irolexu Posted June 15, 2015 Report Posted June 15, 2015 Can anyone confirm if the new jf 116622 latest version can take gen parts? I just got one and all it basically needs is a gen crystal and that's it (and maybe a nicer buckle!) Oh and maybe a gen crown and tube
irolexu Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Posted June 17, 2015 I'll get pics of it asap but the watch is phenomenal. IMHO it is much nicer out of the box then a tc or bk. The watch is just pure solid. What will kill it for me is if it isn't 1:1
alligoat Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 Can you take it apart? That's what you'll have to do to determine if it's gen-like construction. Likewise, it would be interesting to see the construction of a 16622 from TC or BK- I'm assuming that they are similar to the 16610. Since the 116622 looks similar to the 16622, you would think that the bezel construction is similar- but then why did Rolex give it a new model number? Does the gen have a new movement inside?
ubiquitous Posted June 17, 2015 Report Posted June 17, 2015 TC and BK/WM9 16622s are gen construction...

It got a new reference due to the changes they made such as the blue lume, introduction to a new color dial, new clasp,bezel engraved
