Hey guys, below attached is my qc of the JF 16610 LV, at first everything looks fine but the date wheel looks awful. Were gens made which such date wheels? Or is this a common flaw with these models? Should this be an RL or a GL ?Please check the attached link
thanks in advance.

Yea I’d just accept. JF date wheels are going to be bold and in the wrong font. Get a gen DW and xtal and you’re golden.

If you're happy with everything else. I'd go for it. Date wheel can be fixed either with genuine or buying an overlay from someone like BK.

You won't get a better one, sadly. They all suck, will need a replacement DW. Gen on left.

Honestly a gen crystal won't make much of a difference, given that the period correct crystal for a 16610 with no rehaut engraving has no AR under the Cyclop
