What is the difference between a ladies Rolex Date and Rolex Datejust wristwatch?

My girlfriend has a non-quickset Rolex Oyster Perpetual “Date” wristwatch, and she wants to replace the dial.

What is the difference between a ladies Rolex Date and Rolex Datejust wristwatch?
Is a Rolex Datejust dial interchangeable with a Rolex Date dial?

rmahadevan answers:

The difference is in how you adjust the date. On the Date you have to wind to hour and minute hands until you get to the right date, but on Datejust, you can adjust the date alone.

The Datejust is also a bit larger (only 2 mm).

So from what I can tell, it is not interchangable

Charles asks…

I am going to look at at Rolex Datejust for sale locally, I have seen photos and it looks like a president?

I am going to look at at Rolex Datejust for sale locally, I have seen photos and it looks like a president style bracelet. Since it is all silver in colour, am I right in thinking it will be white gold or platinum? I understand they never did a stainless steel president but could be wrong.

rmahadevan answers:

Is the Rolex that you are interested in new or pre-owned? And to clarify, are you considering a Datejust or Day-Date (a.k.a. President)? In addition to the date located at the 3 o’clock position on both time pieces, the Day-Date has the weekday between the 11 o’clock and 1 o’clock position.

A silver colored Datejust is either going to be stainless steel, stainless steel and white gold, or white gold.

If it is a pre-owned Datejust with a President bracelet, the previous owner could have had Rolex upgrade with a genuine Rolex white gold bracelet or the owner may have bought an aftermarket “President”-style bracelet, which could be either stainless steel or white gold.

A silver colored Day-Date (a.k.a. President) is either white gold or platinum. No stainless steel model.

Helen asks…

Where can you buy a band for a rolex watch?

I have a rolex datejust and the some of the links have cracked from age and daily use. Where can I buy a new band for it?

rmahadevan answers:

Only at a reputable jeweler who is an authorized seller of Rolex watches. There are many phonies out there selling fakes so be careful.

Sounds like you have a watch that carries alot of sentimental value for you (and a classic one too).

Is it possible for Sephora employees to give samples (specifically perfume) without having to purchase?

Is it possible for Sephora employees to give samples (specifically perfume) without having to purchase? I am curious because I want to find a new fragrance and would like to see how a few work with my body chemistry and see if they last throughout the day. I will be shopping at Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga, ON if that helps!

TY!

rmahadevan answers:

Yeah, of course! But ask for it when you’re buying something because they’re not so nice if you just go for the samples, so to speak. Also, you can try like any perfume out in the store! Have one of the associates to help you choose a perfume and then just ask fro a sample!

Also, Sephora has a very good return policy… They stake used items back. I bought this face wash from there once for like 28 bucks and I didn’t like it (after using it once or twice) so I brought it back for a full refund!

Good luck:)

I think you should go to a Sephora store and talk to the manager

How often does Sephora change their free samples?

I’ll admit that I sometimes buy things on Sephora‘s website just so I can get the free samples. The ones they have right now, though, kind of suck. When will they change them up again?

rmahadevan answers:

I don’t know if you receive the newsletter but I get one from sephora almost every week and I think that they also change the free samples every week , if the don’t change it weekley at least I think that it is every 15 days.

How can I get more Omega 3 fatty acids in my diet without eating fish?

I’ve read that getting more Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet is good for you. Even though I’m a vegetarian, I don’t have a very healthy diet. I’d like to change that and try to better my health.

Are there any alternatives to fish that I can try that are vegetarian friendly?

rmahadevan answers:

No, not really. You can get eggs that have some omega 3s but that only works if you eat a very large number of eggs. Some seeds including flax and chia seeds contain ALA omega 3 fatty acids but not EPA nor DHA omega 3 fatty acids. While ALAs are nice too, they are only 10% converted into the other omega 3s so you’ll still be short on some omega 3s. Your best bet is fish oil. If you’re morally opposed to that then I think there are algae or bacteria based omega 3 supplements but I’ve never seen who sells them, so start hunting.

Even though omega 3 eggs come from chicken fed flax, they convert more of the ALA into other omega 3s.

Sharon asks…

What are the advantages of Omega 3 from sage oil compared to fish oil?

Is omega 3 from sage safer than fish oil? Does sage oil contain PCB’s?

rmahadevan answers:

Plant based omega 3′s do not have EPA or DHA, they have ALA. EPA & DHA are only found in cold water fish.

Omega 3 & Omega 6 fatty acids are only found in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA’s) I do not recommend PUFA oils. PUFA’s are fine in whole foods, but the oils are fragile & oxidize (go rancid) when exposed to air & oxidized oil creates free radical damage in the body.

