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

[Karbon74]

Have any of you guys here tried to age the ARF 16610LN dial?

I was thinking to put it a bit in the oven, but I'm a little bit worried.

Don’t do that.
The 5 digit Subs are relatively new watches. I mean not vintage

Plus the gen paint was more resistant that the 4 digits. Most gen 5 digits have impeccable dials.

You can very slightly age the hands if you want, and maybe a light oven run of the insert, but don’t touch the dial

The result I would like to get is something like this, I saw some youtube videos and people there used the oven at low temperatures for a short time to get this creamy lume.

But if there's another way to get this, safer, I may prefer.

tritium vs luminova. only the tritium lume ages over time.

Haven't had a good chance to check the thread, but what do most people prefer as a tool for changing their case tube? Mine is stripped and the 2.95mm one I bought from amazon didn't fit. Does anyone have some advice?

Thank you~

I've got this one, it's excellent quality. Looks like plastic on the pics but the whole thing plus the tool is machined aluminium.

Great timing, I just purchased that case tube tool yesterday. For the price it’s a no brainer and I rarely have an excuse not to buy more tools!
