First order placed with Elliott for the 126610LV VSF Starbucks this morning and looking forward to receiving this.

Thank you for all the previous posts on the different factories and comparisons. I have truly learnt a lot from reading over the past couple of days!

Decided to go with Andiotwatches and will upload some photos once the watch arrives.

Exciting times ahead!
Thanks all

First impressions is that the watch feels really nice and quality is good. The strap size adjuster doesn't slide as smooth as GEN but this was expected and once the size is set for your wrist not a concern to be worrying about. Bezel looks great and the hands seem to move as smooth as my GEN Deep Sea.

A relative has a GEN Submariner in black so I will do a comparison with that watch soon.

In my opinion apart from the feeling of winding of the watch and the smoothness of the adjuster (strap) there isn't alot of difference between this VSF replica from Andiot Watches and GEN.

No comment on the internals as I am no expert but I believe from some research this is where differences will be spotted.

Overall very happy with the purchase!

Thank you Andiot Watches (Elliott Black)
