I believe that he (Jason71 from TRF) mentioned that it is actually "a highly modified 16610LV. Shaved CGs, Chromalight dial and hands, Daytona crystal, fixed Lug bars, and black insert."

Actually found in this thread The Reason I Prefer 5-Digit Subs Over The New Ceramics

It was done at a time where prices for the 16610LV wasn't more than the price of a new 116610LV :s22:

The only other modification which I have seen was on a 114060, where the crown guards were shaved off and the lugs were soldered. Some companies like Tempus Machina can take it even further if your wallet is deep enough.

Ya man. Not sure why.
Non sel.
Send to RSC for service check. They never say anything. Just say need servicing. That's all.
Usually of 3rd party can tell. Even crystal they also will say.

Spending weekend wrist time with a much neglected watch. The Ray Raven II may be a technically superior piece, but I very much prefer how this original Raven looks!

Why dont they use blue or black GMT hand? why red... red make it came out from no where.

That's the point. To make the GMT hand easy to read. A blue hand would blend too much into the dial, and how is one even able to read a black hand on a black dial? :s22:
