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

[wubsub]

I received LN a few days ago... what can I say, beautiful, really well made in my opinion. Same weight as gen 135 gr, shines like a gen. The bezel is not as indecent as they say, the sound is crap, but I ordered a new spring, I hope it fixes it. In your opinion, how can it be filed to slightly smooth out the sharp edges of the bracelet, lugs and bezels?

yes. the bezel is kinda thick compared to gen as well.

Does your tube stick out, creating a slight gap between crown and case?

@cheeewsoap yes slightly, but gen is like that too

@wubsub how do you say that? Have you measured and compared them?

Thank you for your help..but wanted this 93250,the first series..

Is this a gen one? I thought the first series that were stamped 93250 on the first link only come with 801 end links without the grooves to help remove them on a T case ?

Does no one look at the diver extension on this pos? Am I the only one who got a piece of junk?

 

[aHero]

I just pulled the trigger on this over the BP alternative. The dial and no rehaut engraving were deal breakers for me.

Yes this one in pictures is gen,but factory noob 15 years ago produced this bracelet and other factories did it too…I'm looking for it because I don't want to buy a gen bracelet

Which grain ? 2000-3000 ?

arf vs gen

in my opinion the bezel also changes based on the years of production, this certainly more recent one (given the rehaut and the absence of holes) seems thicker than the one posted by you.



Do you think a gen ring fits on the ARF?

I used cape cod for the bracelet but I didn’t have many sharp edges to begin with.

New spring and second washer is a world of difference.

New spring and second washer is a world of difference.

…or you can bend in 3 places the second washer, and shorten the original spring..
and save a few €

Doesn't it solve the problem just with the spring? The bezel is stable for me, it's the click that's disgusting. If so, where did you get the second washer? link please.

but isn't capecod just for polishing?
