Price will be next to the 500$ which will be fair if it were a nice rep OOTB but it lacks the DW and on top of that the non-reliable movement sadly.

...If only they release a 14060..

It’s the new arf attempt. Usual shit dw but has potential I guess but $498 is a bit steep!

It appears to be the same JF but will come with 904L bracelet. Which will explain the jump from $420 to $498

Yeah, jeez that date font - another BARF (Bold ARF)!

Hmmm????

Everybody's complaining about the DW font , but you've missed the terrible pearl cup, the lopsided, asymmetric CG's, the wide chamfers on the lugs (should be narrow - a whisper of chamfer), the 704 crown (gen was 703) and the wrong ref' stamp on the clasp.

But the rehaut is nicely done, as is the bezel ring.

See.... That's the problem with knowing too much! If you were ignorant like me, you wouldn't know the difference!

Better than nothing, I'd say.

I thought the older gen 5 digit subs were made from 316 stainless ? Seems a lot of xtra money for nothing eh

They were 316. Now with 904 they are charging more for it.

They just released the price on both LN and LV... $488 lol
I don't get this update, if you could even call it that.
More like a re-release.

Here's some articles on when 904L started being used

https://www.fourtane.com/2015/10/19...less,2000's transitioning from 316L stainless.

16610s were made until 2010, 14060s until 2012.
