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

[bowtiefanatc]

Anyone know where I can find a BP 16610LN? Can’t seem to find from TDs.

Just be careful, they have been coming with bad cases & wrong bracelets lately.

I’m torn between ARF and BF — finding mixed reviews from each. Obviously a decent price difference. Any direction or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Arf 100% over BP for me. But I just build mine these days.

Ok noted. Honestly just looking for the best “straight out of the box” 16610.

ARF best bet. If you want to know there are multiple threads including this one you are in.

FYI The hooked 2 is a characteristic of the ARF 16610 v2.

Yes, for whatever reason they made that decision. Call me anal

I get that. But there should be also viable options for those folks who something decent out of the box. For me that was and still is the BP 16610LN.

I'd 100% swap with a genuine insert, theyre cheap enough.

My point is that you could red light 1 thousand of these in a row and every single one will have the same inherent characteristic / flaw.

OK, I never found these bezel inserts cheap… but that might be just me.

You can find good deals on the forum. I saw a few selling for $100-150... that's fairly cheap

And that was only last week.

Fiery gems on ebay are worth checking out.

 

[Xcalm]

Too much imo. But to each his own.

Looking for no rehaut

Looking for no rehaut

All BPs have an engraved rehaut.

Have you tried messaging any TDs?

Only Hont — fairly new to this so not entirely sure who to reach out to.
