Hi all,
Recently I’ve bought my first replica 1:1 CF 116610 with VS3136 with ARF bracelet and everything is perfect to my taste - except crystal glass. I have GEN watches from Omega and IWC and difference in clarity of crystal glass is huge. Could please somebody confirm that crystal glass can be replaced from GEN to this CF?

It can. Quite common mod in fact.

Is there anyone notice the different color between lume pip and hour marker?
My lume pip is yellowish than the hour marker

The difference will still be there as Omega uses double AR but this Rolex model has no AR at all except only on the cyclops.

Yep, thanks. Actually I’ve checked and indeed Rolex has for 116610 only cyclope AR, while my Seamaster 300 has whole glass AR.

Additional question regarding replica glass. On my CF I think it pops too much outside if checking from the side profile.
I’ve checked some GEN 116610 photos and videos and meanwhile all of them had glass inserted more deeper into watch case.
While I do saw on some GEN 16610 and 126610 that glass sometimes looks exactly like mine. Is it happens on GEN 116610 to have glass like that on photo?

the gen are often very different from each other as regards the height of the glass, this also determines the different magnification of the date in the cyclops lens. Those that have the tallest glass will also have a higher magnification of the date.

Hello, I have a 116610LN with VR3135. And I have no problems with it. I want to sell it and buy a new batch of 116610. I know that they use the latest VS3135 movement. Are there any more changes? Is it worth it just for the VS3135? I have no experience with VS movement.
