First impressions of the VSF116610LN

Will try to post some more shots today with the ARF bracelet on the VRF

Looks good

Mine was supposed to arrive today, too - but DHL handed it off to the USPS. Maybe tomorrow... Yours looks great, and I'm hoping a mineral oil bath will help with the feel of the bracelet. Everything else (except maybe the hands) seems to be of excellent quality.

Thank you for confirming my next buy. Awesome

Some not so good news.. tried swapping to the ARF Bracelet and it is not sitting properly. Can only get one side of the spring bar pin to engage. I’ve tried for the las half hour and regardless of how I try only one will engage at a time. Not sure what to try next

 

[CJS57]

Shorter spring bar?

 

[7five7]

Shorter spring bar?

Does not seem like that’s the problem the spring bar still has play and retracts more just won’t align properly

 

[KJ2020]

If you have some spare springbars you could try slightly bending both tips (the whole part that compresses inward). After bending, check to ensure the compressibility is not compromised. I have a few reps that I've had to do that on to get bracelets to attach.

Thanks man!

Can’t comment on feel but imho vsf looks better ootb than this ARF with gen parts (no offense to your Franken)

Very nice first impressions, I appreciate it and know a lot of the forums do.

Back to the bracelet thing, that is a bummer. Well, we all knew ARF did amazing bracelets, lets hope the ZF bracelet will be equally as good. About the fitting on the VSF, that sucks? I get what you mean, the springbars are the correct size, but the holes are not aligned well with the case, makes only one pop in. Try to do the tip KJ2020 gave you, that should work, but be careful as he says, don't compromise the compression part, might fall of your wrist.

I love the off-whitish crystalline texture of the Lume!

Hands really not bad folks come on

On the RXF, the bracelet was MASSIVELY improved by a mineral oil bath - deffo worth doing.

 

[ken21]

Very nice......thanks for share

It's this watch in fact RXF? Which way do you turn the crown to advance the hands? RXF will be anticlockwise, VSF clockwise (I think).

Can you still post a picture? How's the sel gap like with ARF bracelet + VSF case?

I think you're right !

 

[Saturns]

Could you not take of the SELs from the VSF bracelet and put them on the ARF bracelet? Then it should align ok?

 

[schulza]

OP's watch is a VSF
you can see it at the dial and rehaut, but can also easily checked by setting the time (clockwise is 3135)

 

[KJ2020]

The VSF 3135 dial has a slightly wider date window than the RXF 2824 dial. VSF date font is bolder also.

@7fve7 so the cyclops is further from the edge than gen? good eye! that probably helps give the VSF a genlike widemouth effect..