I recommend eating whole foods only whether it be fish or chia seeds.

Charles asks…

How does Omega 3 6 9 vitamins help post partum depression?

I heard that taking Omega 3 6 9 helps with post partum depression.
I was just wondering if it really can help?
And how it does help?

rmahadevan answers:

Taking omega 3 supplement may help PPD. Omega 3 is an important supplement to get in diet and americans often do not get enough (plant, nut, fish oils). The body does not make omega 3 oil, but it’s critical to brain health and operation, as well as cardiovascular and joint health. It helps to relieve inflammation. The studies show mixed results on whether it seems to help depression and PPD. It seems that it helps best when an antidepressant is the main medicine.

Laura asks…

how much is the Longchamp Le Pliage at the boutiques in Paris? Is it cheaper in Duty Free airports?

My husband bought Le Pliage Handbag Medium at Nice,France around 58Euro (on sale with tax) and he saw it also at Munich Duty Free which cost 59Euro. So I wonder how is the original price.

rmahadevan answers:

Medium sized Longchamp Le Pliage is 58€. And that’s the regular price everywhere in France, whether it’s Paris or Nice. So it looks like your husband got ripped off because as I said 58€ is the normal price, it was definitely not on sale. Large size is 72€ and small size is 48€.
You can check on the Loncgchamp website (link below).

Weekend Pass (be prepared to buy your tix the moment they go on sale)
Car Camping Pass or book hotel now if you want to go that route
Rental Car to get you from the airport or shuttle (but having your car will allow you to sightsee)
Camping Stuff
Plenty of food on site
No beverages allowed in the festival itself
Alcohol inside the fest is restricted to specific areas

You’re basically going into survival mode for a few days so be sure to bring what will keep you most comfortable. Definitely prepare for heat. It’s a great festival in an amazing setting and I highly recommend you making the trip!

Is there such a thing as a limit to winding mechanical watches?

I have a 25-yr-old mechanical/manual Longines watch (on loan from mother dear) . I read on the net that you’re supposed to wind it clockwise(away from you) but my mom said a combination of clockwise and counter should be ok as well. I started using it last Sunday but every since yesterday,I noticed that it stopped when my winding should be good enough for 17hrs ( per my observation over the weekend).So I tried winding again but noticed that the clockwise winding seemed to be tight already only after 1.5 clockwise wind.So what I did was counter winding instead.This morning,it was the same case. I can’t seem to go beyond the second clockwise wind.So I had to wind it counterclockwise again.Since I can’t wind it enough,my watch stops by noontime :( and have to wind again. Any ideas why this is so?Is there a mechanism inside that “runs out”?

rmahadevan answers:

Yes, you can over wind some watches and bind up the spring or mechanism.

Since the winding stem is ratchets, you can wind it back and forth like your mother suggested, but it will do nothing to “unwind” the watch. (like peddling backward on a ten-speed bike)

The watch is not destroyed and some gentle and consistent jarring may help get the mech moving again. Otherwise it needs to be opened and relieved. Do not do this yourself unless you don’t care about the watch.

How do I kill Mulberry bushes?

I hate killing living things but I have mulberry bushes that are taking over my yard. I tried pruning them back, but every spring I have 3 new bushes sprouting up. I want to remove them without hurting the other plant life in my yard. Is this possible? I have some that are sprouting up close to my house and risk damaging my foundation. I need help they are out of control :)

rmahadevan answers:

You are experiencing why it is so hard to kill mulberry bushes–they keep sending up new plants from underground rhizomes. You’re going to have to cut the main plant down to the ground and if there is a stump six inches or wider you should get some stump remover (one is pretty effective that uses kerosene with it) or get someone with a stump grinder and grind it out. Grinding is quicker but more expensive.

Next cut all the shoots down to the ground. Don’t spray them with weed killer because that could damage the lawn. Then keep mowing over that area once a week even if the grass does not need cutting to make sure you cut off any new shoots while they are still young. With mulberries you’ll probably have to cut shoots for an entire growing season. They have an extensive root system which stores a lot of food. As long as those roots contain any food they will keep sending up shoots, but each time they do it uses up some of that stored energy. Once the stored energy is gone the roots will die and that will be the end of your problem.

One extra note: a few years after they die you may notice lots of mushrooms or other types of fungi growing in your lawn where the dead roots were. Don’t worry about them. They are decomposition fungi finishing off the final remains of the bush. When the mulberry is completely gone the fungi will disappear too.

Jenny asks…

How do I kill mulberry bushes (trees)?

