Yes, the VSF 114060 is an excellent showcase. The only problem with mine is that it has a very loose bezel mechanics. Can this be fixed by changing to a new hytrel ring of the bezel? Any idea?

Is the s39 serial for the 116610ln good? The bracelet has code 7gj. Is it a good version?

I vote to get another model. Something with a bit of colour and spice :p If you have two black ceramic subs you might just end up wearing the no date more because the other is a pain in the ass to set the date so often ;) haha. I love the VSF no date.. need one in my life one day.

I noticed that VSF sels (116 and 126) are getting worse in the latest batches. Any idea how improve them? Changing springbars?

I'd also say go with another model....I agree with @McDuck888 you won't want to wear the date in the same color. Go for a (Hulk) 116610 LV or if you still want some Black a Starbucks (126610 LV)

the sels seem perfect to me even in the latest versions. what flaws do you notice?

Here you can see my last 126 LN with worse sels, I got another one LV about 1,5 year ago and it was better…very tight sels as gen

@mhrboy you also mentioned the bad SEL on the 116. Can you perhaps post a few pics of that as well?
My only consideration is that my VSF SUBs produced about 1,5 year ago have very solid SELs without any play and tight tolerances. Recently I bought something from latest batches and SELs have some play and large tolerances.
Someone noticed the same thing? Otherwise I were unlucky ;)

  • Question:
I'm looking for somebody who can tell me something about the
  • Submariner DIW Sandblasted VSF 1:1 Best Edition Brown Dial on SS Bracelet VS3135
How is the quality and how does this piece feel like?
Is there any obvious flaw on/at the watch?
Since I found nothing here in RWI about DiW I need a little help.

Thanks to all of you!
