Unfortunately I haven’t gotten any sample QC pics, but have been told the by TT that the DW font is better. I’m quite close on pulling the trigger, or wait till an updated 126660 with an Asian ETA version.

I heard Angus talking that ARF using the 2824 was a mistake in the past so they would rather concentrate on the SH movements in future.

I wonder if the high crystal can be fixed.

Thanks for your input Rob! Any ideas/rumours of when the updated 126660 will be released? I heard marginal wrist sizes suitable for the DSSD is better fitted with the older 116660 bracelet size

it would not make much business sense for the factories to release 126660 until they have milked the updated version 116660 sales...but who knows.

I didn’t want to wait and see, so I’ve ordered the 116660.

The only thing that really annoys me with all ARF divers is the brilliant white lume...and the 6 , 9 and 12 hour surrounds (too flat).

Nope...except with big modifications. The best way would be a lowered crystal. Everything else is hard work on the inner Ring/Caseback etc...every part depends on each other when assembling. So if you press the crystal in you can’t screw down the Caseback fully.

Thats my thought too!! First sell the 116660 off...
Maybe they use the updated Dial for the 126660 also, so this would make sense that the 116660 got that improvement.

who knows...we have to wait :/

I am on the same boat as you guys, I'm going to help milk the remaining 116660 stock lol, ordering today from TT.

Is that even the ARF version? The ceramic bezel looks way to small normally it fits perfectly with the case here you see that the ceramic bezel is smaller than the case itself which is normally not happening with ARF (more on noob versions).

What exactly do you mean? I guess it‘s the Shitty Light from above on TT QC pics...its a shadow, looking like a gap.

check some posts before there are pics from a Member who got it - Insert is 100%

I mean the size of the insert look at the outside and then the case or the insert is to low that could also be the case. I don't see that problem on the other pictures to be honest.

Exactly looks like the ceramic insert sits to low (maybe thats why the crystal is to heigh).
