Hey all, got my 126610 in & it looks like the previous owner stripped all the bracelet screws to shit. Can anyone tell me where to source additional screws for the 126610 bracelet?
Many thanks in advance!!

If you plan on being in the Rolex rep game for long you might as well get a whole box

Good call. Would be nice to know specifically which thread/diameter works for the 126610 but every shape & size fits the bill too; unless none of them fit….

You would have to take one of yours out and meassure it precisely to get one close to the right size. Some rep link screws are not the exact size as any gen-spec one, but I've never failed to make a replacement one work, even if it wasn't exactly like the rep one. These screws are fairly easily sanded, both in length and in diameter. If the diameter needs shaving, you can put one end in a pin vise, clamp it to a bench then sand it with a thin strip of sandpaper, like a shoeshine cloth. Then swap ends in the vise and match up the other end. Screw heads can be polished with 7000 grit then Cape Cod, or brushed as needed.
116610 Models have:
S19/S29/S39 (S39 very rare)
JVS also has S19, just have to open up the watch for looking at movement.

My VSF 126610 has 2R6. I've seen others with this too.

Since this post is getting long, I would like to ask to those more well informed than me if there is anything I should worry with this VSF 126610?

To my untrained eye it seems good to me, maybe the DW a little bolder? Is the "Official certified" dial text correct?
Also the timegrapher... I think 260º amplitude is a good result. What you think about the test?
I read somewhere here the correct lift angle for the test is 55º and not 56º...
I'm far from an expert so any insights from you are appreciated. Thank you!

Hi guys, does anyone know if VS3235 fit in VSF3135 watch? I mean just swap the mechanism, using hand set of 3135 and date wheel, thanks

The 3135 DW is different to the 3235 date wheel.
The dial of the 3135 has dial feet, and the 3235 has no feet.

2r2 is bad news for you - you maybe got scammed with the JVS Submariner. Open up immediatly and look at the movement my friend.....

Post some pictures. Either you were baited and switched (the JVS is still an excellent rep) or some former VSF employee is frankening parts and selling them as full on VSFs.
