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

[pompompurin]

Heh, I figured as much. Someone's going to get an awesome piece for sure.

Hey I'm curious about lume on the LN - can you comment on its quality? Mainly wondering if the hands and dial lume match. I'm sure you've seen the LV mismatch in both daylight and dark environments.

Under bright sunlight, the lume of the stock hands are whiter than the lume on the stock dial. Same problem, but I don't think it is too serious for me

Does anyone know of a TD who will sell just case and bracelet? I've got some gen parts looking for a home.

 

[Timmer]

Not a TD, but there is a Alibaba vendor (Sillan) that sells what I believe are the RAF version 16610 cases for $200 a piece. I went this route to build both an LV and LN, as I get more satisfaction out of the building process.

I've been looking at the Sillian store before for parts but never bought from them. Guessing it's the same one.

Please post some pictures once you receive them

I've received my ln. Initial thoughts, hands very slightly whiter than dial (dial lume looks a good colour though). It's not very noticeable though. I'm pleased with mine despite a couple of flaws.

It may be the angle of the photos but the CGs look quite short on that one - how do they look in person?

I think its the angle and reflection of the light. It is about the same as my old JF (ln pic below) but shorter than my old TC (lv below)

How about the size of the pearl?

Difference in lume doesn't seem as bad to me

Which TDs will sell parts separately? I would be interested in purchasing just the dial, insert, and handset

Beauty i’ve ordered the same! The lume in the dark match the brightness between dial and hands or not like LV version?

LV lume on the Jubilee

A bit out of focus but this is a RAF lv

Nitpick: I believe the lume rectangles on the hour and minute hands should be equivalent width on the LN (please, someone correct me if I’m weong). On this watch it seems like the minute hand is a tad too narrow. The JF you posted pictures of looks like it has the hand with correct.

Wondering if they'll have an improved V2 anytime soon.
