Looks incredible! The contrast is very eye catching.

I’ve just been looking at some Gen wristies and it appears that maybe the hour hand lume plot boarders are (again) a little thick on this as they are on the 116 subs. Am I seeing things?

I know it's a different version dude .. I have the 116 .... vs and the font is really thick. The question is is it fixed? And worth buying. I also have their yacht master and it's perfect

If you know, can I ask why were you comparing hands and a DW from a different model and asking if they were fixed in this one?

Your question makes no sense. Look at the pictures just posted in this thread because they show you exactly what the watch looks like.

Yeah, you're seeing things. A lot of times camera distortion comes into play. I have here the gen hands and the vsf hands for the 116xxx and they're actually the same thickness.

Not sure if this is what you mean but the hour hand lume area looks slightly bigger on the gen 124 vs franken 114

Dear Gentleman,

i'm new to this forum and i'm from Germay, so please excuse my bad english.
I havent been in reps since i read a lot of posts about the new vsf 116610 some month ago and i' m astonished how good the reps are produced (in my non-expert point of view).
after that i read all the threads and posts of the development of the new vsf 126610.
as far as i'm no expert in the rep business like a lot of you are i'd say the new vsf 126610 is a very well rep for its v1.
the only thing i recognized looking at the pictures is that the serial-number on the rehaut at the 6 o'clock position at “swiss“ seems slightly misaligned and not exactly in between the minute markers. Or am i wrong an it is just caused by he angle the pictures are taken?
the other thing i mentioned in the coparison picture between the gen an rep cermit some pages ago ist that the cg's of the rep seem to have a different shape compared to the gen (yes, i noticed that the cg's of the rep are still wrapped in foil, but the shape semms different anyway).
how exact is the shape of the lugs in your opinions? its difficult for me to spot a differenc to the gen with an untrained non-expert-eye?

looking forwadr to some hints from the experts of you, specially from the lucky members who already recieved their watches and can take a close look with watch in hands, specially abput the three points i mentioned (misaligned serial in rehaut, cg's, lugs)

best regards

madedo

I agree that the CGs on the VSF 126 look different to Gen that’s something I noticed too

Bezel in this picture looks incredibly good tho lol.

I can tell slight difference in color which means in reality that difference is bigger than in that picture.
Cameras don’t capture well difference in green color that’s why rep hulk green bezels look very close to gen, but when you hold it in your hands and look at it you will see the difference.

Yes, shade of green is an instant tell :D
It's the same on that picture. Even showed the picture to my wife, that can identify millions of color shades (like all women), and she told me it was the same...

To me it’s exactly the opposite. Can’t see ANY differences between Gen and Rep insert color.
