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

[Nur-Uhr]

Don't get too excited over the good amplitude on the Timegrapher pics.

I've had SH/SA movements run great on paper and then... Boom.

I am seriously hoping they are VR movements out of the box.

Great pictures so far.

Unfortunatelly these SH3135 were all timebombs ... Even after some service works.
The only reliable SH3135 movement I have, is the one with a lot of necessary GEN parts... But to be honest, I would not do this anymore.
The better and cheaper route is to remove a SH and put a VR/VS inside and everything is fine.

These SH were the first real clone movements years ago and cause of GEN parts you can use - the great hype when they were new on the market

I just approved mine, looks so good!

I know it and remember it well. Here's hoping that we don't need to get a new one for these.

No one has asked for movement pics yet?

damn, keep them QC coming!

All look very very good. The new "arf" really seems to have a good QC.

Lets see who has it first in hand

My timegrapher shows +7s

Hoping it sticks. VR's are awesome movements.

Personally, I've never cared about being within COSC. I switch watches within 2 or 3 days max, so don't practically notice the difference between +1 and +7

Of course, +28 or -34 are a whole different story. But to me, it's most important that the damn movement doesn't break down after a year, or stops auto-winding, etc.

That’s a great point and a great reminder that it isn’t so bad! Thanks!

name checks out

Are the new LN's as good as the LV's?

 

[psssniper]

I asked to see a movement pic. We’ll see how that goes.

@KJ2020

Sharing all my qc pics:

Wow!!!this one have mk1 dial “Swiss Made” large same to fat four and insert is similar to fat four..
Correct holes to second hand and nice GC…
Very nice LV

 

[Carrick1]

Got this as a reply from a TD when I asked if the new ARF had a SH or VR movement-
“Please note that SH and VR3135 movements are the same and they come from Shanghai”

Are they right?

I just got my qc pics for the LN but it looks like the RAF with no long 2 (on 20) and the sticking out crown tube. TD said this was all they can source.... disappointing
