New 16610 out? Experts?

[Daryl70]

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?

I think its 2003 when they done away with the lug holes and 2007 when they started engraving by what I can find on the Internet

Sooo... there's a series of photos of the LV version in a different thread
crystal sticks out wayyy too high
i suppose it's the same on the LN version... makes you wonder how they can make clone movements but still manage to make gross mistakes like this :-/ still a beautiful rep, but... very frustrating!

I got my QC in and thought I'd share since not many pics of the new batches are up. The DW is still terrible. I green lighted anyway and will just Frankenstein it.

 

[botsyboy]

One of the best I’ve seen yet.

Anyone think it's worth it for just the case and bracelet in 904L??? I have a gen, crown, MK3 dial, hands, crystal, bezel insert, DW, rotor.

 

[Airbusguy]

I don't understand why they can never date the date and the cyclops right..

By the looks of the 16610lv thread I can see that the 904 looks brighter than in the 316 depends if you will hold a gen next to yours i suppose

Where have you seen a gen dw like that mate?

 

[houss1981]

Where have you seen a gen dw like that mate?

On TD websites where they describe as 1:1 copied from genuine watch.

 

[arcadia]

Yeah haha but unfortunately there isn't anyone else making the 16610ln now

Been away for too long. What happened to TC?

I finally got the ARF 16610 LN Black No Rehaut Engraving 904L Steel ARF1:1 Best Edition on SS Bracelet SH3135.
This watch is very nice! I regulated the movement and it is keeping very good time (so far).
The bezel was slightly loose and the click spring felt a little weak.
I popped the bezel off and retensioned the click spring, slightly bent the bezel washer into a wave washer and lubed with silicone grease.
The bezel now has no play, and feels very nice indeed.

I can confirm that my bezel insert appeared to be a press fit, no glue evident.
The bracelet is very nice and the Rolex style spring bars were straight.

If you want a to make a super franken 16610 T, this watch may be a good start!

TC went legit and is now making and selling Ginault watches.
