Do you think the movement needs servicing too on these?
I never serviced nor mod any of my Nautilus, but I just noticed the second hand on my blue one is skipping on half of the watch before between 11 and 6

Some people prefer to have a full movement service done right away, while others prefer to wait till the movement has issues. There's no right answer. I prefer to do full movement servicing, water pressure testing, and replace gaskets sooner rather than later.

Received my vsf no-date recently..
I've noticed intermittent loud ticking noises (not referring to the pallet fork obviously).
As it happens whenever it's shifted side-to-side, I'm suspecting it might just be the rotor.
video recording. turn up volume.

Just received my 126610LV from VAF and I have to say that the bracelet it’s worst than expected. I got the 3VV bracelet and I feel like the quality has been reduced a lot. Sels aren’t good as they were, and the clasp I got it’s terrible (the glidelock it’s stuck and it looks raw on the inside). Am I the only one?
mine (k25) came with a 7GJ bracelet. SELS are okay i guess, glidelock mechanism works and isn't too tight, though inside of the clasp near the glidelock is unpolished as well (raw?).
Remove the bracelet and soak it in baby oil or degreaser/WD40 for 24hrs, then clean it properly with a toothbrush and soap. It will make the operation 100x better.
The inside where the glidelock is meant to be raw as in no polish or anything. Thats how the gens are as well.
I’ll definitely try this method! I thought it was a problem of the new clasp since the one on my 116610ln (vsf) has a completely different finish on the inside
I just received my K25 hulk and overall very impressed, there were a couple of issues like bezel action isn't as smooth and the finishing of the clasp wasn't great so I swapped the bracelet for an AR+ factory hulk I had and I'm now very happy with it.....

VSF. Another Thoroughly checked QC from my TD [email protected],
he replies fast through email very easy communication vs other TDs I contacted before.
I asked which is the most recent batch/release from my Trusted Dealer, he chose A01 serial with 6SH bracelet. Very happy with this piece, I have other case serials 116610 before this and a 126610, i prefer by far the overall quality of this A01 6SH combination piece. Most Noticeable difference are better bezel action/play, crown adjustment function/thread, stable accurate movement and very quiet, as for the bracelet the GlideLock is smooth as butter, my previous other 116s are gritty and SEL on this one is more pronounced has sharper edges than my other 116s.

Those/that SEL is a vast improvement over the blunt one that came before.Received the 114060 today
I'm wondering, there are many recent complaints of crap VSF bracelet and clasp, which is at odds with my own findings, each of my VSF watches have a really good gen like bracelet and clasp/glidelock (SEL step is flawed though), so is this a the new bracelet with a crap clasp but good endlinks that were getting now?
Had a quick question. Bought my first rep that wasn’t a Franken recently m2m. It’s a vsf 126610. I don’t have much experience with reps so I wanted to get some insight. When I give the watch a gentle shake, I can hear quite a lot of movement inside the case. Is this normal? Appreciate the responses in advance.
