New raffles build 16610 sub

[seanzorio]

I have a gen 16610 as part of my regular rotation and it looks pretty darn good for a watch as old as it is (to the point around not needing to age it).

You can get gen 16610 inserts for fairly cheap now, especially on the M2M.

So I am upgrading this 16610 weekly , I just figured out the pearl at 12:00 was not gen like either so I bought a generic bezel insert took the pearl out and put it in the raffles bezel insert , so now the triangle does not go below the pearl . Question does anybody no where to get a bezel insert with the correct pearl to fit the the raffles bezel insert ring or a complete ring set with insert?

afaik, The BP case can’t take gen dials, avoid it if that is something u plan to acquire and swap out later

True. But The BP doesn’t need a gen dial. BP makes some of the best rep dials Out there.

Looks okay, the crown guards needs little bit attention and better crown is necessary.

That is exactly what I was thinking, with a better crown and making the crown guards a little bit shorter, the watch will look great !
