TM Factory 16610, 16610LV new release

[APjumbo]

So we have an ARF with proper size oval hole, beautiful dial, but greenish indices, or a TM with tiny crown print hole ( with other case errors)
Can you feel my frustration through your OLED screen?

I am also starting to notice these dials are closer to MKV , which I think match better to a case with rehaut.

BP dial I think is MKI which needs a good flat 4 insert, and might not fit (diameter) and might have print spacing issues ( I have to re read some stuff apparently)

The more I learn the more disappointed I am, lol.

Lol the number 1 problem with RWI. We learn too much and leads people like me back full circle to buying inferior stuff as well as decent stuff because they are reps and they will never be perfect.

I have seen people over the years here knowing everything but never buying because they cannot pull the trigger on minute imperfections.

To add to the overall confusion, Steve added these as TMF four days ago; today I see he renamed them ARF I give up lol

Usually I stay ignorant and am super happy with my stuff.

I am regrettably down a kermit rabbit hole at the moment and trying to educate myself.
Not going well LOL

I would love to find the perfect recipe, then share with everyone, even if it means buying three watches.
Starting with correct dial that matches the most period correct case.
Crowns/tubes/bezels are easy to swap.

Now that I've seen the tiny "crown print oval" I can't unsee it. Sort of like learning about "happy feet" on an omega.

Way too many of us have been down that one. I have had a fair few rabbit holes leading to frankens, gens and back to OoTB reps lol.

Honestly, the easy OOTB off the top of my head is an ARF, then swap the lume plots, or switch to greener hands (more balanced)

I may attempt removing plots on a cheap dial, and replacing.

I keep dreaming of buying a gen 16610LN dial and replacing plots with green gmt 16710LN plots for about $1000

I am now hunting a KJ2020 how to replace plots thread.

Personally I’m obsessed with the Crown Guards … I have a Franken RAF LV with Gen crown more close to the case than stock one, so CG appears to be more longer. But compared to my Gen 16610LV …hmm hmm it’s day and night.

But with some Gen parts, the RAF looks damn good, with a beautiful rehaut (no RRR) ! I will do with that one, waiting for a TC 16610LV .

Aren’t the crown guards minuscule?

 

[2841]

Yeah…. This is not a step in the right direction

 

[Reaps]

Looks exactly the same as RAF just with a VR movement. No change no advancement. Least they put some new stickers on it.

We there is a good RAF case, with a nice beveled bracelet. And there is a shitty one, with tiny CG and a sharp bracelet, this is the latter

Also they ran out of 93250 brafelets so it's all two tone bracelets now ghat are brushed,

Like others have said it feels like they're just reaching into a HUGE leftover parts bin and throwing stuff together.

Definitely not worth buying, sadly
