Quarks Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hi there, I am new to rolexes. After seeing 116520 in another thread, I can't help but to go ahead with a purchase. But now, I need help to find a good rep of this watch. I am deciding between two dealers, etaworldgoods and Eddie Lee. Here are the comparison pics: From Eddie Lee From etaworldgoods; Swiss 7750 and I also noticed that the hands are polished. Not sure about price difference yet. Awaiting reply from them. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exper Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I think most of them are from the same supplier, the etaworldgoods one doesn't load btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I bought mine from Eddie... However I think that exper's 116520 from Homer looks a bit different - the especially the color of the subdials... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarks Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I have had past deals with Ken (187s .. and all was well) but I went along with EL for this one. Swiss is just too expensive for me atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarks Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Here is what Ken has to say... We offer the Daytona ref:116520 with Genuine Swiss Valjoux for... This watch is a in-house made from us Watch-honpo and we have made the dial identical to the original (sub dial in correct place). There is some modification to the movement to place the new dial. Power reserve can hold 48 hrs and very accurate. We have copy the sizes and etc very accurately from the genuine Daytona 116520. We think that it is the best one in the market. Please feel free to let us know if you have any other questions. thank you. The price is a tad over USD700.... I am not that crazy over Rolex atm but liking 116520 very much. Not liking enough to pay that much tho.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I actually think it is not totally true all that "watchhonpo only" crap. All of these watches sold by watchhonpo (apart from 187) are actually available from other dealers. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Is the sub dial spacing on the Watchonpo actually correct? Is Eddie Lee's as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Yes it is. Subdials are closer to each other than in standard 7750 and centers of subdials at 3 and 9 are located a bit above the line between 3 and 9 markers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
