Sharp edges can be easily refinished. No prob with that. Brand new gen 116610s have some sharp edges, usually they are around lugs and bracelet. I guess that’s not the case with gen 126610 but it’s such a easy fix.
bubblegummers Noob 116519 best OOTB rep? Hmm.. gen is white gold.

Aside from a different metal that you can't even really tell, the quality is remarkable.

I like Noobs Daytonas but I’d rather go for 116500. White gold looks slightly different than SS (different shine and color) and it definitely feels different.

You can sand it down but you need to be careful not to overdo it. Keep in mind, brand new gen Rolex submariners have sharp edges until they get send it to Rolex for refinish.

You definitely can tell...white gold is significantly heavier


I understand and agree with the heavy aspects, but I don't judge my reps based on how heavy they are. It has some nice heft to it even though it's not as heavy as gold, and it looks almost exactly the part. No one can tell the weight as long as it stays on your wrist. I have both the 116519 and the VSF 116610, and they are both on equal levels of quality.

Yes but as long as you don’t let anyone hold it in hands weight should not be factor.
however, white gold looks different than stainless steel.

I'd be hard pressed to find anyone who even knows all the intricacies of white gold and SS hues that he can spot a SS rep of a white gold watch unless they were side by side in bright lighting. Even then there's plenty of people on the genuine Rolex forums who said they saw the blue smurf Rolex next to the hulk or black sub and said they had to really look hard to tell the difference in the different tone of the WG... There's also different shades of SS and WG to make it even more complicated. Look at the genuine BB58 in black and in blue, the SS of each respective case has a different tone to it. It's hardly an issue IMO

It may look similar in certain half light but you can definitely see the difference in bright lighting condition.
but yeah most people don’t even know how white gold should look like.

Quick off topic from AR...
I just broke the insert of my vsf(2 days of wirst).
I realized that vsf uses clean factory inserts for their 126610.

I have been lucky because i managed to re-fit the insert and it went in perfect.

I asked for a spare insert but it seems not available at the moment.
I can only say that it's really fragile.
Carefull guys
Anyway the quality of the platinum layer is top!

That's not their website, it is use another chinese seller using their name, its pretty common. Anyways so far i know vsf only used in the past the cleam insert on the hulk. Its interesting too see that the 126610 uses a clean factory insert because clean factory hasn't make so much noise about it.

seems VSF going low profile for now (and hope nothing worst) ... I wait my new QC near one week now.

Usually it's take like 2-3 days to get QC from VSF watches.

Well, sharp edges on the outside of the link is easy, but how about of the sharp edges on the inside of the link. That is a hell of a lot of work and you need the right tools to
take the link apart. So I don‘t think it is easy. Most of my watches have sharp inside edges.

I think with time they should smooth out by themselves.
I will check if there are any sharp edges on my LN. I should have it today.

You mean your LN by VSF was fine? No sharp edges?
I have jf ap 15400 which had razor sharp edges. now it’s smooth like a butter. It got smooth with time and wear.
