Gen is Gen, a simple thing.

Tolerances of Manufacturer are very very strong. Chinese Workers have more space for flwas in their Production.

I upgrade every watch what stay in my Collection with Gen Crystals, why ? Because the difference once you saw it in direct comparison ( not on Photos) in real life in your hand, you´ll understand that its worth 350 $.

Saw good VSF Crystals and Bad ones that´s the Game in Rep buisness, but definitely not so perfect as Gen Rolex Crystals and thats in most Cases more flaw than the dial or Hands.

I have a genuine AR crystal on my TC 16610 and that looks very nice.

But I would never på a genuine crystal on a vsf sub when the rehaut is a easier way to see its a replica sub.

Would be e gen Xtal be an huge update vor a TC 16610 LN V6. I mean a period correct gen xtal with no ar and no lec.

I never had the chance to see a gen 16610 but i believe from video and fotos that they also have bad reflections on the cyclops.
