hologramet Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 So, I couldn't just resist the Noob v6s. However, there were a couple of issues I felt had to be addressed. Therefore, here comes my Franken-thread. Noob v6s 116610LN 338 USD from Sead/supermirror.net (A2836) BP Miyota 116610LN-dial 25 USD from Sead/supermirror.net TC 11610 LV v2 hand set 50 USD from TC AR crystal: Rolex B25-295-CAR-C1 205 EUR from secret sources Bezel insert: B315-116610-A1 160 EUR from secret sources Relume of hands and dial to Superluminova BGW aprox 100-120 EUR I've considered a 704-crown too, but I want to see how well the stock one holds up. Anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Sounds interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing the difference the crystal and insert make. Hopeful a Hugh diffence given the cost. Good luck with the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only knew what some people ask for these parts. These are basically the price straight from Rolex. I've seen a 116610LN insert for 600 EUR. ... Let's put it like this. In Sweden you don't have to send your part in to Rolex in exchange for a new. Don't know if that applies to Netherlands too, but... if it does, look for a watchmaker with a Rolex acc.

Only found a website with some import data where it is listed for $180,92!!! So supply and demand is really a factor here... https://www.seair.co.in/rolex-116610-import-data.aspx Thanks for your reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real market price for ceramic bezel without the full assembly is around 700$. About 1,000$ with the full bezel assembly. Ceramic prices are outrageous!!

hologramet Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Nope... That's what jackal's are selling them for. I don't know how well you know your watchmaker, but the prices I wrote in my first post is the price I pay to him. What he pays is most likely lower. AR crystal: Rolex B25-295-CAR-C1 205 EUR from secret sources Bezel insert: B315-116610-A1 160 EUR from secret sources Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
