Up for your consideration is a noob v5 116610LN supplied by BK with gen parts added. This watch was purchased new in April 2016 has a fair amount of use. It was rebrushed by blackwoods watch mods in November and retouched in February. In february it also had the scalops brushed to appear more like the gen machining marks. see comparison thread I wrote here: https://www.horologyboard.com/threads/subc-rebrush-and-scallop-work-impressive-end-results.518/ It has the following genuine components installed, Genuine insert, crystal (AR/LEC) and 704 crown, crystal and insert installed by misiekiped, crown installed by 14060 or 16610? and water resistance verified to 6 ATM. Movement is an ETA, which for now I’ll leave as stated as I would prefer not to open the caseback and risk loosing the water resistance. I will PM a copy of the purchase thread to the mods and if accepted, then we can change this to confirmed. This watch has been used swimming a couple time weekly and on multiple vacations for more then a year without issue. Keeps excellent time to within COSC specs (realistically runs on average +1 to -3 seconds per day under most circumstances). Two extra links provided as pictured. Asking $1600 via PP gift, no notes, shipped via USPS flat rate with tracking and signature required, CONUS only please for now. Usual disclaimers apply, this is a rep, no implied or expressed warranty, no returns or refunds offered, no guarantee of water resistance offered as I have no way to verify misuse. Issues to note are there are some hairline marks in the insert, see pictures as I’ve tried to capture them and the bracelet has some flex from use. Watch has been worn regularly therefore do not expect a new condition piece. If any prospective buyers would like an opinion on the piece, @BackwoodsJon has had this in hand within the last month and can give you his honest assessment. I have taken good care of this and may withdraw the sale as I’m on the fence, but I‘ve got my eye on something else right now and I have alot of overlap between this, my GMT franken and TC. Any questions not addressed, please ask via PM. Two extra links will be included and the original platinum modded insert will as well so if the new owner wishes, they can part out the insert and still have a complete watch. I choose the buyer, preference given for friends and those who I’ve done business with before, and with this high value sale I will keep it as diplomat only for now. Thank you for looking!

I'm honestly surprised it's still here at this price as well. It would cost over $2k to duplicate it, and even then no guarantees that water resistance can be achieved, that you'll have good even lume, or if the bezel will be nice and tight with a good solid click. Thanks for the kind words!.
Don't see how this hasn't sold..
