I've always loved the 16610LV and after waiting for a TC LV to pop on m2m (which never did or I always missed out), I jumped on a JF 16610LV. This base actually works better for me as the SH3135 takes gen parts vs. the TC which uses an A2824 variant.
Mods so far:
-TC LV insert
-Gen crystal no LEC & no AR cyclops
-Gen date wheel
-Gen date intermediate wheel
-Star Supply gen spec tube
-Rehaut sanded
Waiting for:
-Gen LV dial
-Gen LV hands
-Gen reversers
-Gen ratchet wheel
-Gen automatic driving wheel
-Gen crown
-Gen tube
I think the dial and hands will really set this thing off and will service the movement once the dial and hands come in. The automatic system isn't fully winding to max PR and I think once the reversers and driving wheel come in - it will be a lot smoother and more efficient. I also have a gen blue insert I could always pop on and make it a shark/smurf if I ever get bored of the green.
Thanks for looking and I'll update as more of the parts come in.
Here's a current thread on RWI Exile with some pictures of the ARF vs. Noob. ARF is not even close, IMO.

Hi all,
Another member from RWI here. With RWI being down, I'm actually able to check out some of the other rep forums. Thanks for having me and I see a lot of familiar names. I really like the layout of this site!
