The VSF Submariners Thread

I received a VSF 116610 today from Sead. Serial K28 Clasp 7GJ and the model # between the lugs is 116610.

Very nice, thanks. Good to hear
That supports that there is actually no mixing and matching of random VSF parts happening.

What about the protruding caseback? With the QC pics on reddit you can basically tell if it's a K oder S serial:

Maybe they just need tightening.

You should look for:
S19 S29 S39 for 116610
2R… for 126610
K28 for 114060

Thanks for that.

My casebook looks like the picture of the S serial. I removed the casebook when I received the watch, to verify the VS movement because I had never heard of a K28 serial. Then I tightened the shit out of it.

hey smoko, could i ask you how the movement feels to wind? thanks

I wouldn’t be the right guy to ask because I have never wound a gen. My other watch has an ETA movement. This is my first 3135 clone and I try not to wind it honestly. I just shake the watch until it starts running, set the time and date and I’m off. The truth is I fear clone movements and have never purchased one before. The last watch I purchased was a MBW 16610, with an ETA, about 15 years ago. This VSF 116610 is the first watch I have purchased in 15 years. I’m sorry I didn’t have a better answer for you.

[kamezaki]

Yesterday I asked Li about 114060 from VSF and he told me it is currently unavailable. Maybe in 3-4 weeks will be more. I am surprised you got one from Puretime, maybe they have stock

 

[garnier]

I’d look the serial (k28…) and rehaut aligment

Yup, their website states it’s available

What’s the correct serial? K28 is straight out reject right.

K28 is the correct one. I got mine last week too and apparently it was the last one. Lucky me.

Hi sir just want to know what's good with the 116610 K28 serial and you're lucky and it was the last one, is it better than S39? Thank you.

And please anyone who also has knowledge with the 116610 K28 Serial chime in.

 

[Rangeman]

Please take a look at this S39 116610 unit if it looks like Real VSF?
I read that there are fake s19 and s29 serialed, how about s39?
Thank you

Looks good to me (from what I can see) - S39 rehaut engraving, 7GJ clasp Code, "V" of Geneva slightly to the right next to the "A". Unfortunately i can't see the alignment of all bezel markers in comparison to the Inlay but you should see that by yourself. Let the TD open the caseback in order to give you an insight if this particular watch has the correct VS 3135 movement.

I have just receive my QC,the Rehaut engraving seems to be abit light and misaligned,the lume pip also seems to have excess glue on the bottom right hand side

Pearl is fine its shadow these always look
like pearl has damage or etc.

Rehaut is standard VSF its bad and not gen like but still this VSF is as close to gen as it gets OTB.

Enjoy it.

 

[dogwood]

Is that a gen crystal? Absolutely no distortion on the cyclops.
