thank u so much

 

[Timmer]

The only difference I noted was that the more expensive one is describe as constructed with "316L Swiss stainless steel"; given that is that all 3 are the same size/dimensions.

 

[Geonor]

The more expensive one has the crystal retaining ring as well as a spacer and the bezel+insert. The two other ones doesn't have the crystal retaining ring.

Anyone got recent QC pics of either the LN or LV, seams to be a pretty big variations in batches. With different inlays, bezels and cases

Here you go my friend.

Thanks bud, appreciate it

I countersunk my crown tube. Mine had a pretty big gap between the crown and case, similar to the one above. Swapping to a VSF crown fixed it somewhat to what you see on the left, countersinking the crown tube got me to where it is on the right. Pretty happy about it now.

Hey guys it finally arrived, the only thing that “bothers” me for now is the bracelet. I mean it feels and sounds like it’s very very cheap. To give you an example it reminds me of Seiko snxs series. But overall it looks great. Does anyone have the same problem, or have you done something about the bracelet?

I polished the edges of the inside of the links and clasp to give it a much nicer feel. Other than that I gave it a rinse in the old ultrasonic and lubed it up with some teflon. Feels good to me at least. These old style bracelets are a bit more jangly than the newer models by design though. Especially the clasp.

that's the hollow center links bracelet, yes?
So it's normal for it to be jiggly. That's part of the charm.

@Geonor tips are great.

Personally I love those bracelets. They are so comfortable

That’s a good idea, polishing the inside of the links. Thanks my guy! I am currently making a list on the things I want to do, so I put your advice in!

Yes, quite a difference between the 6 digit and 5 digit bracelets. Many people have swapped 6 digit bracelets onto 5 digits because they prefer the more “solid” feel and the glide lock clasp.
