Up for discussion is my Rolex 116713 LN - two tone - affectionately known as Bumblebee.
This watch has been on my hunting list for a while and I managed to acquire it recently but am now trying to figure it out in my rotation. First off, its biggest problem for me is condition. It is in MINT condition - and I generally prefer a watch with a few scratches on it so I don't have to be too OCD about putting the first real wear into a watch. The watch has no scratches or flea bites - even the polished centre links are in mint condition. There is still a sticker on the inner clasp...
This is a Canadian watch, purchased from an AD in November 2016, with full kit and cards, minus the cardboard boxes. So you are looking at almost 4.5years of warranty remaining.
While I love the watch - I am also hankering for a Bluesy or maybe a Daytona or heck, even a TT with more wear! So while I try to figure out if this is a keeper, I am going to offer it up to CWC to see if there is an interesting trade out there - otherwise I will put the first scratch on this beauty. Value set at $12,750.
Best,
Galen
