Noted some VSF sub drops on PT. Did VSF update the 126610? IMHO - looks like a crystal may have received an update, thoughts?

Thanks for this amazing thread. I just received my sub last week and I love it. The only gripe I have is that the bezel is unusually tight and is fairly hard to turn. I have pretty strong fingers so this is not an exaggeration. The dealer has offered to repair/replace if I send it back, but I'm wondering if this is worth the trouble, or if it will even result in a better feel? Thanks for your input.

Not worth it in my opinion, better to keep it as is it may work itself "in"

On my vsf date bezel turns very smoothly but Easley much like my ginault 2 even turns accidentally sometimes. In my opinion I'd keep it tight rather then sending it back and having it come back very loose...

Enjoy the sub they are indeed of great quality.

If your dealer is in China, do not send it back because it will more than likely disappear.

Always remember: It's better when it's a bit tight, rather than too loose. 😉

Just received my vsf 126610 lv with Q66 serial. Ordered from Ryan at InTime. I can say that I am very much impressed by the overall quality. Given the price nothing can be faulted really. Bracelet feels super smooth, bezel is clicking very very solid. And just the overall fit and finish is awesome, people should really enjoy it. Even the flaws pointed out by some can't bee seen with the naked eye.

Could not agree more. I'd rather have a bezel that is hard to rotate than one that turns at the slightest move, those drives me crazy and are usually one of the main reasons I end up selling the watch.

Got it. Thank you. I read a whole bunch of threads about them being too loose and guessed this might be the response. I'll keep it and enjoy it!

Again, thanks to everyone in this thread. I decided on VSF after reading it and I don't regret my decision at all.

guys i was reading something about extra polishing of the rehaut at a watchmaker. Since I was about to take a VSF 126610ln, do you think it would help on that type of rehaut?
