WOW!!! Now that's an awesome looking piece! I can't help but wonder if the dials are painted white under the markers as the gens are. ....those do indeed look primo !!! ......alarmingly accurate...sorta makes a gen a waste of good money...

Yup...I do. Levis 501 and 505 for fit...and 550 for comfort....with a few pairs of Tommy H too And vintage Girbaud is by far my favorite for fit and durability. (not the latest saggy. baggy, fireman lookin' versions out there.)

Rehaut engraving says...fake...and a poor one at that

Are you sure about that ?

Looks gen to me. Like a 16800/early 16610 tritium "Flat 4" insert. Nothing uncommon or "ultra-rare" about it. (though it also looks to me like someone has swapped pearls at some point.)

Always a man of great taste and style. Congrats brother....looks great

Great reading. Funny...yet so true. This friggin' hobby can and "will" consume you....if you let it. .....it "is" an addiction....in every cents of the word

Looks great. As for the winding while screwing into locking position: it shouldn't hurt anything. ....maybe pull the stem and make certain the overall length of the stem/crown is 19.2mm...or is it 19.4 ??

on your BK what Brother?

wow

For what it's worth I attempted fitting a gen 93250 SEL to a WM9 v3 a couple years back and it didn't fit....too tight. At that time I wasn't willing to shave the insides of the lugs on a v3 case and I certainly wasn't willing to shave the gen SEL. This is just from my experience....well all know the slight variations and inconsistencies in dimensions that are common with rep/aftermarket parts. ................so it's a gamble....but it didn't work for me.

If that's a rep seconds hand it's by far the best looking pointer I've ever seen

The 16610 Submariner is the Rolex "icon". Mention Rolex and people automatically think Submariner. I'm not a huge fan of the "chunky, bulkiness" of the 116610's or any of the new ceramic line by Rolex. I'm a staright up 16800/16610 fan. But IMHO the 2201.50 Omega (42mm Planet Ocean) is twice the watch the 16610 is and about half the price. And "alot" less than half the price when going Franken status with a PO. Impressed when handed a Brietling SF...I should think so. AWESOME timepiece I had more notice with interest from the v5 42mm PO (stock) when I had one over that of the 16800 Submariner (all gen with the exception of the midcase)

Hmmmm...that's not a rep serial number that I know of. But the case back, dial and bezel look rep to me.

Try hitting it lightly with Cape Cod afterwards. But don't rub too hard or it'll have your brushed finish looking polished.
