Going back to the 16610LV!

Going back in time like it was 2007... anyway I ordered the JF 16610LV from Li today. Pretty excited to see how it turns out!
Back in 2007, the 16610LV was my first Rolex rep. At the time, TDs still had the "Swiss ETA" vs"Asian ETA" but I digress...

I’d be surprised to hear it was still available.

Placed an order with Li also, but for a ZZF v3 116610LN VR3135. Excited as well! What happened to your first rep with an ETA? Is it still kicking?

I ended up selling it because the rehaut was really woky and bothered me. Back then TDs did have Asian ETA clone and Swiss ETA movements. The "Swiss" ones had all the ETA stamps on it but who knew if that itself was a replica movement... the premium was like $200 over the Asian ETA clone...anyway I digress

Anyway the review... the JF kermit was out of stock so I decided to get the ZZF v3 Hulk. QC pics were prompt and shipping was very quick after that. I received the watch safely shortly thereafter. It was packaged well.

First time working with Li and I have to say it was great. Thanks! will be doing business again.

Now the watch is pretty amazing by my standards. The dial print is spot on as well as the engraving and fill of the bezel insert, at least to the naked eye. Better than I've seen on any other rep thus far. The other big thing with the ZZF v3 is the crystal is pretty good out of the box. The shape at the edge is pretty close to gen so it gives it that "gap"/"shelf" look between the crystal and the bezel insert. That was something of an instant tell for me.
