I see what you refer too, wouldn't get too fussed about it though, it's near enough to not need the expense, must be the same price as the watch again just to do a gen DW.

I found the text too thin compared to gen. It costs me €200 for the gen DW plus labour to install which was part of a service and waterproof testing.
I do not see any issues with my SEL. See below. Is this not as sharp as gen?

I think just about other 126 bracelet will have better SEL's than the VSF one. A
No, that looks either fake or previously polished to me. Go look at gen (or CF) SEL's.I found the text too thin compared to gen. It costs me €200 for the gen DW plus labour to install which was part of a service and waterproof testing.

That’s a far cry from your previous post with no mention of the inferior vsf SEL;
VSF 116610 - v- Rolex 116610 Picture shoot out!
Here we go guys, the one we’ve been waiting for.. These are more or less identical, only a fooool pay £10,000 instead of under £400. VSF have killed it. I very much doubt you will find a better Submariner replica though I admit I have not inspected them all. We all know the movement is butter...

I must be blind but I cannot see anything wrong with the SEL on my VSF compared to gen

We are discussing 126, you are pulling my quotes from a 116 thread, not even the same watch. The 126 SEL on VSF are rubbish, this is well covered, they are shallow and soft edged.That’s a far cry from your previous post with no mention of the inferior vsf SEL;

If you can't see the differeces between your watch and gen, power to you. Once your attention is drawn to flaws, the party of over and there is no going back.
So you would mod the VSF 126 into the CF case somehow to improve on the SELs?

No, I wouldn't do anything. I don't take it that seriously. If I was to do anything, I'd find a bracelet with better SEL's there are lots to choose from. Which one? I dont know I have not researched it. While they look good they may not feel good. The CF one looks good, its your luck if any other bracelt will fit properly with good recess.
Me, I'll wait until VSF improve it then I'll buy another and sell the crap one. I wear gen Rolex.

Excuse my ignorance, how can you tell if you have a 116 or a 126?
I have looked at gen picks and compared to mine and I cannot see any differences in the SEL’s. Not being able to see it is doing my head in.

Most obvious tell from the front is the width of the lugs. 116 have maxi case with broader lugs, 126 are thinner. From the back the clasp of the 126 is wider than on the 116Excuse my ignorance, how can you tell if you have a 116 or a 126?

Can someone please post a photo of the 126 SEL against a gen, marked up with circles to pinpoint this difference?
Would an AD spot it if you walked in to a store?

There's details of this earlier in this thread with detailed pics I believe
BTW walking into an AD with a rep on your wrist is a bannable offense, just FYI
I did look for it through the thread, however the discussion was being had here so I thought I’d ask.
Walking in to an AD wearing a rep was a metaphor. As in, is the rep so good that someone who knows Rolex well would be able to tell it’s a rep.

Some great reading as always, few questions:
1. How do you know all the serial codes and what build they were ?
2. Are there legit VSF atm ?, or are most build from pre raid parts ?
so much info on here and r/Reptime its hard for me to keep track. Was looking to place an order for a VSF soon. Also, as I have a small wrist, a 40mm date sub would prob fit best, are these older parts / movement compared to the new 41mm ?
thanks in adv

After reading about the ‘inferior’ VSF SEL’s on my ‘126’ has now made me go from being absolutely in love with my franken 116610LN to loathing it, even though I cannot even see the problem with the SEL’s.
I think that knowing that others can see the issue with the SEL’s and on my watch makes me dislike it.

1LQ CF bracelet on VSF 126610, here are my two cents when compared to my experience with 3VV and 1LQ VSF bracelets.
CF SEL mid step is taller and sharper than VSF, significantly more genlike. CF SEL recess profile is also better than VSF, VSF SEL flattens out as you travel ‘up’ the lug (towards the watch away from lug tip).
But SEL fitment on the CF bracelet is inferior to VSF, mine has side to side play while my VSF does not. There is also more play between the SEL male and first link on the CF than the VSF bracelet.
Clasp is built and finished better on the CF. VSF glidelock is significantly smoother with less play. CF fliplock locking action feels more solid and genlike but the fliplock itself moves freely while the VSF fliplock doesn’t.
Just like everything in the repworld - pick your poison. I’m sure there’s plenty of variation from bracelet to bracelet so YMMV too.
