TM Factory 16610, 16610LV new release

[bowtiefanatc]

I have gen dials that measure in the 28 range.

I’m going to be putting a gen 16613 dial in that case shortly

A TC dial

Interesting. Thanks guys for the feedback.

i think the one I linked to is the ARF/RAF case?

can anyone confirm?

Yes.

I put a 27.5mm Mochacha dial into one

Jf/arf/raf dials are wider than gen dial, but gen dial fits the case

The one mounted on a movement is a JF LV dial, the other one a gen LN dial. See how the dial extend over the minute markers?

JF/ARF/Silian case ( I group them as I’m pretty convinced they come from the same factory) are not built the same way as gen. See @FiveGuys post in this topic:

The bezel is slightly smaller, some sanding may be required other times it isn’t. There’s not cutout inside to do the easy movement install.

Other than that it’s built to gen specs which BP is far from.

I got a 16613 bezel from ewatchparts and it snaps on perfectly to the Silian case, and it took gen insert with zero issues. I also have a gen crown on my 16800 that didn’t require anything to be done.

Thank you @APjumbo @bowtiefanatc @heska for your feedback and measurements!

Yes I had seen that cutaway view of the 5 digit case construction before but seeing it again really helps, thanks!

guess that’s the difference between ”gen spec” vs true gen case construction.

At the end of the day…these are ~$500 reps vs $6k+ gens.

Take the good with the bad and just enjoy it. Let’s not go back to the days of angle measuring of Panerai crown guards.

Has anyone ordered one of these yet and received them?

I ordered it but still no qc. I don't think many dealers have it in hand right now, as trustytime is one of the few that listed it, with the same promo pictures provided from the factory;

 

[bowtiefanatc]

I heard it wasn’t available yet. Likely soon

I switched my order with Steve to this so hopefully they can get it too, they all buy from the same factories....

Hont can order it as well

I asked Ctime about it - they had never heard of it.
