14k Rolex Two Tone Ultimate wrapped gold **NOOB MAKER**

[Om3ga_guy]

Having owned my gen 116613 for the last few months, the following flaws stand out to me in the photos I'm seeing:

-Date mag AR looks very different in terms of colour

-Blue colour on dial and bezel look lighter/ more flat (closer to smurf execution)

-Dial printing looks FLAT. Gen has a glitter and is raised

-Rehaut engravings look thinner

-Texture of gold numbers in bezel insert are rough. Mine are smooth

-Dial index rims are thinner on gen than rep

The rep sel in the photos don't bother me too much on these as at least your getting a thicker gold wrap. If they were smart they would have used brass rather than steel on the sel like wm9 did.

IMO I would say the LN rep is more convincing than LB.

Mine for reference:

Om3ga. Thank you so much for your observations. These are really, really useful. And thank you for saving me 630$ I may havent spent carefully.

And congratulations to the gen! Does it get much attention?

I am so so disoriented .... which direction should i take to not overpay and get nice TT Sub ? Go for wrapped ~600 or just noob for 300 with 2836 ?
Dont you think some of YG Wrapped wersion is a bit orange ? Or it is just photos ? > http://www.intime.co/rollie/2203-su...-superlumed-dial-on-ss-yg-bracelet-a3135.html it ones look better ?

It is worth to give double coin for this YG Wrapped ? or just go for TT sub from noob ? Maybe you got another advice ?

Personally, I would try the 114060 or 116600 and see if the quality is good enough for you. The LB is very tempting but 630 plus shipping is kind of a risk. I would never wear the 116610 v6 because it looks and feels cheap in my eyes.

Thanks for advice i am totaly in love with Two Tone Sub, can i find TT in TD section which will be nice and looks like gen ? Or just be >90 % of gen.
I spoke with Ryan and he recomend http://www.intime.co/rollie/1103-submariner-116613-bp-marker-a2824-new-bezel-insert.html but i feel like wrapped one is better

I have the TT vlue and im in love with it. I used modelers paint and very fine fiber brush to color the side of the kidlink on the sel and inbetween on the bracelet and it looks gen. The tightness on the sel on mine is spot on as are the blue color. The pearl is great. The bezel markers are perfect and im really happy I didnt spend 12k..lol! Im sure under a syper macro there are differwnces on the dial print but on the wrist it looks completely gen..oh and by tge way the wrap is also on the bezel..after I learned this I gave the watch a polish and it looks amazing..I will tey to post some pix later but ive never posted pics before so wish me luck..great watch imo but I may have just gotten lucky in qc.

That's the watch Ryan initially recommend to myself as well but I had my mind set on a blue dial and I wanted the wrapped bracelet so my choice was clear!

I would love to get TT sub but unfortunately they looks so cheap and not even close to gen in any way
also +600USD for a watch with so many flaws sounds a bit crazy

cheers

Really? Gotta disagree on that one, we are splitting hairs here mate. It's actually not a bad rep at all. The bezel paint needs some TLC but the rest is not bad at all. To say they look "Cheap" and "not even close to gen in any way" is a gross over statement IMHO.

I have a gold wrapped bracelet that I bought a couple of years back and it has held up very well with no fading and takes a light polishing with no problems. the gold color is very close to gen. I was fortunate to find a gen black and gold ceramic bezel insert some time ago (very hard to find) which fitted perfectly and had a gen crystal installed. Keep thinking about putting a gen crown on it, but don't wear it much these days and it looks pretty good anyway.

I would love to see some photos of your watch and the outcome of the work. The observations I'm making are thru photos and my own eyes, not a loop. You must have got a good one!

I've never heard of the factories gold wrapping a bezel. Do you have a photo showing the construction? Has anyone else heard of this?

+1

The two tone reps have come a long way. Considering what you get for $600 I like it. Average person wouldn't know the difference. I'm only critiquing as I own a gen and am use to seeing the same watch everyday.

This doesn't look cheap in anyway...

Omega your gen is sick lol

Lol thanks dude. Coming from the subc expert it's well appreciated. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with my dial in anyway, I'm sure you could find something? Lol

What u mean you have a gen why would there be something wrong?looking at your pics it looks perfect to me

 

[Om3ga_guy]

There isn't, exactly. But with your eye I'm sure you can find something wrong even on a gen [emoji106]
