irolexu Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Not familiar with this. Pics or a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share 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?

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
