i only noted it because a lot of people nitpick about it and the review specifically stated that it had been corrected but it has not. i don't personally care if it floats or not.

This is an amazing review, got to say the OP is a top guy! He has said to me for a while that this VSF is the best Hulk out the box and pictures and this review backs this up.
This is one of my must haves! Have asked on WTB so hoping someone has one for sale.

Hello thanks nice review...
I just received the watch from Puretime: Submariner 116610 LV Green Ceramic 904L Steel VSF 1:1 Best Edition VS3135


I’m happy of the watch but the crown on the clasp… is very bad!!! Never got a clasp like this from my previous rep orders?!

I notice a huge difference from the QC picture also (att#1), and also I compared to another Daytona Clean I bought last order (att#2).

This crown on the clasp seems very cheap, flat, rough, foggy, opaque.

Could you please give any suggestion how to polish, or improve this looking crown?
Or should i ask for clasp replacement?

Thanks a lot

Here are 2 points for you to consider:
1. The Daytona has polished center links.
The Submariner is brushed.
2. Remove the protective plastic from your Submariner bracelet and it won't look rough and foggy. 😉

thanks bro, i know this is a brushed model, different compared to Daytona that has polished center.
I’m trying to explain that this piece i got has a strange crown, looking blurry, not sharp, thicker

So i’m asking your advice looking at my pictures if that is really the case as other user are reporting about VSF, or it is only my feeling, and that crown is ok.
And possible solutions:
polish a little bit, not to look shine, to smooth it
or find another clasp
