Anyone has the beautiful VRF 116613LB?

Yo guys!

I'm totally in love with 116613, but I've been very hesitant due to the fact its has gold in it..

Has anyone got the VRF gold wrapped version, whom knows if the gold will start fading and or chipping

Is there any other things to look out for on this specific model ?

I know the gold probably isn't going to look dead on vs a rep, but if you have had your watch next to a gen, is there any noticeable difference ?


Cheers !

I had a 116613LN VRF and the gold was way to brassy / orange in certain lighting. I have a few TT gens for comparison and the difference was really big.

This is my VRF MAX wrapped 116613ln in the sunlight . The gold is not that brassy after you go over it with a polishing cloth a couple times then it's pretty spot on .The gold wrapping is thick as I've had this one for over a year and when it scratches it is still gold underneath..and trust me I've gouged this thing a couple of times and my jeweler just buffed it out and it looked great..

I wish it was !! This is definitely the VR factory max with the 2836 .. the trick with the VRF wrapped watches is you have to go over the gold wrapping with a jewelry polish cloth the one with the chemical in the cloth and polish it until the cloth turns black then clean with a Terry cloth and wash the watch in dish soap.
