Great to hear !Just did the bezel washed and spring upgrade from @krizzy’s links. World of difference. Just awesome.

Tried both but in my case stacking worked ideallyAre people stacking the tensions washers or just replacing with the new one?
Never handled a gen either but looked YT videos and listen to the gen click - and the new spring was definitely a crisper sound and much closer to gen.I’ve never handled a gen 16610, I only have a gen 16710 so obviously not comparable. But I installed the new clickspring and new washer (not stacked) and didn’t really notice any appreciable difference. Can someon explain how the new click spring and washer are suppose to change the feel? More resistance? More clicky? Less?
Thanks. Yah, I ordered the parts before even getting the watch (they were cheap enough) based on feedback here.Never handled a gen either but looked YT videos and listen to the gen click - and the new spring was definitely a crisper sound and much closer to gen.
By using just one spacer, the bezel was very loose and had some play. After staking both spacers, it was difficult to pur the bezel back but after installing it , all the backplay was gone. Maybe try staking them?
But then again, maybe your 16610 didn't hace any issues to begin with , so that could explain why you didn't notice any difference

Just to update you; I picked up an RAF case which has a rehaut opening of 26.8mm (roughly). The 28.5mm raffles dial seems to slot in nicely and the minute markers at the 6 o’clock area are still showing slightly. I’m pleased with how this looks..
Thank you both for the guidance.
Now I just need a few more bits to arrive and can put her together.

Skit sounds like everyone prefers the ARF subs over Clean and other makers. Is everyone pretty much in agreement on that? Or does it depend on which sub you are ordering?
We should lobby for a vsf 16610
Pardon my ignorance, but was is the the difference between 5 or 6 digits? Does that refer to the model number? I’m looking at the most current Batman/batgirl model. Is there a bezel problem on the 6 digit clean version?I’d like to see some competition trying to make “better and better” 5 digits.
Let’s see a VSF 16613 Bluesy!

5 digits are the older slimmer cases with aluminum inserts. 6 digits are the newer models with ceramic inserts.Pardon my ignorance, but was is the the difference between 5 or 6 digits?

Basically, the 5 digits are older models, produced from the late 80s to late noughties: smaller cases and aluminium inserts.Pardon my ignorance, but was is the the difference between 5 or 6 digits?
