For sale is a116519LN plated by Nikz with gen bezel and crystal. This was going to be the last rep rolex to keep but I’ve decided to let it go. Moving on to Pateks & APs from now on. Cost breakdown as follows:
- Gen bezel $2200 USD
- Gen crystal $380 USD
- Nikz plating $290 USD
- Clean factory 116519 $788 USD.
Total: $3658
Selling for $3150 USD

Two things to note:
- The clasp was not plated because I was using the case for a racing dial 116519 and swapped to 116519LN later.
- I took out the spring bar on the endlinks to adjust the endlinks to positions where they are more gen like (a little bit of recession from lugs but not too much). Applied a tiny bit of superglue so it stays that way. The endlinks sit against the rubber so even without glue they are fine. Spring bars will be attached for this sale so you can reverse it if you don’t like it but I don’t think there’s a need for that. It’s a lot better this way than it was straight out of factory)

If you want to save the hassle sourcing parts and skip the line at Nikz’s for 4 months, it’s a good idea to grab this piece at a discount. This was the last Rolex rep piece I was going to keep for myself.


Photos:



Some comparisons between Nikz’s plating and my gen WG daytona. I’d say it’s very close.




Some comparison between 116520 gen dial and this clean 116519 dial before Nikz’s plating. I reckon it’s reasonable to compare the subdial sizes although different models.
