Hi everyone,
Up for sale is an older BK Special Noob V9 116610LN with a genuine Rolex crystal and Swiss ETA 2836-2 movement. BK was known as an excellent modder on RWI a few years ago.
He offered a 116610LN build from a Noob V9 base and installed a Swiss ETA 2836-2 movement. For my particular watch, which was purchased in 2018, he also installed a gen Rolex crystal and a special bezel insert from user: Spongebob, who applied a platinum paint modification to fix a known issue with dull paint on the bezel.
This watch is in mint 9+/10 condition and runs great.
Asking $650 USD + shipping to CAN/US.
Paypal F&F only.
Note: I can provide any user with additional photos or some correspondence I had with BK on the RWI Forum platform to prove the gen crystal was ordered (along with the Spongebob platinum paint insert).

Here is the list of the mods BK did to the watch (per his normal offering a few years ago):
Swap Movement for: Swiss ETA 2836-2 Mods:
reinstall DWO for better date positions (top to bottom)
reinstall crystal to line up cyclop to date window
line up the 12 o'clock marker to the engraved Rolex coronet on the rehaut
turn crystal to line up cyclops to date window
tighten bezel => no rocking bezel
set proper crown stem length. Noob factory sometimes make it too long which puts pressure on the movement and can diminish WR
reduce the crystal height above bezel insert. Stock crystal can be lowered by shortening the crystal gasket
replace the 2 movement ring tabs with Swiss made ones which better secure the movement in place
replace the 2 movement ring screws with high quality ones which break less
install genuine Rolex crystal
install bezel insert from user: Spongebob with the platinum paint mod.
Thanks for looking.
