My VSF pre-raid 114060 has A01 serial prefix. Purchased it from Trusty Time almost 2 years ago. I had ZZF 3 then Clean and finally the VSF all pre-raid. VSF was better than Clean mainly because of the crystal, which on VSF is near gen. The VSF is so good that I sold my Gen Sub last week on TRF. Never wore it. Only wear the VSF.
Fuck EM, Gen, VSF, Clean and ZZF3 shown below.

Suprised you sold the gen.
I also had the ZZF several versions than Clean than Noob based superfranken I had to rebuild on Clean base.
But have been wearing my gen 114060 as daily beater since I got it in February this year.

Does this look like a vsf hulk to you guys? Dial sunburst looks a bit dark - could be the lighting though.

The K serials are a curious thing! Let's try to find out more about them! 
Is someone with a K serial 116610 willing to check what model number is engraved between the lugs at 12 o'clock? Chances are it says 114060.
Should look something like this:
I also noticed that the caseback protrudes every so slighly more on K vs S. It should be perfectly flush. Might be due to the additional 0.15mm (iirc) of the 3135 compared to the 3130. I wonder if this affects water resistance or even the movement.

For the dial - if little darker than previous vsf batches should be good. Former hulk dial was slightly to light coloured so maybe improvement.Does this look like a vsf hulk to you guys? Dial sunburst looks a bit dark - could be the lighting though.
The thing with the serial and maybe case - we will see. Seems they mix up parts (as you can read a cople postings above)
By looking at the rehaut, it seems indeed VSF. They tend to have the firs E (top right) slightly misaligned.Does this look like a vsf hulk to you guys? Dial sunburst looks a bit dark - could be the lighting though.
If Li has it listed as VSF, then its VSF.Does this look like a vsf hulk to you guys? Dial sunburst looks a bit dark - could be the lighting though.

I sold my 124060 Gen because wearing it made marks and decreased the value. It is not a rare watch. You can get one anytime, it just costs money. Now a VSF pre-raid is not so easy to get. Must wait and get it M to M now. I got mine 2 years ago or so from a TD. No worries about wear and tear, it was only $428 back then. If it breaks I will just get it fixed.
I received a VSF 116610 today from Sead. Serial K28 Clasp 7GJ and the model # between the lugs is 116610.The K serials are a curious thing! Let's try to find out more about them!

So, have you ever looked at the post-vsf 114060LN ? if yes, can you share your thought? I read my mix-comment about the pre and post.
