I need some advices on 116613LB before buying

[beanvatan]

I also bought the Gold Leaf Pen like KJ2020 suggested, just in case the sides of the SELs are not plated! If worst comes to worst, I will use all my art skill to color those SELs. Wish me luck, guys. I am no good at art. I also have the ARF 116234 DJ with Gen MOP dials. The sides of the bracelet are not plate. So I guess, I will start on those links first.

If it's 3135 like mine it will be plated.

It is me or the one on the right; the hands look like they are white instead of gold?

That's a gen, it just camera angles it is gold.

I am thinking to get the bezel Spongebob mod after I get it. Are yours SELs plated?

Yes plated

I'm not sure that's a safe assumption to make. One member went through 3 bracelets (one 3135 watch and two separate bracelets). Only one separate bracelet had covered sides IIRC.

Tony23, KJ2020, I did order the 3135V2 version of the watch. I will ask for the pictures of the SELs when I received the QC pictures. I believe that all rep not created equally, so I hope for the best. Does anyone know if spongebob still around on the forum? I am looking for him everywhere in the Mods/Techs sections, but no luck. Or I am too blind to see his post.

You need to pm Spongebob

 

[beanvatan]

I sent Spongebob an email already. And I am so excited about the QC pictures. I hope I will get them soon.

SELs covered?

 

[r0b9502]

Here are some QC pics of the ARF version, 31345 (recent to within the past week). I post them as I rejected. Why did I reject, when the piece was just fine, and TD is excellent?

posted for your information on latest availability!

rejected because I ordered the black one

 

[beanvatan]

Updates: I approved the watch. The dial looks ok, bezel is correctly aligned. And the most important is that they have the right gold color for this watch. Also, KJ2020 asking about the SELs. To be honest with you, sir, to me the SELs look like they are plated. I am trying all the possible ways to zoom-in to check. But unfortunately all I see was pixels. Here are the pictures

r0b9502, do you have any pictures of your 116613 LN (black and gold sub)? As I stated in the begining of this thread, I sold mine because the gold color was too dark. The reason I am asking for the pictures is because I want to know if they fixed the gold color on that watch too, or not! I missed mine.

I will post more pictures with 10x loop when I receive the watch. With the current China holidays, it is very hard to tell when I will get it. But as soon as I have it in my hand, I will be posting detailed pictures.

IDK bro, I sure hope I'm wrong but that sure looks silver to me. Sigh... but it's such a tiny space, we sweat over some pretty insignificant stuff sometimes. There's always the gold pen mod.

 

[beanvatan]

KJ2020, how did you get your pen in there? My pen tip is ways too big.

 

[KJ2020]

This is not mine but what you do is make a pool of paint on a piece of plastic, then dip into it with a tiny brush. See this post for more