We have mulberry bushes popping up all over the place and I have been cutting some of them back for years but now those have roots and stumps that are large. How do I get rid of these invasive plants?

rmahadevan answers:

Dig them up as much as you can. Then use a root killer or rock salt to kill the roots. If it’s legal in your area you can burn the roots first then use the salt.

Nancy asks…

How do I keep birds and bugs from eating the cherries off of my cherry tree?

I have a mulberry bush right next to it that produces fruit at the same time but the cherry tree still gets attacked I don’t have a pesticide license and don’t even know what I would need. Is there anything natural I can get to help? Right now the cherries are green and the birds have already started at it. I just want enough cherries to bake a pie or two this summer.

rmahadevan answers:

Okay, birds first.
You can try hanging aluminum pie tins from the branches. If the tree is very big, you won’t be able to get to the top. This may elp deter them, but probably won’t stop them completely. You can also try scarecrows, but probably won’t work either. The only effective way to keep birds out is a netting over the whole tree.

Now the bugs
You will need to use an insecticide designed for use on crops. Sevin is a good all around choice. Use the liquid so that you can spray it over the whole tree. If you have a hose end sprayer, you can use that and put the sevin in the dispenser. Otherwise, you will mix and put in a pressure sprayer. You don’t need a license for sevin if you are in the US. You can try some of the alternatives, but no guarantees. Tobacco tea – boil some tobacco in water to make a strong solution and then dilute with water to spray. Add a couple teaspoons of dish detergent to help it adhere to the plant and break down the bug’s protection. Or cayenne pepper spray – water and cayenne pepper mixed and sprayed.

Why most men like so much watching other men playing sports?

And I mean heterosexual men. Also hangin with other men watching men sports, isn’t that actually a bit gay (and I mean no offence to gay people)? I personally find it more interesting to watch girls playing sports.

I think that ladies usually not into watching sports, so men have to hang with other men as it’s more fun to watch with someone else – share exciting moments.

Why is it ok to watch men on tv and in movies take a piss?

They can also take shits on tv and in movies. But if this happens to a women its considered innapprpriate, rude, and disgusting yet it seems every cop or lawyer has some major discussion with another male while they both take a piss in a bathroom. Why is it ok for us to watch men piss on tv and in movies?

rmahadevan answers:

Yeah I don’t get it what’s the purpose of showing urinal conversations in pretty much every show, the conversation could have easily been had in any other room without affecting the plot. Maybe it’s supposed to make the show look more edgy or maybe they just like getting actors to pretend to piss on camera I don’t know.

How much is the cheapest ring Cartier sells?

My girlfriend loves Cartier and I would like to surprise her with a ring. But I do not want to break the bank either. Also, the nearest Cartier store is several hours away. Does anyone know if Cartier boutiques will allow purchases over the phone and provide shipping? Thanks in advance.

rmahadevan answers:

Try calling the store and ask, but I’m guessing they’ll allow you to place your order over the phone. You can also request a catalog.

All of Cartier’s jewelry is pretty expensive because of the name and because they sell only gold or platinum. If you can’t find something within your price range there, try Tiffany’s. Tiffany‘s has a whole range of prices, including very affordable silver pieces. She might love Cartier, but she won’t be disappointed with something from Tiffany’s – all women love getting those aqua blue boxes.

Susan asks…

How can I tell the difference between a real Cartier watch and a replica?

I have been given a Cartier watch and I wondered if it was real or a replica. It has a serial number on it, but I am having trouble looking it up. Is there anything I can look for on the watch that will tell me?

rmahadevan answers:

I would take it to a fine jeweler, they usually have experience with high end watches and might even be able to tell you the value of it. If you don’t wish to take it in, you can also seek the many horology loving members of the Watchuseek forum. I’ve visited the forum for watch questions and there are many members who surely own Cartier watches.

Maria asks…

Why does my stainless steal Cartier watch turn my wrist black after i was my hands?

I have a 100% authentic Cartier stainless steal watch that leaves black marks on my wrist when it gets wet. Why is this?

rmahadevan answers:

100% Cartier – or 100% stainless steel?

The back MAY be of a different alloy – probably nickle or silver – and your body is creating an electrolytic reaction.

PURPOSELY get your watch wet and let it sit on your wrist until the area is dry, then look at the black patch – is it in a perfect circle of the back? Is it a VERY thin ring AROUND the back (it may be from a nickle seal used inside the backing). Is it a thicker ring around the outside (it may from the outer casing itself).

Personally, I think you have a counterfeit watch. Cartier makes some good watches and they use VERY high quality stuff – and they would use NOTHING but stainless in the outer casing if it were really a Cartier.

Did you (or whomever got it for you) get a REALLY good deal on it? Yuppers – it’s a fake. If not, you just got screwed.
