The VSF Submariners Thread

ARF and Clean are the same aren't they?

No they are not...

For the Daytona - Yes

Submariners - No

Ok so ARF make a different bracelet than what clean use for the 126610, even though they don't make a 126610?

This has always been the argument. Why should ARF make a bracelet for a 126 Sub in the case that they ain't producing the 126 at all, at least not yet.

I would say that the rep factories themselves do not or might not be making their own parts at all but source them out to legit manufacturing plants.

ARF daytona and Clean Daytona have the same bracelet.

clean does not use the same bracelet as ARF when it comes to subs.

That doesn't really make sense as to why ARF would make a 126610 bracelet at all then.. If no one else is using it.

I guess to answer your question to the ARF and clean Bracelet is that.

Clean Daytona bracelet = ARF Bracelet.

Clean 12 sub bracelet =\= ARF bracelet. (They don't do 12 subs.)

Thanks for all the pictures comparing the different clasps

The "cat mouth" on the ARF clasp looks to "small " compared to the genuine one.

And then the vsf clasp looks more genuine like than the ARF in that part

But I know that the finish/ fitting on the ARF is better than the vsf. The clasp on my vsf 1ld clasp was not cloosing so well and used a pair of pliers ( without any grupp inside) And put some paper between the gap to avoid scratches.

bend very little at a time and test the opening/ closing after each bend!

my clasp clooses very tight now,

I have the VSF 126610 LN. I swapped to the ARF Clean bracelet. I like it much better. Mostly because of the clasp. No catfish mouth gap at flip lock end and way better glidelock. SELs are better too.

We already have laughed at you know who because this catfish issue has been brought up before, only to see the gen pics are the same if not worse. You can WANT a smaller gap just because YOU like the look of it, but don’t say the bracelet is not gen-like because of this “catfish clasp”.

Im pretty sure the gen clasp is finished same as VSF inside.

GEN/VSF with 7GJ clasp

Am I “you know who”??

After many hours of thread climbing in RWI (thanks everyone), I just copped two VSF Starbucks with 2R99 and 2R93 serial.

Not sure why the engravings with the movements are different, but it seems to be the VS3235 for both.

Really happy with the purchase as a first time rep buyer. Looking forward to the CF Panda in the mail already.
