polexpete Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Check this out. Quite a bargain me thinks ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-116610LN-original-Dial-Cerachrom-Bezel-hands-/290866982053?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43b905eca5 Cheers P.
devilseam Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Tempting, very tempting. Might make a cheeky offer.
sneed12 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Sent an offer, we'll see what comes of it if anything
irolexu Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Just bought it! Haha jk but wow I wonder what the sub looks like now. I bet they converted it to blub subC
ghost Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Will it fit the rep cases that are on the market now?
danielv2000 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Will it fit the rep cases that are on the market now? That's the million dollar question!
jpz5142 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 That's the million dollar question! Actually, it's the $999 question.
pjsayer Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Great spot - gen Sub-C parts are as rare as hen's teeth!
irolexu Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 I just couldn't see myself putting 1000.00 dollars of gen parts into a subC at this point. We need true 1:1 cases like sean, phong, TC have in order to justify those parts other wise we are putting lipstick on the pig.
sneed12 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Seller has made a counter-offer at a price I'm willing to pay, but points out that he must put the actual value on the package and I may owe customs duties. Anyone have any idea what that might run me in the US? I just couldn't see myself putting 1000.00 dollars of gen parts into a subC at this point. We need true 1:1 cases like sean, phong, TC have in order to justify those parts other wise we are putting lipstick on the pig. I disagree--the new BP case is quite good. I think the BP case plus A3135 and these parts would probably make a pretty nice watch.
irolexu Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 That's the thing the case won't take a 3135 due to stem height
sneed12 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 That's the thing the case won't take a 3135 due to stem height So redrill the case tube hole. The 3135 and 2836 aren't that far apart; the TC v4 case takes both pretty easily.
irolexu Posted February 21, 2013 Report Posted February 21, 2013 Don't get me wrong guys. I really love the new BP but we know how this hobby goes we build our hearts out on a certain case set then something better comes a long. I have a gen crystal on my BP and sooon to be crown and tube but at this point a gen dial, insert and 3135 is not ideal at this point. Sooner or later they will have a high quality case set like what we see with TC
ghost Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 So we are in agreement that the new BP SubC is the closest? More so than BK's offering? I have been trying to find a good sub C to fit in my gen hulk dial...alas i havent got the bezel insert to match it either
irolexu Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 Go with a BP noob sub does not compare but one frustrating thing with me is the crown gaurds are way to big and bulky compared to gen (compared mine to a gen today)
