Rolex 116618LN full gold - BP ETA

Recommended Posts

Monkey_Business

Hey!

 

This is my latest addition to the watchbox.

Bought mostly for night-outs, as I'm not the kind of chap who would pull off wearing a golden watch to work.

Overall satisfied, and Andrew would swear it's a genuine ETA inside. I'll take his word on it :)

 

The only downside, and a huge one at that, is the links. They feel extremely light, and make an annoying sound. Feels VERY cheap, but not noticeable on the wrist. Huge turndown IMO. If it wasn't for the ETA inside, I'd not say it's worth the 330$ it craves from you :)

 

Enjoy the pics - Packaging was great, and I did some quick comparison against the Noob V6s.

Nice catch!

BP should really improve the feeling of their bracelets

Looks great, My BP daydate has the same feel, if the bracelet is slightly loose on the wrist it kinda rattles around, which like you says sounds cheap, but on wrist they are great.

 

Going to get a TT Bluesy as a summer watch from BP soon enough

That's really gold. And I'm sure it genuinely has a movement inside.

 

Looks sharp!

I believe you linked me to a review of this lately.

I was stuck between the two of these :)

I used to have the noob 21j model of that, so it was an older rep, till D Chico decided to keep it.

I remember it being great quality, the feel and the gold plating......do noob still do one of these?

I tried to find a noob version, but I failed. Maybe I just stink? Dunno. In my opinion, the dial and 2,5x mag is better on the BP than the V6s. I like the feel of the case/dial better on the BP, and the bracelet of the V6s better than the BP :P

 

Maybe I should wear them both.. Simoltaniously

NO. GOD DAMNIT!

I'll just delete my Flickr-account, and close my forum user then. This cannot be undone :help3:

 

If it's any comfort, they look good today! :) Dried-out nasty ass fingers from re-doing the kitchen, that is.

Beautiful watch! I'm sure the gen costs quite a pretty penny, might be a lame question but what would you say if someone questioned you based on your watch? I'm sure i would definitely be shocked if someone had 30k on their wrist.

 

Just curious as to what most of you guys use as your 'stories' for owning such an expensive watch, or if you just say it's a replica straight up.

If anyone I don't know asks about my watch my answer when wearing a rep is "it's a fake mate", when wearing a gen my answer is "it's a fake mate". It takes too long to grow my arm back after some scumbag has ripped it off

Here, nobody knows what a "Rolex", "Omega" or anyhing is. Except a handful of people. A vast minority of the population.

 

Even if someone were to ask (Has not happened yet, though I've been eyeballed two times at the airport) I'd just tell 'em :)

Good luck with the BP and their "new ETA"... I know something about them...

Seagull Asian ETA clones are way better.

Hi mate.

 

I'm being careful with it, but the bracelet scratches easily. It has quite a few deskdives and hairlines

Other than that, still mint!
