Maybe a direct swap between VSF and CF bezel assembly would make it perfect? Would it work as a direct and easy swap?

I did it, CF bezel put on VSF 116610LV a month ago and was discussed after #434 in this thread.

Gen on the Left, VSF on the top of right, VSF with CF on the bottom of right.

Obviously I’m wrong but I thought the vsf came with the clean bezel?

Oh ok, thanks. Just ordered a hulk, was going to be a bit bummed without that insert.

You’ll get CF V3 or V4 insert depending on which Hulk version you got but the pearl, insert fill, and bezel seem to be factory specific.

I think the color and numerals looks good. I’ve got the pre raid no date and I think it’s superb beside my gen 124 so if it’s close I’ll be happy. Thanks for helping me out.

So they buy the ceramic naked and spudder the numerals themselves?

but how the hell do you say and to claim that the scallops in vsf are bigger than scallops in clean. fucking sometimes you see microscopic flaws that are nonexistent, invisible to the human eye. and give RL for those too. and now some claim that the clean bezel is more gen like than the vsf one?
pure imagination.

if it exists in the rep world, a genlike bezel SS of submariner, is vsf

Good point… maybe it’s the bezel and not the case.

Not a fanboy of any “rep team” but today I had the chance to wear my vsf 126610LV pre raid close to a gen 126610LN.

I can confirm that there’s something wrong with the bezel/case, on vsf is definitely more prominent.

I didn’t had much time to determine if it’s a bezel or case thing, but it is there (and sadly now every time I look at my wrist I can see it).

Would be interesting to fit a gen full bezel on vsf case to see if the swap can fix the clearance. I remember I saw someone doing this on a 126610, maybe it was Dutch?

On a side note, to my eyes the SELs looked 1:1.

Would be great to see them if available, although a gen bezel is $$$$. I think I’ll wait the end of CNY to place an order for a CF full bezel, maybe they’re compatible considering that the ceramic insert is the same… this could be an easy and cheap fix

I’m still not grasping what the bezel size issue is on the 126610 the photo array above showing Gen / CF / VS don’t seem to show either protruding over the case on the CG side
