Datejust 41 - my first super clone, blown away

I've owned two genuine Datejusts over the years. Sold them when times got tight. Missed having one on my wrist. Decided to try a super clone after reading posts here. The fluted bezel is what got me - it catches light exactly like my old genuine one. The jubilee bracelet drapes perfectly. The sunburst dial shifts from silver to almost white in direct sun. The date change at midnight is crisp. The cyclops magnifies properly. The crown screws down smoothly. My wife, who has seen my genuine ones, couldn't tell the difference. That's all the validation I needed.

Great write-up. I have the same model and everything you said about the finishing is spot on.

I compared mine side by side with a genuine at a watch meetup. Nobody could tell.

I was skeptical about super clones for years. Posts like this finally convinced me to try one. Ordered last week.

How is the lume holding up after a few months? That is usually the first thing to degrade on replicas.

Retired as well. The research process was half the fun. Enjoy the watch!
