Offering my beautiful 116619lb NoobV7 "Smurf" for sale. Excellent condition, Great Price ! I'm currently having to "thin out" my collection of gens and reps.
This "Blue Diver" is one of my top 5 favorites. Runs great, date changes at midnight, crown turns smooth (like butter). I had Strodda install a Swiss Eta 2836 I purchased just for this watch. Strodda modded the 2836 for even smoother running and winding with longer reserve by replacing the pallet fork and a larger barrel as well as sonically cleaning and oiling the auto wind mechanism. He also pressure tested and water proofed it to 3atm, set and re-pressed the bezel and xstal, worked the rehaut to gen like specs. Strodda also centered the dwo, and centered the pearl.
I also replaced the original insert with an improved version I purchased from BK and then did my own platinum mod to the insert. While Strodda had the watch, he noted to me that this new insert had a true pearl and glass z.
I also completed some light reshaping to the case at the lugs and crown guards and enchanced the case bevel, rebrushed and polished using my gen 116610LN as reference. Next I buffed and smoothed out any sharp edges on the clasp and bracelet, treated it with a silicone based marine grade oil for a week before I beveled the bracelet and clasp then rebrushed and polished the bracelet and clasp. Lastly I reworked the inner clasp tracks and tightened the rather loose and wobbly slide adjustment and treated it with a silicone gear grease for a smoother operating clasp adjustment.
SALES DISCLOSURE
This is a used watch, purchased via m2m on RWI, July 2017. Although I've dedicated a lot of time and expense to make the watch as good as it can be, there are light scratches on the case, bracelet and clasp. They are easily buffed away, but return easily due to the highly polished center links. There is also a very, very small on the crown side of the case. It is only visible under certain angles and light. I never noticed it until I took the photos for this sale. I've tried to show the dent and any minute scratches via the photos.
There is also a slight discoloration to the dial edge close to the 7/8 numerals. Again, never noticed until loading these photos. Not noticable on the wrist. Last, there is a very small dent on one side of the clasp also barely visible with certain angles and light.
INCLUDED IN SALE
I am including an extra "Smurf" dial that was removed from a Noob V6(stated by seller) Smurf I purchased for parts in case the buyer wants to swap out the current dial. Plus an unused blue rubber B band with a deployment style Rolex (rep)clasp. The clasp has been used, works and in very good condition, save a few scratches from desk diving/normal wear. The Rubber b looks great on the watch.

Noticed in the photos that the bezel insert paint mod needed to be redone.
So had the old mod paint removed and completely redone:

@muscles, list as WIthdrawn, please. I give up. Don't understand why such a nice watch plus extras priced so cheap wouldn't sell.
Maybe relist it later in the summer.
Thanks, Boss!
