Have placed an order for ARF 16610LN.
Have almost all gen parts ready :
complete bezel assembly
insert SL
hands SL
Xtal
DW
Crown
Clickspring
VS3135
Only looking for a Swiss only dial and base watch to arrive.
Are all these parts a straight fit on a ARF V2 case?

You should be good to go, the case is gen spec so you shouldn’t have any problems.

I did the same thing as you (I added a gen 93150 bracelet and holes in the lugs) and the watchmaker who assembled everything for me had problems with the bezel group, in particular the bezel that did not turn.
The entire bezel group was obviously original, I don't know if perhaps over the years they changed the measurements of these.
Anyway tripdog with some modifications managed to solve the problem. The bezel turns, not perfectly, but it turns.
At some point it's just like any other hobby. People pay tens of thousands for custom road bikes they only take out a few times a year to show the neighborhood or pay millions for pokemon cards for instance.
It's like buiding a JDM car or a gaming computer. Sourcing parts and putting it together is the fun part.
Got this one but the 6:00 is a bit more noticeable than I’d like.. does anybody know where I can buy a BP or ARF LV dial? Everything else seems really great and in order but now I can’t get over the misalignment
Personally prefer no rehaut engravings.

Do you have some straight on photos of the dial right in front of it?
It doesn’t look very crooked inside the elevator in this photo..
Does the lume of the dial match well to the hands under indoor light, outdoor and in the dark?

I just got QC and the same issue with the 6 being noticeably crooked. :/
I was going to pull the trigger on one of these but they said the black ones are out of stock. Anyone else having sourcing issues? Oh well, guess it will be my next one
Here is a more straight on photo.. the 6:00 marker has a noticeable clockwise tilt that was hidden in the QC photos (creative angling I guess…)
Dial color, lume, hand color all match up flawlessly in all lighting conditions. Just a bummer about the 6 marker since green lume maxi dials are harder to source for these LV models..
Another user says they had the same issue with a 6:00 tilt… I ordered a new dial from a TD and they sent me a dial QC in which that dial ALSO had a slightly tilted 6:00. Rejected and waiting again.. Seems like there is a production problem with current batches.
Best photo I could find on my phone.

How to fix crooked markers - DIY
We've all gotten a rep with crooked markers. you swear you won't let it happen again and then it does, arghh. So, what to do? Time for a little marker surgery. Here's the patient. The 6 marker is crooked anti-clockwise. The 12 marker is also - I would have let that one go but while I'm at it I...
