Rolex submariner 116613LB

[Ferax]

Bought the bluesy from Nikz. The watch is a stunner! Absolutely love it. The gold plating is outstanding. The crystal and dw are gen. It is the most beautiful watch that I own but after the first day of use there already is a dent on one of the lugs. So unlucky
I surely will come back for more from Nikz!

 

[dieguezzz]

that dent on the top right? damn that sucks... but in hindsight you started to give it character right away did you use it much in 2023? how's the plating now?

 

[Ferax]

Yeah, that dent really sucks. But you cannot see it on the wrist, its only visible on these pics
Sadly, the bezel is broken at the 50 mark. Nikz told me that he will change it. I must contact him.
Overall I am very happy with this watch. It is absolutely georgeus. The gold plating looks like new

 

[dieguezzz]

Very nice! Im 37 but Im waiting for it like a 8 year old for his christmas present

Since everyone keeps calling it cheddar cheese yellow watch, I will also plate it before summer 2024, and we will nickname it "Bumblebee" like it deserves, enjoy it

it's a beauty! these watches look identical. can you tell me who Nikz is and does this watch come with an Asian movement?
a link to the website where you bought it is helpful.

thanks,
Vina

Just a little update. Nikz said that he will replace the broken bezel since it was broken from the beginning. But there is absolutely no contact with Nikz. So I will try to change the bezel on my own. A bit dissapointing to be honest.
However, overall the watch is still a beauty.

Nik was a trusted watchsmith here. He did really good work. But unfortunately lot of issues in the last months, hope he will be back soon

Nikz19 is no longer a Supporting Vendor on RWI. Dealing with him is at your own risk - there will be no assistance from RWI staff if you have issues with him.

 

[Ferax]

Got it.
While I was dealing with him, he was a supporting vendor. It's a pity that things turned out this way.
I am a bit scared that I will try to change it on my own, but what can I do

When did you purchase the watch - is this recent ?

Where did this transaction take place - on RWI or his website ?

 

[Ferax]

No. I received the watch in 2023. Here, at RWI.

But I did not notice that the bezel was broken. One of the RWI users has spotted the broken bezel while checking my pics. Since then I tried to contact Nikz. He said that he will replace the bezel because it was broken from the beginning. But when I asked for the shipping address he did not answer.
