Thoughts on this 116610LN on the Bay

[RepC]

Hi guys,

Was searching the bay for a gen 116610 insert and came across this 116610LN from 2019.

Looking at the rehaut as it it not dead centered made me suspicious. Your thoughts?

Nothing wrong with it. They come misaligned sometimes, no big deal.

The rehaut IS dead centered, the dial is not.

Majority of gens are misaligned , The things we pick apart reps for on here are on a LOT of gens anyway

That’s interesting! Sometimes indeed I find myself to picky when it comes to reps even though i know there always be flaws in them. But then again, if inspend 10 grand, better be alligned, but thats just me.

yeah, gens have flaws too. It's not uncommon for a dial to be off slightly. I've seen some flaws on on gens that you'd be absolutely shocked by. Especially with macro shots. That is part of the charm of a Rolex - the slight variation of each unit.

Shit lume
Shit dial print
Misaligned date mags
Misaligned rehauts
Badly polished parts

All things I've experienced after waiting months and seems to be common place, Rolex is at the lower end of luxury watches in the gen world , But the best at marketing

Makes me appreciate the reps even more.

I guess the situation got worst in the recent years with the exceptional increase of people after the sport models, year long wait lists, etc...
They can´t mass produce a watch so full of fine details without any flaws.

I picked up the new air king just recently, same thing, the crown doesn't line up perfect among other things. It used to bother me on my gen watches, mainly because I thought it was only something reps came with. Just my .02

Literally, there are like 2/10 watches made where the fully screwed down crown is lined up. I don’t think they even thought about that when they were designing it.

I bet you're right, just something the manufacturer considers trivial. I asked the AD if they could fix it but was told they couldn't, I found that hard to believe.

Sometimes as someone’s already said it’s the dial, not the rehaut itself. Btw it can be done, I know many who did.. Just ask a good watchsmith instead of the AD!

Rolex messes up quite a bit. The latest major defect was this guy. https://youtu.be/mDyFyynEe4U

I can’t believe nobody at Rolex’s Q/A team caught that but I’d bet that thing is worth quite a bit and will keep going up in value.

I’d wear it just because it’s a hilarious defect.

Yup the "old 99" would be a keeper and it would NEVER go back to the R-factory
