126610 obviously if you like the profile of the 5 digit subs.

Speaking of the TC LV, it is a great watch, but IMO these modern reps far outpace it as far as accuracy and gen like feel.


Well TC, as I know, worked with 316L Steel? (At least his "legal watch hommages" now do.

Yup he did use 316, from what i remember he never tried to hide it or pass it as 904

After years of listening to folks on this forum gloat about getting a -/+1 movement, I've always thought it was a myth or a unicorn. Never gotten anything lower than -/+5, But I finally got that elusive -/+1 on my second 126LV. Wonderful feeling to get a well regulated movement OOTB even though it's still going to get serviced.

Does this take gen crystal?
After putting in a gen crystal on my GMT I’m never going back to rep crystal.

Yes, it takes a gen crystal. But parts are very hard to source. So if u can get one, get it!

Crystal is 3mm langer then the 116610.

Parts number for the 126 sub : B25-7017-1-C1

Thanks for the tip.

Did you ever do this? I'm nervous of removing bezel as ceramic insert is delicate and I presume spare parts are hard to come by... Anyone actually removed a bezel on this exact model?

I didn’t do it because it seem bezel got better after i rotate it a few times.

it’s not difficult to remove bezel but don’t scratch the case. If you don’t know how to do it watch it on YouTube.

More like 0.25mm larger bro (maybe you meant 0.3mm).

Based on these pics by Ro13x the 122610 insert is only like .12mm larger ID, so that would allow for about a .25mm larger crystal.

A few hours ago I had bought a 126610lv in the M2M section, then someone was quicker to pay than me and I was refunded, I believe in destiny and in my opinion it is not destiny for me to buy a 126610, or at least not now, better wait for more updates on this watch!

Kj2020 you are my mentor, and don't you know it, I read everything you write and trust you, so now I ask you, is 126610lv worth it? I only need you to answer yes or no!

You couldn't have explained it better... gorgeous!
So nothing... I've already sent an email to my TD to see if he has this watch available!
No point in waiting for M2M sales, I'm too unlucky!
