Yes, most of the ones we have all received automatically needed a new click spring and sometimes even a new bezel washer stacked on the one already supplied

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

a question, but has the DW font in the new ARF v2 been corrected or is there still the risk of finding the bold one?
I noticed something today while browsing on Trustytime where there is a demonstration video of both the version with and without Rehaut.
In the version with Rehaut from the video you can clearly see the blue effect of the AR on the Cyclops.
In the one without Rehaut, however, the blue effect on the Cyclops is not there.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's correct based on the years of production. In theory, the version with rehaut should be more recent and therefore have both the AR and the LEC at 6 o'clock. Thank you.

I’ve already write this about this thing few months ago mate
What you have seend it’s correct.Forgive me, I must have missed it.I’ve already write this about this thing few months ago mate
Although we can say that that blue reflection on the AR is an error. It shouldn't exist from what I see on gen right?
I think what has been discussed is that ar cyclops is not anachronistic for the later 5 digits. The later ones were made in the time where Rolex transitioned from no ar to ar so you can make the argument that anything made from 2005 arguably could have an AR cyclops. I think the GMT was first then the subs, then the rest.
I didn't expect this blow and all this attention from ARF. Remarkable. However I am waiting QC for a LN without rehaut V2. what does this V2 concern?
also dw font ?All this, but still a loose bezel.
For the bezel problem do you have to take both washer and spring? Can they be aftermarket? Thanks
Sorry everyone, I've been digging through the BP and ARF threads to try and answer my own question but I can't be sure...
For 16610LV, what are the pros/cons of each factory and which is best overall ootb.
Not sure the ARF is worth about $150 USD more?
I think movement, crystal, bracelet are probably the most important factors for me as I will not be comparing to gen, just want something which will stand up to day to day wear.

If you're definitely not going to mod it, the BP is fine. Arguably better crown guards and now it has a VR movement as well.
@Lolcat9995 this ^^
But change the crystal to another one.
The absolute visible and too big LEC is an absolute tell.
Swap it to some ARF crystal (VSF) or a Swiss grade replacement or clarks crystal.
sta arrivando il mio...non mi sembra affatto male, l'unica cosa che non mi convince sono i SEL
*mine is coming...it doesn't seem bad at all, the only thing that doesn't convince me are the SEL
Sorry for wrong translation

What is wrong with the SEL? Can’t see what is wrong with it, look perfect!

This is true. Compared to the gen I notice the following differences, all of which are terribly minor:
1. As stated the SEL on this release is longer.
2. Case lugs are straight as opposed to slightly curved (this may vary by batch and be a non-issue)
3. The crown guard features slightly pointer outer edges
4. The Cyclops magnification is greater (this too may vary by batch and be a non-issue)
5. The pip's perimeter is a hair thicker
6. Bezel is askew, should align with the center of insert indices.
There may be more, but even the above were a pain to pick apart. It looks really good, I would be happy with it.
