I have now had several friends and business partners in my surrounding with relatively new Submariners. I had the impression that the watches were even more reflective or had a more intense shining. Am I mistaken (perhaps due to the respect to the GEN) or is this a visible difference between GEN and REP?

@diamonds’ comparison highlights just how close the VSF and Clean models come to the gen. Regarding bracelet sizes, as noted, most reps follow the gen’s 21mm lug width, though slight factory variations can happen—always good to double-check if precision is key for you.

For anyone debating between the 124060 and the 126600 SD-43, it seems the consensus leans toward the 124060 for bezel accuracy and overall quality. Pairing a VSF head with a ZF bracelet is definitely a popular move for those wanting to elevate fit and finish

Excellent review. I own both the Clean and VSF versions, and your reciew
Is spot on.

Both are excellent reps. And 99% of people
Likely couldn't tell them apart is mixed up.

Thanks for the post!!
