Hi everyone,

This is my VSF 126610LV as well. :( The bezel finally popped off ( dont know why ) and all the springs and stuff are missing for me now.

I asked my TD about the parts but still can’t get an answer.

Someone had the same problem and found the solution will be great for me. :(

Thnx.

If you still have your click, you can buy replacement springs and balls pretty cheaply.

If you have also lost the click you will have to buy a whole new set. TDs will not source these parts.

Recently got my 126LV, faced a few problems in the beginning with the winding but a local watchsmith was able to solve it easily and also did a full service. Runs extremely well and smooth now. IMO, there is no other rep that is better than this ootb.

More I look about VSF, more I think it's a sugess ocean rebadged.
I modded one as a Seiko and everything except dial is similar...

Has anybody had issues with fading bezel on the 126610? Mine seems to have dulled a bit, it doesn’t have a bright luster like it should

Have you tried cleaning the insert with warm water and dish soap, using a soft bristle toothbrush? It might just do the trick. If your already fading, it can’t hurt any, and you might just be surprised.

hi all guys, I got my QC photos, the watch is great as it always does. VSF do not miss a shot my question concerns the closure do you find that as the last batch there is this wording 3VV?
I post some photos of the watch to remove any doubts, the most experienced will surely be able to give a certain answer. Also because there are rumors that VSF does not really produce anymore and the TDs sell other watches for them, but honestly this watch comes from JTime and Li is an extremely serious person, I trust him, but I want to dispel these lies that they tell themselves .
Regards

Do you think a dealer like Li will risk his reputation by selling you a BP as a VSF?
As you say yourself, he takes his business seriously.
If he sells you VSF, it's VSF.
By the way: perfect Rehaut, perfect SEL, aligned bezel.

Nah, nothing to do with vsf.
Rough case, with fat lugs, not so good bezel, sels are not that good...
Can't see if the crystal is as good as VSF, but I doubt it.

It's not a bad attemp, but VSF is clearly better.

Just tried it and it gave back the Oomph shinyness that it was missing. Thanks!

That is great news! Mine still looks great and it’s from February. I give it a weekly clean and it still looks great.
I think that there is some oxidation that occurs that darkens it. Luckily a little scrub helps out.

Thanks again KJ.!!

TD couldnt find the parts and my only option is to buy from Ali I think.

Unfortunately I lost every part under the bezel. Luckily I have the bezel with me. :)
