He's a very experienced watchmaker, worked for over 30 years on Rolex, Patek etc. I think he refers to how it's built and the qualtiy of the materials used. It's ofcourse a bit weird that screws are lose and the balance plate was crooked. I think it's wise for everyone, if possible, to have to watch examined and serviced.
However, the movement looks great to my untrained eyes.
Well , there are conflicting opinions.
I had a complete check done by a watchmaker who works exclusively with Rolly. On an aesthetic level he told me that he is superb.
And , having taken apart the 3235 to check everything , he told me that the colors of the gems are different , the materials are good , but not as good as the gen. Currently he has never seen anything like it.
Only with Franken from 2.500 Euro upwards. He especially told me that the color used for the bezel is fantastic. He has peach shades depending on how you tilt the watch under the light.
It would be enough to change Bridge + Balance Whell and it would be really extremely almost perfect.
But take my curiosity away , has anyone ever asked you to open the watch with the Bergeons and show him the 3235.....?
It never happened to me.
Ah , now the watch after the revision of the caliber runs at -3 per day , water resistance at 5 Bar and a perfect "click" of the bezel.
And this for 650 Euro...Watch + Shipping + Check.
Better than spending 12/14 K to get the gen one , as if you want to buy it , now this is the market price.....:frusty:
The Rolesor 116613 costs you less , absurd......!
In fact , I 've the idea in my mind to sell the 126610LN and buy the VSF 116613 version with the 3135 Blue Rolesor.
It would be less noticeable on the wrist than the brand new 126610LN/LV Stainless Steel....... :O
