No. It has to be built... Easiest way is to get the 16610LV and swap the insert to black...

Thanks for answering. I guess the insert would have to come from the same factory as the LV then? I believe they come in slightly different sizes.

You have a couple of options:

1. You can try to have the TD source you an LN insert when you get the 16610LV... I'm not sure the cost.

2. You can source an LN insert from m2m... The #1 upgrade is the insert so rep inserts pop up all the time (same for gen for that matter)...

Depending on the factory - the bezel will be gen spec and the inserts will pop in and out without much issue... Assuming you're looking at the JF16610...

Does the gen insert fit the JF? It would be a nice upgrade. My tc says hi

Well, I did it. Thanks.

I bought the 16610LV 'Kermit' Anniversary on M2M sales, no idea what factory but I believe it came from TrustyTime.

I bought the LN insert from HNS Watchstraps.

I loved this look initially, but I've reverted back to having the traditional dial and hands with my LN

It feels more refined

Dammit! That looks nice. Got me thinking now. I need one of each. If I do, it will be a BP 16610LN with the Miyota 9015 movement.
