I think everyone is late about the 2020 rolex card puretime

Or maybe you have some input about this?

Here's a replica of the new 2020 card, exclusive release apparently..

Including nfc chip (pointing to the warranty of your watch)
Specific rolex serial engraving (new sec measure)
And more... as per gen.

And yes it's a replica rolex store as well on background lol

Cool, so it's the same as the 2020 Tudor cards.

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.

I don't think that he was saying that you would have a totally accurate 126610 by doing that, just that it would be quick and dirty and not be too far off

Highly unlikely we will ever have a totally accurate 126610 rep. The rep factories will take the easiest road to close enough.

They should be as reasonably accurate as what we have now. And what we have now doesn't have messed up lug width aside from ARF. All have accurate dial and bezel size... 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. But yeah I can see them take crappy shortcuts until a real release.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yep, I agree and shared that sentiment a few times here (few steps sideways was basically what you stated in different words). My only point is if factories like VSF give the same effort they gave this previous gen sub I'd be satisfied. Shaving the inner lugs on the maxi case would look DHGate level bad and I don't think future subs will go that low in a year from now.

Maybe so bro, the Chinese are master replicators for sure. I wish Rolex hadn't made the bracelet so FFAT. This is what looks awful to me. Maybe it will grow on me but thinner lugs with a 20mm width between would have looked much better in my book.

Sweet spot here, this looks so much better

Nearer than you think

Yep, it's as you say, it's just the truth.

But apparently if someone thinks that that's the case they must STFU and they must not dare say it, because there are ways and ways, theirs is wrong, someone else's is better (even if we never got to know what the better way was)
