Hi,

Yesterday I opened my CF no date just to have a look which one movement is inside….
FYI: I bought my CF from Sead last July.

So, I thought I shall share same pics here… If someone did this before then sorry for bothering you. ????

Hi,
I can do that but my CF Submariner isn’t date. As I mentioned above, it’s is „no date“.

Yes for sure, that's why the 126610 engraving would be wrong on a no date as previously found from other customers! Just to know if they are getting it correct now! Thanks

For date they are using actually no date case with incorrect engraving and for no date they are using no date case with incorrect engraving.

Hi I noticed Andrew has a V2 Clean with VS3135 movement and to my eye it has better CG’s - anyone seen one yet? I was about to pull the trigger as it looks like all Xmas have come at once?
I don’t understand why it’s only $498 and he has a VSF with same VS3135 for $678 - big difference win price…. Is it a big difference win quality though?

JTime also has the CF's now with VS movement just checked.

Nice slanted CG's as well https://jtime.io/us/submariner-11406...on-vs3130.html

Wonder are the crystals also VSF.

Seems cases are different for date version https://jtime.io/us/submariner-11661...et-vs3135.html

No date seems to have VSF case serial also S1 and wokki rehaut the date version has different case seems to me.

That's a JVSF you linked..

CF is . https://jtime.io/us/submariner-1140...l-1-1-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-vr3130.html

Any one else think the CG’s look better? Must be a long way towards being the best Hulk now for the next person who asks….. TBH I can’t find a weakness now in this, any options re having best dial, best insert and now great movement and fixed case?

How cone both the 116 and 126 CF bracelets have the same clasp code of 1LD?
Is my understanding correct?

CF has acquired VSF?
Well, anything can happen in China

Saw something on reddit about it, a screenshot from a wechat dealer mentioned that there was dandong 3135 (the “VS movement”) stock which was supposedly for VSF to take up but since the raid occured, CF took up that order. Whether VSF is back or not (not talking bout leftovers) I do not know.

Hopefully soon we can get the vsf movement alone and hopefully parts
