Are you absolutely positive you bought from the correct TD and not one of the fake websites? Have you purchased from this TD before?

Hi all, got delivered a 116610ln instead of a 126610ln and as a newbie to reps I was wondering if there is a significant difference in the two. Is it worth returning or are the differences not big enough to notice?
Its 2 different watches bro. One is 40mm and the other is 41. One is 40h pr and the other have 70h pr. For me the 126 is my favorite, But the vsf 116 is known to be the best sub, so you got a killer watch. I think you will be happy with it.

And returning a watch to china is risky

Thanks guys. I did buy off a TD here and he has responded to me through this site saying he’ll get back to me so I think it is a genuine mistake. Appreciate all your advice as I certainly don’t want a 2 yr old rep and the more I think about it the more I want the 41mm.

I had both ZF and VSF(newer version) in my hands and gotta be honest, the ZF dial is still better. But only the dial and rehaut though. Everything else the VSF wins. But I keep my Hulk rep solely for that deep sunburst green dial so naturally I chose the ZF. Hope this helps.
do you have gen hulk to compare it with? i think the dark green hue is the same for both. based on the videos, only the sunburst is wrong with vsf v2. so as long as you where it in low light or at night only, i think it should not be a problem for vsf. but im buying both vsf and zf newest versions because i want to see the difference in my naked eye.

Right right. The 3235 is worth it for the extra power reserve especially if you have more than one watch in the rotation.

Power reserve is overated especially in a rep. I really dont see unwinding the crown as a chore
Fair, but I'm talking more if someone has several watches and doesn't wear the 126610 every day to keep PR topped off. It's not a "chore" but the less you have to wind a rep the better off you are IMO.

I never change a watch without winding and resetting the time regardless of whether its going or not. I cant think of an actual situation where having 70 hours of power reserve makes a discernable difference to anything over 40 hours. Plus gen 3235 movements have more issues as a new movement than a perfected 3135 movement over 30 years.
