got a VSF 126610LN from M2M but the xtal is a higher than the bezel and one of the clicksprings seems to be defective. it cant be removed.

any one could check if i got a "real" VSF here? I don't really think that the seller is bad, but these things are very strange, especially the xtal. the watch is currently at tomrep for the repair but he cant remove the clickspring :(

Honestly don't see anything wrong with it. To my knowledge and by looking at online pictures, gen crystal sits like that as well.

The hands vs dial lume compare is what was asked about bro. Especially in bright sunlight where a difference in white tone would be most apparent. Thanks!

Bright sunlight VSF hands lume compared to gen dial lume. Identical as far as I’m concerned.

Yeah that looks fine. You can tell right away if there's a mismatch.

I’m game for a set of gen hands if some come available. Seems like I read they’re a bit longer than 116 hands so it’s likely to be a long wait. Just not many gen 126 parts out there.

Just got QC pics through for a post-raid 126610LN.

For those interested, clasp code is 1LQ. Interestingly, is it just me or does the SEL at 5pm look like an old Noob type effort where it sticks forward of the lug, rather than being nicely recessed?

Mine looked like it was having the same 'issue'. Emailed Lana and was provided with more pictures showing the 5 o'clock 'protruding' SEL was a bad angle.

No I'm laughing because you always get silent updates apparently

It's been documented by various users on this very post pages and pages ago

Don't worry, CF announces their updates so your Pepsi will be less shitty over time

Now your suggesting opinions are facts again 'documented'. Stick to it being an opinion, it's more honest

There have been actual posts here comparing various models from different baches having an updated tapered bracelet, the clasp being updated to a smaller size, and various pictures of the end links being recessed more evenly instead of it being initially lopsided or with less even curvature. This is all fact.

Quit moaning about your subpar reps and enjoy them.
