126610 from Clean factory

[ab1112]

It is creating a bit of confusion with the white board. That part of the Rolex Gen is and should be totally white (I'm looking for a white gen gasket for my VSF 116610, it gives the glass a more gen look. The problem with the CF sub 41 glass is the bevel, it uses the same bevel as in The sub40s, where the ugly defect of the minute reflection on the edge was not visible. I like it much more this way although I will put a gene crystal in my CF to make it genuine. And I repeat, the Rolex glass gaskets are totally white , the difference in whether it is more visible or not is due to the bevel.

so has anyone figured out what we need to do to get rid of this white gasket ring? Looks like gen is also white. But VSF and gen use steel bezel inside the dial so you do not see it as the gasket is not seen in as the lip of gasket is holding the crystal.

There's a watchsmiths and horologists section where you'll find most of them, pick your choice

I could do that for you. Are you in UK based?

I got mine this past weekend and it’s very nice. Yes there is the crystal gasket that is prominent, but bezel action is buttery smooth and the crown guards are quite nice.

One thing that I didn’t notice until I got it on the wrist was the SELs don’t match as nicely as I’d like. The top lug and SEL interface is nice and even and shape of the lugs match the SEL very nicely. However the lower lug and SEL are lop sided. The SEL is lower than the lug on the left by .003” (acceptable) but I’d say the right side SEL is ~.007” lower. It’s not much of a difference but it’s a difference you can see.

US. I also don't have a crystal or gasket. Im thinking of just giving it to prof to do it. Should make this rep 10x better. thoughts?

Hi guys! Have you ever tried to go back with the hour and minute hands when the date changes at midnight? On my watch, at 6 o'clock, rewinding backwards, there is another snapshot of the date. Crazy things.

What about lum?
I have a clean without a date 114 and Lum in my hands more Carmi than the markers.
How is version 126610?

I received one that didn’t have pinkish dial lume but the issue is that the hands are a glossy white lume material which reflects light differently and still looks different to dial lume

I’ve had both CF and VSF 126610
Apart from the crap crystal bevel causing the “white ring” and the bad lume matching on the hands to dial this CF 12xxxx is pretty damn good. The case and bracelet is very good in terms of shape fit and finish, shits all over the VSF when I compared them both to the genuine. The VSF case is just shite!! The lugs are all rounded off and not the right side profile in conjunction with the SEL, The rehault is not great, brushing is terrible, clasp is fair. The only thing useable on the VSF is the crystal ( which sits too high on the CF case anyway ) the dial & hands combo, crown and tube maybe and the movement. When the light hits the VSF case it just looks horrible compared the nice sharp edges and finish on the CF.

Hands are crystal (along with dial) will have the biggest visual impact imo.

The other differences: sel, luge etc...are all academic imo.

But if you get the cyclops wrong, mismatching Lume etc...then the watch will be unwearable to a lot of people who are used to seeing gen or even vsf level quality.

Definitely as you mentioned those attributes have the most impact. Unfortunately The VSF case shape and finish of the lugs just isn’t wearable for me especially after having it next to the gen. I combined the VSF and CF for a pretty good result.

Thank you for your comparison of VSF & CF. I just ordered a CF and will get a Gen Crystal and Gen Datewheel - should be a nice combination. What do you think is worth a swap on the CF?

110% this!

This is the CF dial and hands I received. It seems CF has changed lume material as it is much closer to the hands now. I can’t see that pinkish hue anymore the markers have a very very slight green tinge and seem almost identical to the VSF dial. Hands lume seems whiter than previous CF versions also. It’s better but still one step forward and half a step back. Crystal Is CF with profs cyclops. Case is VSF

This is the way . Vsf case, cf hands and dial ,plus cf bracelet (must be from 126610. 124060 is almost same like vsf )

 

[vodamerc]

I've read on the 124060LN thread that CF have fixed the Crystal/Gasket issue. Would the same be true for this model?

So after having RF CF and VSF side by side for a few weeks now my plan was to combine them this way:

-CF Case, Bracelet and Inlay
-VSF Bezel, Crystal, Dial, Hands, Movement, Caseback
-RF Clasp and Bezel Click

Those are the best parts from all three combined as far as i can tell.

Is that doable? Has anyone done this before and what obstacles you guys expect?
Will the VSF crystal and gasket fit into the CF Case?
Because i have to say, yes the cyclops has a bit distortion, but everything else is so much better with this crystal that it substantially elevates the whole look and quality feel of the dial.

I’ve swapped parts across from the VSF and CF. Bezel hytrel rings are different and the crystal gaskets were similar. The VSF crystal sits higher on the CF case and looks wrong. The vsf crystal
Is thicker than CF’s, I shaved the gasket to bring it down slightly but something isn’t gen spec. It’s either the thickness of the VSF crystal or the hight of the CF rehaut in
relation to the case and bezel thickness.
It seems that CF still has the same crystal with rounded bevel and unpolished lower edge which contributes to the bad reflection and creates the “white Ring” effect.
