mads_christ Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi I hope some of you pros could help me a bit. I have just bought this Rolex 116610. But can't seem to find on none of the TD sites... I bought it in Shanghai. And now I'm wondering if I payed too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenking Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 First flaw is the polished mid links,must be brushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mads_christ Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I know that. But i can't find a similar spec sub on the TD's. Anyone got a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 And now I'm wondering if I payed too much. Then it would be nice to know how much you paid ? Dial and hands look ... ahm ... interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mads_christ Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Then it would be nice to know how much you paid ? Dial and hands look ... ahm ... interesting You mean the color difference on the lume? In person it's the same color. I don't why the blue on the hands stands out in the photos.

mads_christ Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Roughly 125 usd And the bezel is ceramic by the way. And there is engravings on the rehaut. Edited August 30, 2013 by mads_christ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 That dial looks odd. The markers have too much lume or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Well not the end of the world at $125.00, 21j most likely. If you want a good one gonna have to pay more, chalk it up to experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mads_christ Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 You could be right. I'm no expert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Ephry that is true and I am sure one off our experts could pic it apart, I am not one of them. Sorry mads you made a mistake not the end of the world but if you are going to buy at Shanghai market better know your shit, stick to TDs for now.

docthor Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 That dial looks odd. The markers have too much lume or is it just me? Well...I'd say that's not lume...they dropped wax into the markers...at least this is how it looks to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 mads love the strap combo never thought of going that way! Hey it tells time the watch looks good on that strap you spent just 125 all good IMHO. PS wow strap really growing on me off to the net to buy one! (got a source?)

Ephry73 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Like that Burb strap for sure. Nice combo. The next step is a lume shot just to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mads_christ Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 The lume does work ok. Not like my PAMs but it is ok. The watch feels really well built. Bezel is really nice with nice even clicks and the crowns feels solid too. Lets see tomorrow how well it keeps time. The bracelet is off! But i never intended to use it anyway. (love natos) But for now i´m happy with my 125$ spend. It does look a bit like this. If you dont look at the bracelet that is. http://www.ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_7&products_id=9957&zenid=951f44069b1688bf27e4966d708fa055 I love the look of this strap on it. I bought a lot of natos from: http://www.monkeyswag.co.uk/ including the striped "sailor" strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Not bad for 125.00 definitely could have done better but I wouldn't say you way over payed...just slightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks mads have just the piece for it on the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mads_christ Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Glad i could help Mike. Another question for you pros... Does most of the TD´s send the watches directly from China? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 For 125.00 USD, not bad, the dial plots are not correct, their is too much lume in each one. Gen and good aftermarket dial plots are flat, not convex like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 mads yes from china a few have stuff in UK/EU on a limited scale I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacher62 Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 The date is in the standard DG or ETA position...not Rolex. And the font looks like a standard DG date font. But hey...we're WISs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
