Anybody pull the whole bezel assembly (ring, insert) off of one of these? Is it interchangeable with gen unit, i.e. does it use the 4 spring / ball posts ?
Any photos of underside of the bezel assembly removed, and / or of the case w/ bezel assembly removed?
Thanks!

Here’s my rehaut ,looks better than most?

Do you have a photo showing clearer views of the 3 and 9 o’ clock rehaut engravings? Looking at Liam F’s photo, the first few rehaut letters at 12 o clock are slightly off-centre but the subsequent letters are pretty good. For my watch, the rehaut engravings are all slightly off-centre.

I know it’s a matter of taste but am still undecided between standard SM vs the hulk. Or both :D

I have the RXF(vsf is affiliated), The VSF Hulk, the VSF SMURF and have the VSF LN on a boat somewhere on it’s why to CONUS. I love them all. You will not be disappointed.

Crooked AF and the color is off. RL that and go for a darker black.

Thanks. For $400 you’d think they pay more attn in getting those lines straighter than RF does. I mean shit when I ride public transit someone might see it while I’m holding the rail. Even worse when I’m at the high roller table playing games, or in the office kitchen shaking my hands vigorously to dry them with my watch hand at eye level so it doesn’t get scratched on the counter top by accident.

Tks for sharing. Some of your rehaut letters are centered but but some are not. I don’t have my watch with me now. Will take some photos later on.

That said, I don’t really fuss about the rehaut Becos it’s not something which catches my eye. I will accept it as long as the 12 o clock rehaut coronet is centered... lolz

Hi guys,

I can see there are some good experts here regarding the VSF 116610s :)

I am in the process of ordering a VSF 116610LV Hulk and had some interrogations about the VS3135 movement...

What is the average accuracy and power reserve of VS3135 ? After QC and After being used for several weeks
I read that there could be some magnetization issues during shipping, do we always have to demagnetize once received?
I also read that some people confirmed the water resistance (30m test advertised by VSF) with usage in fresh/saltwater while moving.. did you perform a silicone regrease on all seals (caseback & crown) and pressure test the watch prior to water contact?

Yes. LV is great. Magnetize can happen with any watch that get shipped rep or gen. Not just VSF. Just use it enjoy it. Don’t worry about it. Service if you happen to need it. Nbd. Shower and JO is fine. Still works and keeps accurate time.

Don't put your rep under water until you have waterproof tested them. These are reps, there's no warranty and assembly will vary from one to the other. So it's not because someone else was able to use their watch under water with no issue that you will with your rep.
