Press down while holding the bezel from four sides. Say from 50, 10, 40 and 20. Press down firmly and simultaneously from all four sides. You’ll need an extra pair of hands so ask someone to help you

Thanks for the tip mate! - I'll try it tonight and give some feedback. Hope my girl is strong enough

The bezel construction of 16610 bp Is completely wrong.
The code bracelet Is wrong too

Didn’t work for me as well :/

I have finally received my 16613lb from Trusty after 3 months. The overall look is good.

My biggest problem is the bezel. It has about 1mm air to the case. And can be pushed down like a spring - then bounces back like a trampoline. Am I the only one with this problem? How can this be remedied?

Just got mine as well - certainly was a pain of a wait.

Can you PM me Nick's Telegram information please? Or if someone else has it, please pass along. I want to order one as a Bday present for my brother, who is turning 40 on July 29th. Or if someone has one they would like to sell, please PM me.

I have mine in my hand in the UK right now - if you’d like it and are prepared to cover the express shipping, all yours.

Is your bezel wobble too? Or not

I wouldn’t call it a wobble but the click on turning isn’t the strongest I’ve encountered on a rep sub.

Love me some blue insert action - that looks great!!!

77 pages and not a single LV BP wrist shot in the daylight where the ARF lume was just an eyesore. Can anyone confirm it’s good here? After 3 days of going down the rabbit hole I think I’ve made up my mind to order the BP LV and be ok with the maxi hands! Hardly noticeable and ok for me but the lume mismatch was a no go. Then down the road I may order a BP LN too

The RAF LV lume is fine though.

The pic in the post above yours (with blue insert) is a BP LV dial.

BP 16610 dials have long been top tier, sought after for Frankens or TC replacement dials.

Here's a couple 3135 LV shots before and after hands replacements.

RAF lume may be fine but I liked the bezel of the ARF flat 4 more than the foresty RAF look. Hence the only option for me was the ARF.

Yup stunning thank you. I think BP is the way to go for me to keep it unmodded. Great bang for buck. And I meant wrist shots in the sun/daylight where the lume was just horrible like some screenshots taken from the ARF thread below.
