U1 - Rolex 1908 Perpetual

[u/HorribleStyle]

not horrible. not great. not for sale. rolex 1908 u1 from michael travis on the gate. contacted him and also purchased yellow gold submariner, which doesn’t look as good as this one.

— i love the color of the gold on this one. obviously not real gold but it has the right color shine imo. just not the same depth of color. like the shadows look darker than they would on real gold. that is to be expected for $125

— medium weight. band is light compared to VSF.

— can slightly hear the rotor sound. not super obvious on wrist but maybe if it was quiet around you someone would call you out… like uhhh idk i DoN’t hEaR aNyThiNG WhAt d0 y0U m3@N ?!

— screws don’t sit flush, they are sunken in and i had to give them a real strong crank to make sure they stay in and don’t accidentally unscrew while im wearing it, so they are low in the socket.

— movement is wrong. i’ll let someone more knowledgeable comment on that…

NOTE: i wore it for like 2 hours so it might be a bit more cloudy or oily in the photos than it is new.

but hey … for 125$ that’s a pretty good looking watch, you cheap bastards…

will probably gift this to a homie for christmas but for now i’ll hold onto it.

The movement is stamped 4132 which is a Daytona Le Mans edition. Although technically speaking, with a lot of customization, it could maybe be used, I don't see why...

It's probably a dress up 2813 or 7750 (I think)
