trotter 0 Posted April 8, 2017 Can anyone tell me why theres a $200 / $300 price difference ? Apart from the movement Noob coming in at $560 TO $720 (Depending on movement) and BP coming in at around $930. Also any opinions as to more gen like or better qualities.

Rolex_Man 0 Posted April 8, 2017 I believe the $930 watch is wrapped with 15-20 mils of real 18kt gold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trotter 0 Posted April 8, 2017 I believe the $930 watch is wrapped with 15-20 mils of real 18kt gold. yeah i presume thats the BP quite expensive for an extra 5 mils compared to the Noob .I wonder which is most like the Gen ,surely there must be other differences can anyone shed anylight on the comparison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rx4Time 1,472 Posted April 9, 2017 I would not buy a gold rep, period. The wrapped are better, but all it takes is one scratch to reveal the base metal and your watch is worthless. Also, Rolex only uses 18 k gold so I've seen comparison threads and the gold tone is not always accurate. Better to franken a stainless steel model with gen parts for the money.

FoxWilde 155 Posted July 11, 2017 I just bought a BP Ultimate 116613 with A2836 movt. love the watch, trying to be extra careful with the bracelet. It'll probably end up being on a leather or rubber strap soon, if I don't find a gen bracelet I'm happy with. with the A2836 my dealer had it for $360. I think he also has an A3135 for $570.
