ARF silently released new 16610LN's and 16610LV's

@bowtiefanatc THAT SD DIAL THOUGH - wow, it's DREAMY.

Thanks! It’s actually the stock BP dial. I got a gen insert for that one. Waiting on a new VR to swap in since I broke the seconds pinion on the old one

I did like the stealth look with the black hands, I just wish that WSO would get their act together and have better lume on the hands.

I think if I get one, its getting an actual VR or VS movement transplant anyway. As I said earlier, KJ’s verdict is good enough for me.

 

[bowtiefanatc]

I’ll probably grab one and do a 14060 tribute. Yes I know the no date is different, but most people don’t know/care and won’t be dissecting my watch.

It would just be great if it already comes with a VR like Intime's website suggests. Fingers crossed!

Nobody knows but me and mah bros, haha.

Maybe someday I'll sand off the rehaut engraving but tbh even that doesn't bother me. I have too many other unfinished projects to get to it.

Love it! Yeah I have this one, technically my 16600 is a project underway, and a 16570 project that I’m working on. Trying to eat the elephant one bite at a time.

This is me waiting for my QC pics like this wondering how the Non TD who told me he couldn’t get this piece for me got QC pics for other customers…

We laugh because we might otherwise cry…. Especially since we might get bamboozled with RAF/BP Frankensteins with 2813 movements

ohh man i hope i dont find such a surprise in mine

 

[aHero]

Ordered this from my non TD and she came back with RAF. I RL’d because the crown gap was too big. Her supplier insists no ARF.



I don’t care. I just want a VR movement and it to look good.

agreed. who cares if its some no name factory with spare arf/raf parts and a VR mov mixing and matching proper parts.

But seriously, if you can pull of this (promised) level of quality as a factory - you deserve respect in my book.

Yikes that dial date window is noticeably shorter in height than a previous QC and a random gen. Note the white background above and below the numerals. It's the first thing I saw.

It's not a cyclops mag issue either as the numeral height and the window width are OK.

 

[aHero]

These are all over the place.

 

[gtageek]

Damn this will be disappointing if all the date windows are small on the LN versions

Long nose 2 seems gone though….
