imo the watch is stock fantastic. yes gen/upgrade parts are the cherry on the cake but it looks really really good "stock".
But its a good base to upgrade time by time.
which crystals would be worth? except gen? clark maybe?
I couldn't stand it anymore. I just ordered a 16610LN from Sead. These boring Christmas holidays...
this thought crossed my mind several times today
but I have 4 watches/parts for, inbound already

for this M series sub crystal with AR would be correct. so same crystal for 116610.
Finally QC for the TT 16613LN arrived. Approved.
Movement shows good specs on Trusty's timegrapher. SELs look good enough from the different pictures, although underneath fitment looks not perfect on one side. But hey, it's BP, I'll see what it's all about in real life.
Now the wait begins

I was watching a Kermit video by You’re Terrific and he mentioned that the Kermit had Maxi hands which is how you tell it apart from the LN.. was he wrong?:BP 16610 LV has for many years now had all maxi hands. The hour hand and second hand need to be swapped out for a set of LN hands.
Stock
Hour and second hands corrected with BP LN hands
The 16610LV had the Maxi dial and hands.I was watching a Kermit video by You’re Terrific and he mentioned that the Kermit had Maxi hands which is how you tell it apart from the LN.. was he wrong?:
Right that was my question, the guru KJ mentioned that you need to swap the LN hands on this one so I wanted to double check:
So you don’t think you need to swap hands on the BP Kermit? Stock is correct?Side-by-side comparison...
The above comparison are genuine watches. The following BPs from Trusty's website show both the maxi dial and hands on the LV.
I admit, I am a little slow. So are you saying that you agree that the hands need to be swapped out on the LV or not? Apologies for my poor comprehensionThe above comparison are genuine watches. The following BPs from Trusty's website show both the maxi dial and hands on the LV.
