Starbucks - 1LQ or 1LO can't see clearly
Hulk- 6SH
Black 40mm sub - 6SH
Blueberry - SR8

All from yesterday's VSF batch.

Seems there's some kind of inconsistency. My guess is they run out of the previous bracelet and this one is a new batch or a new supplier.

All my 12 watches have a 7GJ code, which may be leftovers.

Yea they have 2 clasp codes for the 40mm for this last batch. I've seen a few 7GJ too.

Ordered VSF 126610LN and awaiting QC. I hear some of them may not be VSF. What clasp serial number and watch serial number do I need to confirm so that I know I am getting a VSF. I have seen a few different ones out there and want to be sure I am getting a VSF.
Thanks

Just got QC on a 116610LV all looks good - clasp and serial same as pre-raid. I'm not one to nitpick on cosmetic issues, but there is something odd in the gap between dial/rehaut and bezel at top - have asked TD to check but wonder if anyone has seen something like this before? I know it's not the best photo and zoomed in etc but almost looks like glue or plastic in there. Anyway, hoping it is just some odd reflection!

DJ was on my list too.. can only hope VSF comes back.. or someone takes on the torch. All that knowhow won't just vanish. Having said that the ARF DJ looks good to me so if I get impatient I'll go for that.

It was my first thought too. But looking at pictures of other subs (and my LN), inside, outside, different light sources etc. that area always seems to reflect the dial (if anything) rather than some random stuff. Anyway I guess only way to know is to have it in hand, so I'll be patient and wait for the TD to reply!

bro check the other QC pics, is that badly cropped picture the only QC pic you received? I hope it isn't.
If you can still see that same reflection in the other pictures then it shouldn't be a reflection.

I had a few other pictures but only one face on so couldn't check. I don't usually do the cropped pics but wanted to show exactly what I'm looking at. Anyway it's all good.. TD confirmed it is reflections. So back to the topic... sorry for derailing!
