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

[soyuzrep]

You guys must be getting tired of me... haha

I got the stripped tube out, but the replacement tube I ordered came chamfered and didn't accept my gen crown...
Does anyone have any suggestions for crown tube / crown sets that fit natively with the ARF case?

Aliexpress is fine, seems to be the only place with these kinds of parts anyways.

I'm all ears, always. You guys know 10,000 times more than I do about these watches - so any info helps.

Glad you got it out. The one thing this game has truly taught me is patience, true patience, and its not just lip service. Patience on waiting for yet another more correct tool, another technique or another modder to help complete. Most projects are a 6-10 month endeavour for me.

Yeah, I've definitely figured out a lot of this is a patience game... I've also figured out that nothing ever feels complete, haha. There's always another thing to change or improve.

Just going to be ecstatic when this thing is back on my wrist. It's been a frustrating, but fun journey.

I like the tubes from Wholesaleoutlet(ebay) also known as E-watchparts. I can't remember if they have the chamfer or not though.

Based on the pictures, these all have a pretty significant chamfer. :/

I found a 703 tube on Ali without the chamfer, so I'm gonna give that a go and update when it arrives.

 

[soyuzrep]

So little update!

Got the new crown and tube today. Fits perfect like a glove. No gap, no need for case chamfer, and the actual crown is pretty gen-like in comparison to my other subs. Quite happy not having to fiddle around with the case more.

If you need a replacement crown and tube, I'd highly recommend this one.

Couple of pics.

Also - tube works with my gen crown, so I'll be using that as well.

Why do you have two accounts? That's a bannable offense

 

[soyuzrep]

Ah, I didn't realize the account on my phone to post pictureswas different... I just wanted to post an update.

 

[soyuzrep]

Fully back together! Happy to have a 16610 back on the wrist. Good stuff.

 

[Art Vandelay]

Good effort @soyuzrep thanks for sharing!

Would also be worthwhile PMing a mod to sort out your multi-account issue.

Sent a mod a message! Didn't realize it would be an issue so I'll get the account I was using on my phone deleted. Thank you though~

I purchased it in mid-February and thought I’d share a few pictures.

I’m not sure everyone caught your post but it looks like the hour marker and hands lume color mismatch on the ARF LV has been fixed. Is that your opinion?

It looks like it doesn't it. Would love to have this confirmed also?

I've seen QC with both hands with white lume and non white lume in the last year. I think TM factory may be better if you want this flaw removed since I saw it has better hands.

Does Tue Tm have more flaws then the ARF?

I think they're the same parts from what I saw. Same case, bracelet for TM is now the 93253 not 93250 (but In think AR same now)... dial nothinh to comment... bezel... also nothing wrong
