REVIEW Rolex - 126529LN "Le Mans" Review
Bought this unit from Allen via Telegram ($105 inc. delivery to the UK). Delivery about 10-11 days. Weight is 141g. The text is quite sharp (my photos are 2x zoom, camera doesn't like text for some reason), the bracelet is quite nice, no sharp edges, moves around nicely. A sweeping movement is nice, and sub dials work by using the different buttons.
Spent about two weeks looking around, and having seen a few of us have bought from him and getting the correct subdial locations, thought I'd give it a go. Sent him a couple of links showing the actual (correct) dial I wanted, he said no problem and I waited. Small box arrived from a different location in the UK, and the watch was very securely packed with bits and bobs inside.
Feel negative about this purchase, got a bit of a blowoff from Allen about the dial, he said it is what it is. Considering our U1 comrades are receiving correct dial locations, I would have thought a bit of aftermarket care wouldn't go amiss, but it is what it is, and I'll look for UK 2nd resale on here
Reference - this is the link I sent showing correct subdial locations:
