I’m under the impression that the VSF 126610 comes with a “ warranty card”and 2 swing tags?

My QC picture had no swing tags and Lana at JTime said no card was included.

Not that it’s important, it’s just small details that make the $588 worthwhile.

Posted elsewhere, should be in here too..

This is incorrect. That is a 126610 and a 116610, the endlinks are not the same.

The 126610 actually has a very slight midlink step, not like the 116610. This was an incorrect assumption that I made too, however it seems VSF were on it from the start.

The genuine 126610 endlink is shallow and not well defined, it looks like VSF..

Same response in the other thread

You are right bro I pasted the wrong screen grab from Watchfinder in that collage. Here is the right one.

I still see quite a difference between VSF and gen, more power to those who don't. I try not to dwell on flaws if I decide to live with them.

Glancing at my VSF 126610 SELs reminds me a little too much of the hollow end link style. Still a nice piece though.

The difference is most visible to me about halfway down the SEL. The gen SEL mid link continues to increase definition height along its entire curve. The VSF SEL midlink actually flattens out at that midpoint, having less definition height there than at the case or below the midpoint.

My SEL mod improves it a bit but the gen is perfection.

Just received vsf 114060 . It's my fault that I didn't see it in the qc photo, but the index is slightly shifted to the right. Other than that part, I am very satisfied.

Gens off Chrono24.. 3 different watchs, all with shallow undefined SEL midlink's. This is similar to how my own VSF midlinks look, different to 116610.

That’s just the same as I posted. The arc of the midlinks is exact same as my examples above. The midlink arc in KJ’s pic is far more profound.

In this review their talking about the crown guards but the pics are perfect to show the SEL’s are not almost flush like the VSF 12 series subs…… as KJ has highlighted

Ok. So what about the 6 watches I posted pictures of above from Chrono24, are they all fake or have they all VSF bracelets on? Help?

My VSF next to one of the gens you posted. I see a noticeable difference.

Of course lighting and angle play a role - the bottom SEL of the gen looks more like the VSF, haha. So we should get someone who has both (and a critical eye) to give us an assessment. Either way I'm OK with mine but given a choice I would prefer a SEL with greater definition to it.

I have a gen 124060, besides the clasp being huge, most noticeable difference was the sel appeared to be flush to me. It depends on the angle and light greatly. I actually didn’t like that about the watch. If anyone is interested I’ll try and get some shots when I get home.
