RAF 16610, New 5 Digit Factory

[GIG]

I also noticed the plastic still on watch is distorting some angles and maybe the chamfers too.

It's hilarious that they actually bother to print 904L on the sticker.

The F in ARF/RAF stands for Factory. Just like VSF, VRF, ZF, etc. It's RA factory, we just add the F to it. The ARFs had the same sticker, just with AR instead of RA. Been this way for years.

My. qc is in too! I asked additional photos specifically of the lugs and I'll share.. by the way I've also noticed the AR sticker twisted into RA

bring back some drilled lugs!

Basically, there is a case rework needed (especially lugs too beefy). By doing rework, lugs could be drilled too.

Here is a link to my QC if you guys want to take a look. https://imgur.com/a/VYNWhUN
Lugs looks better like this. Looking forward to compare it side by side with my RXF
LEC is a tad off center.. but it is what it is I guess.. I'll swap crystal at some point as to me this is the holy grail of RLX and I truly loved this model since it came out.

According to this screen shot from the movement video we can clearly see the lugs aren't short at all, they hand down past the SEL's quite nicely I'd say . You got nothing to worry about bro you got yourself a nice LV!

It finally shipped. so looking forward to it. I've ordered a Vs3135 which is on it's way and a gen crown (this crown looks pretty bad and IMHO. That's the only thing I can truly notice but is very subjective.

Edit: typo

Thats are very good upgrades - I did with my ARF the same. But as I had done this, the cristal was (by far) the weakest point. Than, I upgraded an gen xtal - it will put the watch on an other level (especially if you use a xtal from an 6 digit sub).

Do you know the part number of a 6 digits crystal? I do have a bunch of clarks laying around and I was thinking of using one of those. But I find the right gen I might go for it!

B25-295-C12-C1 is the 40mm Sub crystal with AR under the cyclops only.

Amazing. This the original one that rolex used on the 2003-2010 16610xx?
