Incoming 16610LV :)

[Twisted Vicar]

Very nice indeed.

The clasp looks as though it has been recently brushed. The head looks mint.

Congrats Mario that’s a stunner!

What do you mean by that? Did you see something in my clasp, some irregularity?

Looks like a fantastic example, really beautiful. Drop a 97200 bracelet on it for the best of all worlds.

Just a quick note after the first few hours of wearing. The watch optically seems a bit smaller than the Hulk. Kermit has a more delicate case structure, and the lugs with a side cut sometimes look as if they were dirty. The cuts on the bracelet are more delicate than those I have in the Hulk - I like the ones in the Hulk more. The watch does not have a quick adjustment, which is why I wear it a bit looser, and the delicate cut and the plate clasp cause the watch to constantly slide over the ankle. This watch does not stick to the wrist like the 116610LV. The Hulk has a more distinct reading of the indications, as well as the date. The bezel is harder to turn - because the teeth are not as large and clear as in its successor. The clasp itself has not yet worn in, it moves with a slight resistance - this is probably a good sign. The lume is light green, and the bezel in artificial light reflects all the reflections on the eyes. The 3135 movement has just been washed and lubricated, and is running properly. All gaskets were also replaced with new ones. At night, placed with the glass up, it did about +2s, while wearing it, it runs at zero. I will check the date jump during a sleepless night.

To sum up, a comfortable watch, although not as clear to read as the Hulk. For now, you can't hear the bracelet's famous clatter. It seems to me that this model does not have AR under the magnifying glass, because reading the date is much easier in the Hulk. With the original length of the bracelet for hot days, I only have one hole left to use (approx. 4mm) for adjustment with a toothpick on the clasp.

Read post 31.

You can get an easy link to get additional adjustments here.

Also the bezel is harder or turn because it uses a washer to provide resistance vs the newer models

This!!, my favorite sub slightly over my 124060 for these reasons!

Congrats! I too had one that I held onto for a while until I got a good offer on it, I let it go. About a month ago, I came across an unpolished full set down to the original purchase receipt. Decided to keep for now. Per original purchase receipt, original owner only paid $5525 =)
