ArkoN Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Hello, I started 2008 at this forum the rep game. I really love the 16610 and TC is a really nice one but I know I will never be 100% happy with it.(and I`m not ready to buy a gen cal 3135 or bracelet, too expensive for just a franken/fake) So I started the project gen 16610 some months ago. Today I got very lucky at Basel. I bought today a unworn plastic coated 16610 from 2009 complete with box at a special marketplace for dealers/buyers/collectors. It was 5200 Swiss francs thats about 5650$ or 4300 Eur. And I watch chrono24.com and other sources for months and for europa this is a very good deal. Pictures of the watch below. And there is another story my girlfriend wants a 16610 comex fake. She got it yesterday some pictures below some pictures and the full story here: http://www.rwg.cc/to...-a-16610-comex/ Today I visited Basel World and I did add some pictures from the visit. (taken with the iPhone 4S) The pictures are self explaining. 16610 Submariner 16610 Submariner Basel World 2012 Basel World 2012 Rolex Basel World 2012 Sky (ugly)weller?

danza1812 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Congratulations on the 16610. Can't beat gen, but I guess I've only ever been half in love with Rolex so my Franken TC acts like a nicotine patch for me! Great place to buy a watch, guess it makes it that but more special for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thanks for sharing and congratulations on your purchase! The tudors don't look half bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danza1812 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Pretty ballsy of your girlfriend to wear a $130 rep comex to Basel by the way! If there ever was a place for Rolex snobs to congregate that's the place alright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonporsche Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 +1 on the fake comex wearing! Great pick up on your gen though. I too love the look of that tudor, good times for tudor they could pick up on the vintage rolex theme and slightly modernize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkoN Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Basel World was very crowded and no one cared which watch you are wearing especially if its "just" a submariner at first sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Basel World was very crowded and no one cared which watch you are wearing especially if its "just" a submariner at first sight. Just a Submariner... At least it wasn't "just" a PN vintage Daytona! Congrats on new purchase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
