The only problem could be the size of your bezel…..the seller has gen specific pieces in size and measure…if your doesn t fit gen spec parts it not run for you

Yeah - it sounds like it fits later models, but I couldn't find anything on the bk v6. It sounds like some sanding might be needed, which isn't easy on ceramic...

What does everyone think of the current APF 126660 Blue offering, minute hand seems longer/better than the V9F Trust has in stock atm

We all know about the clasp on 136660. besides that this BP is actually 126660 so clasp extension is accurate.

BPF 126660 looks good. IMO, it's the best of the lot as far as new watches from TDs go. The minutes hand is way too short, but hands are easily replaced. The pip isn't great, but I could live with it.

There's also a GMF 126660, which is basically the same, but 904 instead of 316.

CSF 126660 also has the same short minutes hand, plus bad dial font, pip, OGEV RLS font is from 116660, the "K" is significantly misaligned, and SELs appear to be either too long just a bad fit.

APF/AR+F are the same level as the CSF.

Some TD are labeling this as 136660 while it’s actually newest version of BP 126660. Some other TD have it listed correctly as 126660.

I think they upgraded crystal. On older BP 126660 crystal was slightly too high compared to Gen. Dial was pretty spot on same with bracelet, clasp and extension. Hands are too short and pip is not that accurate.

I saw comparison of 126660 deep blue between Gen, older BP, Noob v10, and ARF Dial of BP was most accurate. ARF was too dark, Noob v10 was better than ARF but still a little dark compared to gen.

BP and GMF are same except for steel. But there is no difference in shade / color of steel.

Waiting for yours….. so you could give your impressions expecially in the size of lugs and bracelet…… sometimes happens that watch called 126 measures like a 116
