Sorry guys for an agressive slide in but...
I’m actually planning on putting my jf16610ln on m2m next week. Its a no rehaut later version, gen insert and dw installed, serviced.
beautiful.
(its an LN not LV but nevertheless)
keep your eyes open

There you go Manuel.b add to it a BP dial and an ARF insert and you're good to go

I have been following these factories for some time.
ARF has disappointed me with the quality of its latest 16610 products.
JF is almost unobtainable.
BP is very good value for money.
I would like a TC ahahah!!! Too much to ask!?!?

I know the feeling. Been keeping my TC LV for the past 6+ years and also got it heavily franken (Swiss eta, lot of gen parts) but this thread made me pull the trigger. I let you guess my expectations after the QC pics... I have no doubt I’ll sell the TC in case of a 100% match

I will definitely follow this story... if my wallet allows it!
But now we'd better get back to the original topic of discussion!

The stock VSF watch was a bit too blingy for my daily needs with the reflection on the crystal so I got from Prof a double AR crystal and now it’s just perfect for me and it really brings out the beautiful blackness of the dial.

Anyone have issues when changing the date? Mine get hung up and if it does change it doesn’t snap into spot it feels free. Typically I just wear my watches and don’t wind them or change the date but I do like them to function properly.

This is common issue with latest batch. Unfortunately almost all 126610 from new batch have date change issues. My LV date is perfectly centered when I change it using crown but when it advance by itself at midnight it sits too low I’m the window.
I think 126610s from 1st batch were constructed better.

Good choice.

...you wait too long to order a watch because you think some flaws will be fixed. then they are partly fixed but now there is the new "date problem"

why me?

I suffer from the same syndrome as you! :headdesk:

Paying such a tiny fraction of Gen price (which can still have issues) makes this syndrome a little easier to live with though :xj4:

Good comparison - visually, but the guy can be muted as his observations are confused and messy.

I wonder if a service job would fix this issue. I have not noticed a centering issue just a hang up or almost free spinning feeling.

a slightly OT question ... have you noticed that new gen rolex crystal have a brown reflection?

I would honestly recommend doing the exact opposite. Get it serviced BEFORE wearing it for some years, knowing it’s going to last and run great.
I serviced an ARF Sea Dweller, when it was probably half a year old, ran otherwise great, but the movement was already on its way out, due to some debris from the factory grinding everything to dust...
I took a macro shot

absolutely agree, i just received a bad VR3135, very rough ratchet driving wheel, metal shavings all around it and already debris on its jewel although it just ran the 10 or 14days from china to my home. I could feel the bad wheel while winding and without service i think this movement would crap out within weeks or even days..
