Just received my VSF 116610LV and although not a direct comparison with my JVS 126610LV; I thought a couple quick pics would be helpful.

Initial impressions: JVS is better. It has better bezel action, VSF turns too easily and sounds cheaper. JVS bezel has a little weight behind it but still remains easy to turn. The bracelet is also better out of the box. JVS again has more heft and solid feeling. JVS surprisingly winds smoother than the VSF. Crystal is fairly equivalent. VSF wins in regards to case shape, with more angled crown guards.

Also received a JVS 114060 and compared to my ZZF 114060, it easily crushes it.

Thanks for the pics bro, every shot helps, and in hand opinions are appreciated! I think the JVS CGs are not so bad - a little fat and the outside entry curves into the CGs are a little too gradual but the side view angles are not off much so this alone shouldn't be a dealbreaker. Without a gen (or a VS, lol) nearby, it would take a sharp eye to pick up on this. The VS 126 outside entry curves into the CGs are really a little too sharp maybe.

[mention]btrizzy1 [/mention] What is the serial number on the JVS? Wondering if this is the V1 or 2, because I’m not even sure what the difference is anymore. Thank you for posting the pics!

As far as I know, the V1 has the Serial "3M...." and the V2 "2R....." like the VSF.

Hont sent me pictures of a sub with 2R serial and says it's the second version of JVS.
It would be nice to know if it's really JVS.

apparently the different TDs have different information. some time ago i asked jvs trustytime, he replied that he didn't know the factory. then he inquired and posted the jvs subs on his site among the news.
jtime some time ago he told me not to treat jvs because of inferior quality to the others.

now it seems to confirm the expectations of heir do vsf .. hont seems the TD predestined to be, at least currently, the closest to the factory?

however, it has been a long time since there has been talk of a v2 for the 126610. so yes, recently a v2 with serial 2R has really been released.
