Very interesting. How do you know they are franken? So there are dealers putting out franken builds in china? Do our TDs get them?

Lovely watches/builds! I was not at all a Rolex guy but in the last couple of months I got 3x Rlx and one of them is a Noob Daytona with the last 4130 mvt. In my humble opinion they are amazing reps, the faults are minimal compared to the gen and completely acceptable for me. Waiting for some new references to be replicated to buy more now :D, especially the 116519LN


I wonder since you guys are from China if you buy these watches (stock/unmodded) for a better price than we do..

I would say about 2400 €, I could build it incl Domis work for that price.

Around £2100-£2200 serviced. So pretty much what Guru has said.

Thats really good considering. If it could be confirmed water resistant too even better. Id be tempted to invest for a white face 116520 along side my gen back face. Look forward to seeing the finished piece. Keep me updated please.

And this is what I'm aiming to build/put together. Cuz I kinda want a laid-back, below-the-radar look:

New White dial incl new handset is 1000 euro, source a ARF bezel for 50 and get the watch for 500 and you are all set

you could find an aftermarket one on Chrono24 website, it is a black golden dial for 116509, subdials are in white gold, a gen one to an AD is near 7000€, better look for an aftermarket one
