Keyless is soooo much easier to work with on the VR than ETA clone.
I looked at my 2836 wrong and they keyless got messed up. I’ve messed with my VRs multiple times and haven’t had to mess with the keyless once.

Maybe I'll give it a go. I've tried 3x on an eta clone and each time I messed it up. I've done everything right, Its just when it comes to putting the crown back in it either engages and does nothing, or won't go in at all.

I can personally say that it’s much easier. Still don’t be a brute, but I’ve had zero issues with my VRs. Nothing but issues with etas unless I am acting like I’m deactivating an IED

Here is a previous batch BP KermitNo, it really is that small.
And two gen 16710 inserts, which use the same part number bezel as the 16610.

I held off on the last new ARF 16610LN, and just came back to see about the BP release.
Bit of issues here and there in terms of gen-comparisons, but it looks like better crown guard and i personally prefer the wider chamfers as a look. Only thing that might bother me is the flat four and maybe crystal?
The $318 price pushed me to purchase. Glad i held off on the ARF ($498).

This is very tempting.. especially at this price point. Thank god we are starting to get rid of those SH3135 (begone)
Exactly how they got me in, seeing the fellow members photos coming and coming and coming

Teetering between the BP 16610LN and the BP 16600. Seems like the 16610LN might be a better build than the 16600 though.
Any thoughts?
Any thoughts?
Order both and see it then decide
This is what I did but o a first look seeing the photos 16610 is more good ootb, the 16600 cg needs to be worked on a little
Still I consider them different watches anyway I know some think they are similar but not quite
Will report back once I have my hands on both

How are people finding the bracelet quality on these?
I remember having a BP 16610 a while back and they were the worst part of the watch for me.

If you prefere a "better" Bracelet you should stick to the newer Models, they hav no hollow links and new clasps

Totally different, the old bp bracelets were too thick chunky and stiff (ooo errr matron) there are very flimsy like the gen
