Also when you put the raffles dial (look of the 14060 dial) into a BP / JF ... case for a 16610 = it would not look like a 14060 :-(
The cases are too different and also the bezel.
The complete look is different - the 16610 looks bulky compared to the 14060

True but I think it would satisfy many of us. Close enough for rock n roll.

It could be a trial to source this watch from Michelle (Silix)
On the pictures itself the rep 14060 does not look good.

The watch needs some work / moddings
- case reshape (look at the profile) and lug reshape
- lug holes = as you mentiones correctly
- bezel reshape -> too fat, should be thinned

Than this watch could look good. But I am not sure cause of dimension, Silix write it has a diameter of 41 ...
But for USD 258,- it would be a nice project.

Rehaut engravings are very easy to remove with some different grades of sandpaper and some polishing. I’m the other way around, I wish I could find more 16610 cases WITH lug holes. Haha. The best 16610 with no holes and no rehaut is either the discontinued TC or the JF which is a bit cheaper.

What do you think of this?

Same as in my former post.
The case and caseshape and diameter is not like the 14060.

Reffering to the watch from Silix (looks identical to the linked one)

It's true: 14060m vs 114060
