Sub 116610 LB repair and mod

Recommended Posts

Gents,

 

Bought this Rolie 116610 LB Super clone 3135 from Puretime 3 months ago.

I really love it and there is no way that I get rid of it but the thing is that lots of things are not OK at all.

 

1) As you can see the clasp/bracelet is broken

2) The beater looses nearly 3 mns per hour.

3) The 12.00 o'clock mark is way too close to the Rolex crown. It nearly touches it !!!!

4) And finally the sunburst blue bezel insert is way too different from gen.

I think Domi could easily fix 1) and 2) but for 3) and 4) I really would like to get a gen dial and bezel insert from an 116619LB.

As you know this is quite hard to find but do you have any idea where to source this 2 items ?

If too difficult, where do you think I could find a perfect dial/insert replica that would fit the 3135 case ?

 

Am not a super Rolie expert and I would welcome all your advises and comments to make this beauty a better rep.

Thanks in advance.

 

Fran.

The smurf dial and bezel set is really really exorbitant in price. I've seen it go from 4-9k Euro! Prohibitively expensive i'd say. You're better off hunting down the black dial and insert i reckon. Another thing is, i dunno if anybody's done the gen dial swap before and whether it'll fit

I did receive the QC pics but this watch was with a lot of 2 other pieces and I must admit that I missed this details.

Actually the sunburst bezel is not a massive issue and I could leave with it but the dial is way too off vs gen.

I did ask BK some times ago. See below :

" I  can't do anything on the 116610 LB you have. The dial I have doesn't fit it because it has an extra width beyond the second markers. The dial feet don't line up with the SA3135's holes either."

Any other idea ???????? :g:
