Hinclimincli 17 Posted July 29, 2019 You missed the tagged photo, but I'll take it anyway. Cheeeeeeeers! (congratulations on a really outstanding watch, rep or not this is actually a great watch, better than many gens!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted July 30, 2019 Stuff so good that even the Freckled will be going two tones, that's probably the best compliment you can have on this build ! Congrats to you and rolie for such a good work and result ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CurioLeo 296 Posted July 30, 2019 Beautiful result ....... BUT...... I have seen (fairly recently too) several reputable 2nd hand dealers selling a gen version for about $12k AUD . Personally, I would have sold a few more reps (I am sure you have just a couple lying around ) and gone full gen for my grail watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I would have sold a few more reps (I am sure you have just a couple lying around ) and gone full gen for my grail watch. That's bloody cheap for a gen 116613LB. The cheapest 2nd hand version over here is around £10.5k with mint ones going for £11-12k. At $12k AUD, that's still nearly £3k more than the build, which is better in my pocket than a dealers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AddictedtoVintage 0 Posted July 30, 2019 Beautiful build, gold watches usually aren't really mine, but the bluesy is just a class of its own! Wear it in happiness! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the 6 digit is that cheap, Australia will have a booming 2nd hand Rolex market. 2 hours ago, AddictedtoVintage said: Beautiful build, gold watches usually aren't really mine, but the bluesy is just a class of its own!

Jnkay 0 Posted February 26, 2020 Beautiful build. I noticed that the rehaut on the ARF is a tad more angled than the gen. I am surprised the gen dial isn't too large the ARF inner case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
