Hi,

Would it be possible to see a side view of the clasp, when opened?
I'd like to know if the pin alignement is still off on ARF, look at the difference between GEN and JF (gen on top):

Thanks for your gen clasp pics. Here’s the JF and ARF side by side. Does the ARF 904 clasp have the correct pin hole configuration like the gen?

Ah, great!

ARF Clasp is an improvement over JF. Better engraving, better top case, better flip lock (the path for the pin lock in the inside was very rough on JF, seems better now). Note sure a gen one is a big improvement now.
Combined with the fact that bezel accept gen insert without modding the whole watch seems to be an improvement if you plan to use it as a franken base.


That’s great to hear!
Thanks for the other link,are you know if there’s some other threads about 16610LV

but indeed it’s not a watch for people who’re after direct OOTB piece..
But it’s such a great Franken base!
I surely will do a LN version as well
I hope they’re going to make more 5 digits like a Pepsi!

Do I need advice where can I find a Bertolli B3 aftermarket insert?

Bertolli insert it’s the nickname for the olive green, the lighter of all of them and they are really hard and expensive to get (specially if it’s a flat 4)

I always liked the color of the BP insert and maybe it’s the most similar to the lighter gen if it’s the one you are looking for

Would you please share your QC pics. Curious if anything else has changed. Thanks.
