Does anyone know if the rubberb straps for 6 digit subs would fit this or are they different?

Also is there any recommendations for the highest quality bond nato strap? (Goldfinger) and distressed/vintage looking brown leather?

The 16610LV that was sold via M2M recently was a very strange offering. Firstly, none of the TD's are able to get this watch at the moment - apparently it came from a "Chinese contact" that the seller had and it was apparently a pre-release of the much anticipated new ARF version. But the watch that was sold had rehaut engraving, and the new ARF does not.......

Yes that is a fishy sales thread. I know for a fact that ARF with rehaut engravings does not exist. And that poor fit SEL sticking out and wrong clasp makes me question that it’s even a JF with rehaut engravings. Then there that insert with wrong fonts and markers. Yet this guy has a “China contact”. Whatever. Fishy.

The 2 also is slightly longer than this gen bezel insert again so small I don't think you could tell in person we are talking like 2mm difference. Also there could be a gen version of the bezel insert that they have matched this up too

Funny that you'd notice such a small difference but not notice the big difference between crown guards. The ARF are so tiny compared to the gen

I placed my order 2 weeks ago and TD stated everything fine. 2 weeks later no QC and no deadline when the watch will be available

Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I'm trying to read up on as much stuff as possible about the details of these watches. Based on the details I see, this release would be representative of a circa 2002-2007 sub? After they stopped drilling lug holes but before the rehaut engraving began?
