I was thinking what reference I would want if the AD said I could receive it in ~6 months and I actually have to plunk down the cash.
My answer was the Starbucks 41mm after much internal debate.
Given that, I am interested in upgrading my VSF Starbucks a bit to the extent possible.
What would the experts recommend? I have the latest version VSF received about a month ago.
- Gen crystal?
-Gen crown?
-CF insert?
-Gen hands (very hard to find)?
-CF 41 dial (is it better?)
Really interested in your opinion here!! Thanks,

I think the gen crystal is a good upgrade. The rest would cost you a lot of money so it really boils down to how much you are willing to spend.

VSF 116610LN with 1NQ bracelet, any thoughts or experience? I’m concerned since 1NQ is reported as an inferior quality Noob v12..
1NQ = Noob v12 bracelet.

The sad think is, every factory now is just using left parts and assembling. VSF releasing models as a new factory etc. its just wierd atm

Why is the Date wheel font of VSF thin? It should be easy fix for them as they make the best subs, why they're not correcting it? The Thin Date wheel Font is one of the most Noticeable tell imho.
From what Factory has the Closest to Gen and Bold font Date wheel can we acquire from our TD or from ebay etc that's drop in compatible with VSF.
And as for the Bracelet, which factory has closest to gen or the best upgrade option for 126610 with Sharp prominent recessed SEL?
Would like to upgrade the Date wheel and Bracelet.
Thank you.

The date wheel was an issue for me too and I have since replaced with gen.

Care yo give more details regarding the bracelet and what the issues are with the VSF? Perhaps a photo comparison?

What was the issue on the vsf date wheel for you, do you also find it Thin as compared to Gen?
If I may ask, where and around how much costed you for the Gen DW upgrade? Thanks

As for the vsf bracelet, same as others here noticed the SEL could be sharper and more pronounced, many prefer the ARF/Clean bracelet if I'm not mistaken. Others pls correct if there are better options for the bracelet.
Aside from the DW and bracelet, i like everything on my VSF 126610.

Qual è stato per te il problema con la ruota della data vsf, la trovi sottile anche rispetto a Gen?
Se posso chiedere, dove e quanto ti è costato per l'aggiornamento Gen DW? Grazie

Per quanto riguarda il braccialetto vsf, come altri qui hanno notato che il SEL potrebbe essere più nitido e pronunciato, molti preferiscono il braccialetto ARF/Clean se non sbaglio. Altri si prega di correggere se ci sono opzioni migliori per il braccialetto.
A parte il DW e il braccialetto, mi piace tutto sul mio VSF 126610.
Rehaut?
