the other option would be to wait for the RF, as it seems promising. But who knows when this is going to happen.
The main question for both of them will be about the reliability of the movement, being “new” factories with zero reviews is not the best.
I’ve been reading this forum for years now, and one thing is clear: the rep world is challenging!

I agree with regards to the movement. It appears that the MIF 126610 has the SA3235 movement which is a concern for me. I saw a recent post warning to avoid this movement.

I wonder if there is any truth to the rumour that Clean is going to release a 126610 ..... ? Because ideally, that's what I'd really like given that VSF is in hiding somewhere ... Haha.

Have heard that CLEAN is about to release 126 subs and 41mm DJ, DJ first....then subs to follow soon after....using Shanghai 3235, also known as vr3235, same as RF VVSF.

Yep. I've put the brakes on the MIF purchase I was about to make. Although that's hard to do when money is burning a hole in your pocket ! I've decided to wait until the rumoured RF releases their 126610 or Clean releases theirs. Ideally, they would release them at the same time and I'd get to choose Hahaha ! Going back to the very first post made by Trustytime on this thread, the RF looks really good !

Personally, because I've never seen an RF rep, but I have had a Clean GMT, I'd go with Clean.....just my two pennies worth.....RF a bit unknown at the moment...

Wouldnt the easiest way to check if you have VSF or RF is by checking the movement or are they both the same?

I tried to find both movements to compare but didn't have much luck. If anyone can post both movements up that would be appreciated.

Is it possible Andrew shot his wad too early on this one?. I've heard a lot of talk about "RF" (Rumor Factory?) but, until I see a review from an actual buyer, it's just talk, talk, talk..
