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

[munichman]

The only mod I will do is install gen click spring for the bezel as the rep spring has a very different and stiffer feel.

I always read comments like this with great interest, because I´ve never moved the bezel on my Gen once in five years.
I always wonder for what you guys need to move that thing back and forth.
Therefore I really don´t care if the clicks feel smooth(er)/stiff(er) or not.
Or are you constantly diving in your bathtubs?

I use it for timing anything you can think of like meetings, cooking food, parking meters, etc. I find it just as useful as a chronograph.

Arent the photos shared by @shotgun post relume?

Looks close enough to my eye.

That's the beauty of reluming both the hands and dial at the same time. You usually use the same lume^^

 

[Art Vandelay]

Does anyone known if the 16610 kermit hands are the same dimensions as the 116610?

I have a spare set of gen 116610 hands that I've thought about reluming for a kermit franken.

Hour hand is thinner, minute hand is close

No, LV Kermit hands are larger, as are the hour markers..

Thanks, i know the 116610 has maxi dial and hands. As does the kermit.

Given that they're both maxi dial and hands, my question was whether the maxi hands on the 116610 were the same size as the maxi hands on the kermit.

 

[bowtiefanatc]

You could get close by doing a maxi minute & second and standard hr hand

 

[Art Vandelay]

Tbh i'm mainly doing it for the the capped pinion so could make do with seconds hand only. Then a full relume.

Yes I saw the 11 hands after. Sorry bud

Hey buddy all good.

I don't fancy buying gen kernit hands as they seem crazy expensive and I was spoiled by the capped hands on my V7X.

Got the info from 2 TD today that ARF can’t be sourced anymore only RAF available. So no gen spec diameter LV light green fat four insert subs anymore available - right ? Bcs RAF has only pointed four and fat one from BP will not Pressfit gen spec diameter bezel rings …

Is my summary and understanding correct ?
Pls correct me if I’m wrong and thanks for your hints

 

[Sonofalich]

Also interested if these are still available, feel like I'd like to build a 5 digit kermit.

From reading this thread, I do recall that the horotec insert fits gen spec bezels.

Edit: Horlogear

I’m an idiot, I thought this was referring to the cases only. Which are ARF/RAF cases. I’ve had both
