Finally got my QC. I think he forgot about me because I talked to him and suddenly that afternoon the watch showed up.oh well at least it’s getting done. Black 16618 that will be getting a better crystal and gen insert for now.

A good choice
Post some pics when you have it. The crystal "height postion" to the bezel looks good on the timegrapher.
Overall I was really excited when I did a comparison (see here in thie thread page 27)
- the 16618 has a nice look and feel
- dial color of the blue one I had from BP was really good (compared it with a GEN dial from a TwoTone)
- gold plating was also amazing - when you compare it to a 18k gold as I did, there is nearly no difference
You plans are nice - better crystal (Clean oder good aftermarket) and GEN bezel will upgrade this watch so much !!
You will have than a cool 16618 Sub
I am already curious to your first impression when you have it in your hands and also for the final result
