I decided to go for the VSF 126610. Now I heard that VSF does black better then other colors. Is the 126610LN all black a better rep then the 126610LV? All black if the safer choice no doubt and could see how the green would be harder to replicate accurately and also could make the watch seem "cheaper". Also heard some reports that the LV actually uses a different bracelet attachment then the LN, like a plastic quick attachment release instead of metal with the LN bracelet. Any feedback on the ln vs lv for the 12 series of VSF?

Report of diff bracelet
There is a good comparison from Steve about the differences of the 126610LV between the factories and the gen.

12 series wears bigger.

11 series is the better watch for a smaller wrist.

11 series VSF is the better replica watch, it’s closer to gen.

best buy.. 11 hulk, 12 LN.
Would you choose Submariner Black 116610LN over Submariner 126610LN ? I have no clear which one to choose? Reasons? Thanks!!!

Choose the one that you prefer, he already gave you the main differences between the 2 watches, only you know which one you like better, if you have a big or a small wrist and what aspects are important for you

It's a matter of personal preference on the appearance.

Although the 11 series is 40mm compared to the 41mm of the 12 series, the 11 series has more wrist presence because of the maxi case. Looks more utilitarian and "Tool-esque."
The 12 series is has thinner lugs, tapering into into a 21mm bracelet for a streamlined look. More aesthetically pleasing.

Both are beautiful in their ways, but I prefer the 11 series because of the stronger look of the maxi case.

Clean does not have the same movement as VSF
Clean has the same movement for the 3135 Vs now. Seems like westerners prefer VSF. Funny enough, seems in the east Clean is bigger and actually more expensive then VSF. You can use google translate and read reviews that say Clean is the better choice over VSF. Heard alot of those review blogs that hype Clean though are selling Clean watches. Basically at the end of the day it is hard to discern overall which is the better rep as much is personal preference. I recently went VSF 126610. At least with the 12 line, VSF is the best choice due to no other factories using their movement 3235. Makes the choice somewhat easier to decide that way 😆.

I think personal preference is based on pics. Get both in hand and you will see CF is not as good build quality. VSF has gen like bezel and crown action and feels like a gen watch. CF has replica watch bezel and crown action and feels like a fake watch. You can’t see that in pics and until you have seen a VSF yourself you don’t know what you are missing.
I may be wrong, CF may have improved, but when I got a ZZF Submariner (the old name for CF) it was a cheap feeling poorly built watch, not like VSF.
