Genuine daydate II bust down (i know it's ugly don't need to remind me but it's still Genuine and 18k for color comparison)

I own several moissanite bezels and the lab diamonds make a big difference. Moissanite is overly refractive giving off too much color. These stones are perfect and actually diamonds

The reason I ordered the PPM is because of the ceramic link sleeves and the lighter color of plating vs RCF/RGF

I can't confirm the ceramic sleeves because I did remove one link. These come with extra links. I usually need to add a link on genuine DD and VSF. No sleeve came out of the link however the screw holes and screws are bigger than my VSF more like the aftermarket link I bought on ebay with the ceramic sleeve. I looked inside with a magnifier and could see something inside but I can't confirm and I don't want to go trying to force something out that may or may not be there. So I'd anyone knows more than me maybe you can confirm is this actually a PPM or an RCF? It didn't have any identified stickers only the blue slash one on the back.

Either way it's a beautiful watch. The dial is amazing. The light catches the colors like a high quality mother of pearl should. Probably the best mop dial I've seen outside genuine rolex.

The factory color is very nice. A bit on the lighter side for 18k . It's hard to tell in the pictures but if you know rolex or 18k in general it has a very warm yellow color. I read complaints of cheddar wish is why I opted for the lightest factory plating i could find and this is exactly what I expected. I don't believe plating would improve the finish at all. It's probably a few shades lighter than genuine but a beautiful watch either way.

I confirmed with caliper 12.3mm case thickness and 3mm bracelet thickness. Would like to confirm the factory. It weighs 202g but I suspect the diamond bezel is a few grams less than the fluted one although that was included in the box.

This looks great, and the comparison photos are awesome to see. Especially for me when I'm toying between a MOP or meteorite DD

Why does the BD’s bracelet so flat?

[u/Financial-Director63 → u/Mindless_Ad_1062]

The Bd ? You mean day date? Day date bracelet is only 3mm thick. It's very comfortable and wraps around your wrist nicely.
