Here are pics of my new 16610, what do you guys think ?

 

Can you spot the flaws ?

You're still building great watches I see.  I am actually wearing the 16610 you sold me a few weeks ago.  Ha

Looks pretty nice! What dial is this? The white gold surrounds look a little thicker than gen, at least to my old eyes.

Hey Ceo

I hope you wear it in good health.  BTW  this is all REP, nothing gen in this build...

That crystal looks very good, IMHO.  I wear the watch you sold me in great health! One of my best buys

Here is the recipe

TC sub - latest with v3 strap / v4 clasp

TC LN dial ( bought a few and swapped lume markers to make a good dial)

TC hands - well, almost - I bent the seconds hand so I superlumed some seconds hand I had and used it

BK dwo

TW insert, with a watchmaterial pearl (a very good one)

The crystal is TCs with 2.7mm gasket , stock TC crown........

even has a rep movement (tc movement)

Our 16610's have become so good that it's almost impossible to tell them from the gen anymore. Even the SELs are great these days.

 

I would buy the gen but my rep is simply too good. That's a nice problem to have.

WOW! R, that is a beauty.

 

And now you can proudly display the moniker, "No genuine parts were harmed in building this watch"

 

The WM pearl looks great, guess I need to buy one for the old Euromariner.

This is my holy grail. This 16610 will be my next purchase. Where can I buy this version. I read the mods. Which version of the 16610 do I need to buy so the mods will fit.  

Which TD do you recommend to me for the best 16610 or the one you bought. Thanks for your help. I want to do it in the right way and hope it will work out the first time.

The strap is as it comes, the parts are basically from TC, TC is a supporting vendor and all he sells are 16610s at the moment (and YMs).  The TC sub is a great base for mods and frankem projects though as this proves, frankening is not always necessary
