Comparison VSF 126610LN vs. GEN

[Kalev007]

The font and engraving style are fantasy on VSF 116610 subs. Completely different from gen 2016+ rehauts. There’s a big review somewhere here with detailed pics showcasing this.

Edit: Oh sorry just noticed this is 126 thread.

 

[bertieng]

oh i see it now, thanks
now that you've pointed it out, i can see there's a bit of a reflected image in the gen rehaut, but VSF's is just brushed steel without reflection

If you really bothered about this, you can give the rehaut a light polishing such as Capecod will give the similar shinny effect of the gen

Does the VR3235 accept the VS Sub dial w/o any mods?

Yes, the VR date indicator seating provides for that. The VR part has the properly placed protrusions that fit in the spaces in the 126x dial underside rims.

The VR3235 also has dial feet holes, though they are at 6 and 37 minutes so if you want to use a 3135 dial you can, assuming you reposition one of the feet. 3135 feet are at 13 and 37 minutes. The VS3235 has no dial feet holes.

i have not held a VSF in the hand to know if it would bother me, but i was curious what the fuss was about
not sure if CF have updated their crystal recently, i was not too keen on the one on the stock CF either so weighing flaws

have you received your V2 yet? i just got QC pics from trusty for VSF 126610ln and serial starts with 2R9. is that V1 or V2?

 

[Watchguy369]

For me over a long time this was a very nice forum.
Sadly, especially in the german section, there are respectless dickheads incoming and the percentage of memes and comic pictures raise massively. Not my piece of cake, so i am not anymore really active in here.
Thats why you wont get any detailed review anymore.
Here you got the GEN left, and the September Batch VSF right, so called V2.

What I see: Floating M, Crown is too flat Caseside when Skrewed down, of course Cyclopse. Bracelet is phaenomenal, also as bezel clicks.
First you See all the REP Pictures.




And here are the Gen pictures.




Conclusion:
NWBIG if you can live with the winding issue on the 3235 from VS factory. OOTB the best rep i ever had.

@derjenigewelcher

Genuine question (no pun intended) but have you ever picked up the watches and had to double check the serial on the rehaut to see which was which?

Like you've had one of them on your wrist and gone, hey wait a minute is this the rep or gen?

I've never held or had a GEN sub (congrats btw) so genuinely curious.

Thanks as always for the reviews / macro pictures

Sure - I had this model from VSF a year ago or so, and when I was selling I had to double check. I always do. Imagine, would be an expensive fault
Even if I was sure i would double check
If you never had one in hands that is gen, you cant tell its not gen. No chance.

What is the winding issue?

 

[Watchguy369]

What is the winding issue?

You can do research on @KJ2020 his postings sbout this. Basicly there is a part that should hold down the crown wheel while winding in the movement that has the quality of a rotten apple. As soon you have a amount of about 50-70% power winded up, the crown wheel rises a bit and it feels like winding is "slipping through".

VSF 126610 Submariner with VS3235 Latest Movement 72 Hours Power Reserve

Looking at my 126610 and my gen GMT II, I see a similar cyclops distortion on the gen. It’s not something I ever noticed. Yikes that's going to be hard to unsee, sorry bro. You might have saved us all a bunch of money though. I'm pretty easy when it comes to living with flaws - my gen 16710...

Folks, I have one of these on the way and am feeling a little nervy about movement reliability reading some of the later posts. Are folks getting these serviced on day 1 or is it a case of only those with ones that have developed issues are posting about them? I have two and I examined the...

VS3235 stopped working after 2 months

Hey guys, unfortunately my 2 month old VSF Datejust isn't working anymore. It all started yesterday when I was about to set the time. I screwed out the crown and tried to get it into the third position to set the time. The first thing I noticed is that my crown doesn't snap into any fixed...

Thank you for taking the time to do this review. It's mindboggling how good VSF replicas have become, isn't it? When worn on the wrist, even in a static position, i.e., inside a Starbucks reading, the primary way to tell it's not a GEN is the wearer. This is how close we have come now.

For the Subs, VSF is second to none. Grab one when you still can before the next round of raids
