As far as I know, the gen LV had about 5 generations of inserts, 4 generations of dial, and 2 types of rehauts. The most distinctive bezel change was from the olive-ish green fat 4 bezel to the more grass-green pointed 4 bezel. There are no early bezel + RRR LVs, but there are legit LVs that have the newer, grass-green pointed 4 bezels, but don't have the engraved rehaut yet. What I understood from @jtimewatch - he could source three versions:Interesting enough the RRR and no RRR appear to have very different insert color. I already seen a couple of those in the flesh and they have horribly high crystals.
I think some merger or agreement must had occurred but that certainly is not an SH as we know them.So then what is the SH we all know and hate then? lol
Correct (mine is in fact a mk6) what amazes me is that rep factories bothers to install 2 different inserts lolAs far as I know, the gen LV had about 5 generations of inserts, 4 generations of dial, and 2 types of rehauts.

And I'm sure our chinese friends can cook up a fat 4 bezel + RRR rehaut, but it would be historically incorrect. Although, a gen owner could take their later mark, engraved rehaut 16610 LV and pop in the early bezel (and piss off all the Rolex purists) - it wouldn't be "correct" but still really all Rolex.
- fat 4 bezel + no RRR rehaut
- sharp 4 bezel + no RRR rehaut
- sharp 4 bezel + yes RRR rehaut
I sent a PM.

Does the bracelet need an oil bath?So here it is
I took a couple of movement pics for you guys. The wind is smooth, the bezel action is okay, with a bit of backplay, but not as bad as the old ones. Bracelet etc. is the same as the first batch I had a couple of years ago.
I do think the CG looks better on this one, a bit longer.
Well I had a look, but I do prefer my LN, so it’s a catch and release for me

No bracelet on any watch ever needs an oil bath. i don't know why people keep doing this. Its baby oil, it will do absolutely nothing to a steel braceletDoes the bracelet need an oil bath?

If your bracelet is squeaky, wash it with a shampoo/conditioner, the silicone will lubricate your bracelet, without an oil build up![]()
What’s your method for applying this? Do you only do it when the bracelet is squeaky or stiff at the screws?or...

How good is the Ginault bracelet compared to VSF/CLEAN 6 digit bracelet?I put a Ginault bracelet ($200 new from Ginault) on my TC. The SEL fit is perfect and as you know the bracelet is superior quality. Swap over a signed glidelock to complete the look if you want or use the TC clasp. I love the glidelock, I've used one on my gen 16710 for years now.
