I have an order from the same TD from RG that u/symons87 purchased his 126610LV, which was suppose to be from VSF factory. However u/pmtu noted that his u/symons87 QC pics are not from VSF but from JVS factory which is apparent when looking at the serial numbers. Either the TD from RG is knowingly trying to bait and switch VSF for JVS or he is ignorant of the change from his supplier. Regardless, I may still keep my order up to see how JVS stands up.

I had a similar story, also with a TD from RG who sent me these QC pics. When I pushed back that the S/N did not correspond with any known ones from VSF, he stated that because of the raids, VSF has gone to another case manufacturer and is now sourcing from them. Hence the new S/N. My order was then cancelled and my money was refunded.

I'm keeping mine and will post more pics when I get it. The movement is not as nice as VSF

Look forward to seeing what you get. Interesting that your QC pics included a shot of the movement, as mine did not.

this morning I received QC of my ... (hypothetical VSF) .. I have no rehaut photos, so I asked if you send them to me.
beyond this, mine in the QC also has the label with a green corner and the stamp 25 attached to the caseback ... do I have to worry?

p.s. bracelet code 6hs

Both look pretty good to me. I may pick one of these up if the 126610LV I ordered from this factory turns out good.

Looks like the cut the datewheel out with a butter knife.
