Anyone bought JF 16610LV Kermit recently?

I saw a picture of another member's QC and it look like the date font is updated to be less bold.

Anyone also bought the watch recently?

Unfortunately, the datewheel still needs alot of work. Although, somewhat better than before.

I am picking up a green faded insert from a local watch guy in Vancouver this weekend, he has few greyghosts ones aswell so I might pick a couple instead. Already ordered 2 jf 16610V a while ago and its reserved for this project. Will post it at RWI/Repgeek hopefully end of the weekend or early next week when its ready.

I dont think there is a replica version of it. You can only find gen ones. They usually are in not so good condition and crazily priced.

They may have updated it, but not particularly for the better. Looks even worse if that's possible

I bought one recently and the date wheel font isn't great. I can live with it because I have shite eyes, but it's worse as it gets into double figures.

Agreed, it has taken a turn for the worse.

It is worse. On my qc pics, the double digit date have a huge space in the middle.
