The crystal size on the gen 116610 and gen 126610 are exactly the same I believe so fingers crossed you will be ok...!

Are you sure about that? Rolex is infamously natorious for making sure parts aren't interchangeable.

Even if the size is the same, it would be lousy to spend all that money changing something that's not accurate.

Im not certain but this video is quite good, 4:35 addresses the crystal size. Looks like the extra size is made up in the bezel. Of course this assumes reps will be same as gens!

Sorry just to confirm, are these pics of a VSF 126610? If so they look very good to me!

Yes, unfortunately my excitement missed the obvious crown between the SWISS MADE at the bottom and I accepted the QC. Looks like I will be receiving a 126610 instead. My apologies for the confusion. I did title the email to Mary as latest 116610 from VSF... but oh well. I think I will be happy with it though.

Just to clear this up as well, Sub007 has told me that his gen 116610 crystals will NOT fit the 126610. Wanted to add that information as well for you guys.

Thanks bud. I too was about to pull the trigger on a VSF 116610... until I saw those pics! I think you will be happy with the newer model, it looks great.

Thanks for that. Yes I guess that’s the danger of going off gen dims only. If the calipers only measure to one decimal point I guess there can still be some play

Hopefully someone soon will be able to measure the two diameters of a VSF 126610 rep crystal. The bottom step is the measurement that denotes a crystal's size. The b25-295-c12-c1 is 29.5mm at the bottom step and 30.5mm at the top step.

Love it. That's really good to know actually. How did I not know this till now? Regardless, as usual, thanks for the info.

I knew they wouldn't work. Rolex never let's parts interchange.

To some of the experts on this VSF 40mm model, when I receive my watch and post pics, could you guys help me see if I got an okay version? Based on pics provided by the seller, I think i got a earlier version with thicker date. But I cannot really tell. Thank you In advance.

I believe we'll have to live with our 12xx reps OOTB for quite some time before these crystals are available...
