will be next!
Oh that’s a sick watch, I was going to get on of those too…but needed a more formal watch. I have an addiction to black watches with rubber straps
Congrats ,looks authentic 😉😂😂
So happy for you, champ. Please enjoy responsibly--or not!
Thanks a lot!
Update: now I have to figure out how to adjust the bracelet myself haha
First ever rep and you went straight for the grandpa - respect! Make sure to put up a few wrist shots when you get the bracelet sized
Yessir! I'm going to order the tools today!
I am also having a hard time to unwrap the plastic haha
Just wait til you find out you missed a plastic sticker in like 6mo There are soo many 😂
lmaoo I believe you
Bezel actually looks good on this. Not too wide
Probably because it's a 36?
The other DD36 reps I’ve seen have a bezel that just look off. The same applies to the DD40 reps as well.
Beautiful watch. Still waiting on mine. It arrived at the U.S. sorting center almost four weeks ago and still not delivered. About to give up.
Yikes. You must feel nervous! I’m actually ordering 3 as my first batch of reps ever, and this is my nightmare scenario
I am and the worst part is the TD I bought it from won't respond to me either. I just need to face the fact that I might be out five hundred dollars. Such is life.

Geek time.
that is a trip. he seems to be pretty popular around here, but you're the 2nd horror story i've heard with regards to him
Really hope he makes it right or at least talks to me. Don't have an issue giving someone a second chance but they at least have to talk to me. BTW good luck on your purchase and make sure you post pics.
I would message the moderators and see if they can’t get geektime to respond
I did and no response from the mods either. Oh well, such is life I guess.
Wow, this is exactly what I’m looking for! I don’t want anything to flashy. Nice pick up🔥
Beautiful. I like the Oyster with the fluted bezel. Flashy but not too flashy if you had gotten the jubilee. What’s the official color name of that dial though? EDIT: ah, excuse me - this is actually President bracelet. I need to learn more!
The dial is silver!
Can you send me the link of where you cop?
Sure, it's this exact one: https://geektime.watch/product/day-date-36mm-gmf-silver-dial-stick-markers-on-president-bracelet-a2836/
Beautiful watch! Do you guys think this could be franken with a gen day wheel?
We’re can I buy?
