knothead Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 I always get a laugh, because the guys who have the genuine pieces can never tell the difference between this and theirs. And after moving to Los Angeles, and the cost of living, I'm wondering how long I'll be keeping this. Bought it, and had it modded 10yrs ago. 2836-2 movement.

knothead Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 This watch is for sale. it certainly wouldn't be, but moving from the East Coast to the west coast is much more expensive than I thought. And where is the classified section? I've been a member here for 10 years, and haven't been on the board in a while, but, it was always once here, and did not require a payment to access.

alligoat Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 You have to be a VIP or Platinum member to sell here. Maybe you could be come a VIP member for a month to sell the watch. The one thing about that watch is it has a swiss 2836-2 as opposed to an Asian 2836-2, which is a good thing.. But being an older watch, it might not bring that much- there are better models of the 16610LV out there these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Gotta join up, tag your pics and post in proper thread man, if you price it right it should go fast. Nice piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 What they said!! biggest problem with these older models, are they gen like construction? IF you can't put a gen bezel, dial crystal on them, they aren't worth much. The ETA movement is a nice plus though. But to sell, you need to upgrade to VIP, take a tagged photo and put it up for sale. What did the infamous RBJ do in the way of modding the watch, you never said ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 A member for 10 years and you only had 2 whole posts before this sales attempt. What an upstanding member you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knothead Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Kbh, I was in Iraq twice (OIF), so I do apologize for not adding to the site. I hope you are able to understand that while you were asleep, I was killing terrorists who wanted to come here for you and everyone else... And, I'm not paying for VIP membership for any reason whatsoever! There was never I pay section when I first signed up here, & I won't be paying any time soon. as for the others, this watch was done with care, and it shows. Literally, no rolling counter can tell the difference unless they look at the watch with the back off. Mods: crown guards done, crown upgraded, dial replaced, bezel polished to match genuine, etc., And yes, genuine Rolex pieces fit this watch. And yes, my now ex Wife was a Rolex rep. I have seen many reps that she'd use to compare in stores, and this one blows them away. The only thing needed is a new bezel, as this shows a few small scratches from wear. If any of you want it, I guess pm me. I've not been on the board in years, and apologize, but won't apologize for being over seas for years, and basically forgetting who I was.

knothead Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 ^ Sorry. Talk to text is bad. I meant to say, no Rolex owner can tell the difference in this piece. A jeweler in Los Angeles said, "wow, that's scary!" Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knothead Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Panerai153,this piece accepts both genuine crystal, bezel, and dial. I don't want to sell it, but after paying movers to take my stuff from the east coast to CA, I'm running low on $, and that's life I guess. (note, never move a large gun safe from the east coast to the west coast! I could have bought a new one here for almost as much..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Back in the days, minimum 10% of the sale amount was due to RWG, remember? This watch has obvious flaws, reps have gone a long way... Please mod, have a look at this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURE! That war was based on a lie and totally unwarranted. Yes! That war has created more terrorist than you ever killed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 And by the way, it looks like you're missing the lume on the 9 o'clock marker. Other than that and the scratches it's decent looking rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 In the first pic, it looks like the lume at 9 o'clock is there- might be the shadow of the minute hand in the other two pics.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knothead Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yes, the lume on the 9 o clock is missing. As for politics, sorry guys, but i did what I was told, and yes, that means less than can be here on US soil doing bad [censored]. Thanks for your service elio. May have ran across you, never know. Last, I used the word terrorist. We had other terms we'd use, but that was then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 This is turning into fail, and back-door selling. OP - if you won't sponsor the forum and play by the rules to properly sell your watch because you seem above it... then to that, I say "take a hike." Frankly, pulling the soldier card so wantonly is kind of a jerk move as well. Can we get a mod in here to shut this down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marrickvilleboy Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Firstly I doubt any rep 10 years ago could accept gen crystal as that required it to have gen like construction which I dont believe appeared in 2005. Also, whoever wants to deal with a member with 2 posts, albeit 9 years as a member here, its your risk and your call. Mods should definitely shut this down.

Last, I used the word terrorist. We had other terms we'd use, but that was then... Well, since the mods don't seem to care........ The only reason they're over here fkkin with us is because we're so busy over there sticking our nose in their sorry a**ed countries business. The world was a much better place with a few strong men dictators keeping the population under control. Look at how that area has deteriorated since we took out Khadafi and Hussein. Then we promote the over throw Assad and turn that place upside down. They aren't ready and don't want US style democracy. I did two tours in Viet Nam in the 70's so I think i'm entitled to make these statements. We were so busy saving the world from communism and the falling dominoes in SE Asia. That worked out about as well as this latest fiasco. And funny how none of the other "dominoes" fell after Saigon..... By the way, what do you think that watch is worth?
