Sell the fat lug ugliness and keep the classic, beautiful and perfect 16610.

we opend it yesterday, 100% gen, and very nice I might add. Deals like this, is the reason we keep a stash. You never know what's around the next corner, or what the next phone call will be.

thanks guys and again the previous owner got the watch free from his dad's company so I think its just a matter of "how much you got" and OK THANKS! haha

Hey guys, he lives in Texas, they got different rules there!! He didn't say how long the guy had been gone for either, he could have disappeared a year ago. I would bet that if he had wanted the Rolex, he would have taken it when he bailed, or at least come back or sent someone over to get it.Community property state, half of what he owns belongs to his wife anyway. I wouldn't worry about it for one minute, the problem if there is one will be between him and his wife/family. He's probably really, really happy with his new little Chica, and she's keeping his mind off Rolexes :whistling:

And to agree with everyone thus far except by-tor, I would keep the genuine. you can easily replace the inscribed case back, I bet you could take it over to RSC -Dallas and they could do it on the spot, after you check out the serial # first of course.

LOL. What was your friend's dad thinking? Walking out on the family without his Rolex... Shame on him.. :bangin:

Gratz on the purchase, but I'm still wondering why you have 2700 cash in your pocket? I bet you planned on low balling him all along :1a:

100%

Or use the movement for a frankin and part it out.

I hope your 'friend' is not a member here on rwg, seeing how you flipped it for maybe nearly twice the money if i understood from your post that you just sold it.

Also, a watch has always sentimental value. Having a watch on my wrist of which I know it was broken out of someones safe, would never make me proud to wear. Indeed better sell it then.

I'm just not a fan of the modern 116610. The lugs were to big, ceramic is to flashy, it's heavy and it doesn't have that classy simply feel my 16610 has. Even if its super franken it's something I got to have made in front of me and there's no issues with it so I'm happy I sold the subC and kept my 16610. I will sell it and buy a gen

So that I understand this correctly, you knowingly under paid for a genuine watch from your "friend" when he specifically called on your expertise to help him after his father walked out on him and his family? Just making sure.....

No he did not call for my expertise he called to sell me a watch. He got it free he wasn't looking to get fair value he was just motivated to sell
