Yes rivierawatch is a great gen dealer here in france, he makes amazing prices (20% 30% cheaper than usual dealer) and he can find you pretty much any watch... It's the 3rd gen i buy from him and everytimes it's perfect and fast. I expect to receive it next week, i'm so exited about it, i just love the watch, too bad i had to sell the GMT II to afford the HULK!! but from my point of view it worth it

@ $6400 Euros that is almost $9000 USD. Did you get a better deal?

Cheapest I've ever seen is about 5.2k Euros but that's a used price. 5.8k to 6.2 is a more reasonable price. So the 6.4k is quite high I agree.

I paid the hulk 6150€ including safe shipping, the watch is new and i have 2 years rolex warranty (as usual) and 1 year rivierawatch... I think it's quiet correct for the watch, as at a rolex official shop, the watch cost 6600€ without extended warranty and i have to wait almost a month to get it. Sure if i bought the watch ''used'' it would be a bit cheaper but i prefer to buy a new because if one day i wanna sell it it ll be easier if i'm the first buyer don't you think? and you never really know if the previous owner took good care of it...

No, that's not bad for the warranty and pride you have in owning a brand new Rolex. We all know how much Rolex have hiked their prices in the last few years so getting it for below list price is always a bonus.

Hont's version

This is the new one that Hont offers.
He told me pictures aren't good, darker than it should be
and it has the sunburst dial.

Bones, what's the verdict?

I don´t think pix are to dark. The white is in order, and the blue cloth is also ok, so... maybe the piece is just... to dark. Sunburst dial? Well, i dont see it.

Have to agree with Franke. It's wokky, no evidence of the sunburst and the colour looks pretty bad.

fry me up some chop suey....
looks like they need to make the rehaut almost completely facing upwards to get the engraving proper.
british racing green all over....looks like some of the early failed attempts

Wokky Rehaut, looks to be a GMT case (at least the engraving aligns), poor SEL fit, fat hour hand...

Le sigh. Next!
