Cermit arrived at factory, discussion about the way to go.
Easy peasy, shave the inside of the lugs 0.5mm, stick a SD bracelet on and a Hulk insert with a black dial. Ready next Tuesday.
The outer lug width is wider on the older generation ceramic Rolex so this wouldn't be accurate. Dial and bezel is also ~.3mm bigger.
Highly unlikely we will ever have a totally accurate 126610 rep. The rep factories will take the easiest road to close enough.
Not sure why you say that. If VSF takes this rep as serious as they do their omegas and the previous sub then I'll be on board. And given their track record there's no reason to think otherwise. It will probably take 6 months to a year however.

Even Rolex didn't bother making a new (or larger) insert to fit the 0.25mm larger diameter bezel. They just allowed an extra gap.
At least some rep factories if not many, will not bother to change dial or bezel size, or anything else besides shaving the lugs. It's close enough and not worth the trouble. Parts are already mass produced that can be used.
They're already doing this, in an even worse way.

You quoted me as soon as I modified my post, heh. I'm aware these subs take a few steps sideways with each release but VSF is really giving me hope.
This is a game to them. You're supposed to be lusting after and eventually buying the next version. Which will have a corrected flaw, but have another ( stupid ) one. It's a scheme.
Yeah but those look terrible. And as I said in my modified post I don't think a true rep will be out for six months. The case is drastically different to a veteran's eye. The pre 2020 case is much wider than the new generation, shaving the insides will look strange. Considering every factory is gunning for releasing the new replica I highly doubt all 5 factories will do such a thing. One will want to have the upper hand on the rest. At the very least a v2 by one of these factories will slim the case in the right way.
