Yes mate. Thats the one - but I got mine with a 2824. One last thing - they bezel action on a lot of these is ghastly. But you'll have fun sourcing click...

If Guru says there no AR, I'm inclined to believe it. My first reaction was that it didn't but I'm torn because the dial does have a great clarity....

[muiramas]

I would start looking in 2 places.

The TS Watch site has lots of the older models all neatly in one place. They are not a TD, so just send...

I understood that the 1LQ is newer and someone also said it had better finishing and a narrower clasp (.5mm)
I had to re-finish my H7Z as I found...

I’ll have another look tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will afford me some better conditions, and I’ll shoot with an SLR as well.

I see...

I’ll have a look now. It’s dark here so will be with a halogen...give me 20.

Edit:

Not a great comparison,...

[muiramas]

I think it would end up just the same as this thread.

[muiramas]

fatarms described this best. AR on the inside does not really reduce glare - light will bounce off outside of the crystal the same as it always did. It...

Thanks for this. If the difference in the bracelet is significant I may order a new one (the bracelet is available). Strangely, I can't find a gen review...

[muiramas]

Yes, I know! It wasn't my pic, and I never posted it originally.

I just re-posted it from earlier as rcom440 / Mr.Paneristi had referenced...

I had to do a lot of re-finishing on the VSF clasp - it was really sharp, especially around the flip lock. The inside edges of the bracelet are also sharp,...

It's getting more time than the 116610 actually. More comfortable. I really like the glossy dial against the green bezel.
Not sure if I will get...

I think this is the one you mean?

Sure. when you wind the watch does it give you the feeling that you are winding it, or that when you turn the crown is it more like spinning the gears...

[muiramas]

Do you hear it clicking when you wind it? If the winding action is stiff and you hear a shhhhh shhhhhh noise it can be the reversing gears on the way...

[muiramas]

Looks OK. Rolex typography (Gen) is nothing to write home about at the best of times.

My biggest hope for this watch is the links on the...

[muiramas]

Not great, Not terrible. Within the max scope of an standard grade ETA, but only just.

It may have become magnetised in transit - you can...

[muiramas]

No. Don’t do it. They are trash....

[muiramas]

That rhodium dial looks amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on the version with jubilee.

[muiramas]

The lugs are every bit as sharp as the VSF 116610. It can be common for light to 'wrap' around the edge of a brushed surface. You'll see the same with...
