Lol, imagine stating a watch is a good V1, complimenting it even, but saying it's not NWBIG like the previous model but will eventually get there. So arrogant!

For an interesting side note, now that hopefully everything is clear, check out the end link recession differences between these two models. First being alexcast and the second being lmagg00

First has absolutely 0 recession, must be from one of the initial batches... then it goes back to the standard Rolex style with typical fit and finish! It's not always great to be first in line! If anyone ever says the new watches don't have recession here's a direct comparison of what batch variance can differ with.

Finally received my LV, and would like some input from the seasoned players.

From a looks perspective, it's unbeatable. Superb watch.

From a "feel" perspective, I'm not sure what to expect? For reference I've got a gen 116710 GMT and Noob 116519 Daytona.

The feel of the VSF is overall very very good. Clasp is better than Noob, but maybe not as smooth as my gen GMT. But GMT clasp is different.


Questions:

1. The movement- winding doesn't feel as solid as my GMT or Noob (no perceptible difference between Noob or gen GMT). Is this due to the different movement in the 126610?

2. Also the bezel is maybe a bit of a disappointment. There is a bit of play when pressed down, slightly loose feeling, which I'm sure will not be present in a gen Sub. The ratcheting action feels loose- is this the same as a gen Sub? My GMT cannot be a comparison as the bezel is bi-directional and doesn't click like that of a sub.

Appreciate some input.

What is the current consensus about the new Kermit?
VSF has rounded lugs and Green Factory has worse bracelet and clasp.
What other flaws does the Green Factory have that the VSF doesn‘t have?
I don‘t want to open a new thread only to ask this question :D
Which of both Kermits would you choose?

Who has the best Sub? There is no consensus - read both threads, decide what is important to you, and figure out who’s opinions are worth listening to and who’s opinions aren’t.

If you care about aesthetics, Green outshines VSF. If you care about the clone movement, go with VSF. Or wait a year when the next iteration fixes the issues both factories have. Green is new to the market so it's not necessarily known if they'll upgrade theirs, but VSF tends to do silent upgrades consistently as time goes on. The inaccurate lugs will be fixed on VSF within a year I'd estimate.

Green factory clasp is excellent. Bracelet has a little play.

In most of Gen subs bezel also moves when you press it down. Do not worry :) My gen sub do it as well :) Once I got my gen I was pissed but then I Googled it and many people has the same issue

That's good to know! Is the gen sub bezel a lot looser than that of a GMT? It's got a plasticky click, totally different from the solid feel of the gen GMT bezel.

The photo is from Alex Berger the owner of the Berger Rolex official Retailer in Polanco Mexico City so I don’t think he would upload pictures of a fake Rolex as you claim

Misaligned rehauts are all over genuine Rolex models, Rolex couldn't give less of a damn
