RAF 16610, New 5 Digit Factory

[tongsui]

I ordered from Steve and he sent QC photos I could inspect.

Get him to look for scratches too , sometimes it's very hard to show up on photos.

this is really weird movement vr dw gen but shifted to the left other users same configuration and the result is perfect I really can't figure out what could be causing it

Did I install it incorrectly? I don't think so, all the functions work perfectly, gears engage, and clicks over fine.

 

[Sundek]

no i wouldn't say it is not clear what it depends on

 

[Sundek]

however I take advantage of this 3d to say that my modded kermit with movement vs I will soon put it on sale
I prefer to raise cash to finish the gmt coke 16710 project

**mod edit**

Just wanted to share a similar experience with the vs3135 datewheel in my RAF 16610LN

It’s left justified like many others though mine looks worst in the photo. On the write it’s not very noticeable.

Will probably try a vr datewheel later down the road as others have said it is better centered.

RAF with wso bezel and gen insert

Does anyone have an extra link or two they would be willing to sell me? Have a new to me piece from M2M that is a bit too tight and already fully extended.

Not from this factory. They can barely get this 16610T case done properly, if they drilled lug holes it'll probably be inaccurate like the BP/JKF 4 digits. Best to drill they yourself if yoy want drilled lugs. You'll need hollow end links and a 93150 bracelet too.

Shame. I just want a nice ETA based 5 digit with drilled lugs so I can put it on a nato and wear it forever

My little RAF 16610LV with vr3135 movement
And gen date. Another crystal Will be added and a complete wso bezel. I have fixed The bezel for now with a nylon thread.

Beautiful
but I didn't quite understand
with the wso bezel you solve the problem of the bezel that looks like a toy?

It doesnt look like a toy its just loose and flimsy feeling and can turn both ways. The wso has better teeth shape and accepts gen inserts. Still requires 2 washers to make turning tighter.

Oh yes, Gen insert in my experience doesn't fit the RAF bezel. I shaved 3 gen inserts down to fit.

Its The bezel action that sucks. I change that by afsunget The Wso bezel and both spring washers. Hope that explain it
