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

[aHero]

Can anyone recommend some nice non-gen hands that I can use to add faux patina to?

Will these work or are there better options?

Does anyone know if a bezel (not insert) gen ring fits on ARF?

 

[Geonor]

Yes gen bezel assembly fits on the ARF

 

[Zen_der]

Yes gen bezel assembly fits on the ARF

Does only the bezel fit or should I also get the retaining ring?

no one knows?

I have a Gen Crystal, Bezel Insert and Crown, would they fit on the ARF?

Thanks

Update on the WSO/watchbandman bezel,
The quality seems pretty poor, it’s fully polished and the finish looks cheap. The inner teeth look quite bad too...I think this will be going straight back.

this looks really bad. Yes, back where it came from.
You can try the Bezel from Startime maybe?

Yeah that could be an option, are these much better ?

I might just stick with the stock bezel and get some fine files and have a go at improving the teeth myself..

The bezel gen should arrive in a few days, I hope it fits without any particular moss. luckily there is also the gen retaining ring, but in that case I would have to turn to a watchmaker

better than WSO i think yes, but if it does a good job i have no experience.

What is the price on it?

Last time I tried to set up an account they said I couldn’t because I wasn’t a watchmaker.

I wonder how the TC Sub compares to this ARF 16610
I know TC is not 904L and TC movement is no VR3135.

Other than that, How does it compares?

Thanks

 

[Yellowsubmarine]

It’s a bit like the film twins..
The arf is the DeVito…

The tc is a classic.. basically a myth these days

Can I use your photos to compare it with a TC and WM9?

 

[freeflypr]

Here is a little comparison between ARF - WM9 - TC
Sorry for the dirty and beaten photos of the WM9 & TC
I have weared them a lot, no polishing and little cleaning (the WM9 even has some spray paint on it) I just beat them!

1. BK WM9 (2010)
Gen Crystal
Gen Crown
Bezel WM9 or TC (not 100% sure if its the TC or WM9 it fell and bent with the Gen insert)
TC 16610 LV V2 inserts


2. TC Sub (2016)
Gen Bezel Insert (damaged under the pearl from a fall, barely noticeable from naked eye, just noticed it with this photos)
KH grade LV dial
TC 93250 V6 bracelet
TC DWO V4,
TC 16610LV hands set V2
Bezel WM9 or TC with upgraded bezel assembly (not 100% sure if its the TC or WM9) fell and bent with the Gen insert)


3. ARF (from Shotgun Photo) Thanks and Hope you dont mind!

Need help deciding what to do?
What do you think about the 3 dials?
What do you think about the 3 bezels?

I'm not sure if I should get a new ARF and istall the Gen Crystal, Insert and Crown.
Or just install the Gen Crystal and Crown on the TC.
Plus maybe get a VR3135 (if possible) and install it to the TC.
Also I would like to get a good Bezel to replace the damaged one installed on the WM9 (who sells the best bezel?)

Plus maybe get a VR3135 or VS3135 (if possible) and install it to the TC.
