In comparison for the 116610 to 126610 subs. Which watch feels more comfortable on the wrist. From reading the 1mm increase in case and bracelet size makes a big difference. Just wanted to know your thoughts from who own both models. Obviously VSF is the way for these

I think the 12 is more comfortable but it wears a size bigger than the 116. Wear either for any length of time and they disappear anyway, so is just an initial impression. A GMT wears much nicer as it has a flat case back. A GMT with a Jubilee is the ultimate comfort if that's what you're into.

The good and bad things of old VSF are well known. Any future "VSF" can always be compared and found to be the same, worse or better, so it's not that difficult.

I only know of the bezel and serial tell, how do these VSFs look to you?

I have the 116610LV from VSF and really wanted to get a 116613LB from VSF but then the raids happened. Now it’s impossible to find 1 and the only other option is getting the 126613LB, just didn’t want it to be too big so asked the question. I understand the gold is not as good as the CF and I’m sure I read somewhere that the end link is 3 piece and not 1 solid piece

True. Too bad we don’t have any made by VSF…

Hi
I plan to Franken a 116610.
For the126610 you said that Clean Hands + Clean SELs on VSF is perfect.

Is it the same for the 116610 ? ( arf SELs on VSF ) or CF make other part better than VSF ?

Thanks

Exactly why I’m considering an ARF Jubilee for my VSF 126610LN

how do these VSFs look to you?

I took a pause on reps because there are things no QC can show, like movement reliability, and also don't want to feed the price hike.
In general, the more panic I see around me, the more turned off I am. My wish for the new year is for things to get back to normal with a sane balance between factories, TDs and customers.
