V7 116613 two tone! Wow!

[irolexu]

I would highly suggest buying black if you're going this route! But otherwise it's not bad!

That is really well done...just as you'd expect from Noob.  I think the new subs are gorgeous, but I just haven't wanted to own one. Still like watches with lugholes.

I'm with you. My love for watches is falling down the Rolex timeline. I dream red subs and 6542s

Wow that's very nice!

How accurate is the blue dial ? Looks more like the non-sunburst version of this watch

That's a black dial with blue lume.

The blue dial doesn't appear to be sunburst, but I'm not sure the gen does either

There were two gen blue dial versions of the 116613. I think the v7 rep is a closer approximation of the original non-sunburst version. I wonder if anyone can comment on the differences between the noob rep dial color and the gen (non-sunburst)

[irolexu]

I hope someone can clarify if the SEL sides are indeed plated/wrapped and not capped and exposed. 

[ChrisBlank]

@irolexu,

The SEL sides are exposed...

Personally I am looking at buying an original bracelet ref 97203 to solve this issue as I am a real big fan of this watch, but the non-wrapped sides would drive me nuts.

Does anybody know how much a bracelet like this would cost? I have heard ranges of US$ 3,500 - 5,500

Also does anyone know about the price of a Gen crystal? I have been quoted US$ 270

 

[irolexu]

Where would you even find a new or used new style two tone bracelet? Never seen one for sale 

[ChrisBlank]

I saw one on ebay in london, and one at a dealer in Asia. 

 

@irolexu, 

Would that be a good price?

Ebay is not all the time gen stuff

[irolexu]

Buy your seller before your product..

Lol, I doubt you can find a gen bracelet for it, nor will it make sense mate. Find a gen dial prior to buying a gen bracelet lol. You wouldn't want to have 6k in a rep without even having a genuine dial or bezel.

Get an aftermarket gold bracelet and put a gen clasp on it...I did that for my Datejust. Around $900 for the jubilee. Much more for an oyster...but still MUCH less than gen.

It's very very hard to find a solid end link solid mid link 18k after market bracelet let alone the right clasp.. this would work for a Datejust as they are very common but I don't think this route would apply on a 116613

[bobandshawn]

Hmmm...that's too bad.
