Needs crystal upgrade?
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’ve got a 40mm prof xtal handy.
Thinking of Kermit and Two tone.
Anyone have the AliExpress link for 5-digit hands needed for the Kermit?

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 😀...

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.

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?:

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 comprehension
