Hey guys, as I recently learn about the very similar to VSF, V6F brand, here’s my question:
How to spot a signature difference between a VSF116610 and a V6F one?

Just received my VSF 126610LN today and couldn’t be happier but I was wondering whether a new watch like this would be waterproof or do I have to get it checked before exposing to water?
Also, is there a simple guide to adjusting the bracelet as it could do with one link being taken out? I have some very small screwdrivers but don’t want to scratch the bracelet if something specific is required.
Many thanks.

Wearing a rep in water without having the gaskets lubed and the entire watch pressure tested is never advised and done at your own risk.

As for the bracelet link removals: it an easy job. Plus practice makes perfect.

Enjoy your submariner and wear in good health.

Looking at the lume shot the pearl looks centred
Thank you very much @mcboom .
Was asking in RepTime at the Same Time and everyone was mocking about the Pearl.

This made my decision so hard that i havent got an own opinion.
On some Pictures it looked strange but on QC Video okay.

Link for an Short QC Video:



Think Its central. Wasnt sure why a lot of People over there said its an Flaw which you cant unsee after you found it.

Im better staying here and asking my Questions 😅

I think they were just pulling your leg, because that pearl is fine. But it´s just my take.

Just received QC pics from Theonewatchs and I have a few concerns

It’s meant to be a VSF but has an 802B serial number. I’m sure this is a V6F model. I’ve searched across the forum and that viewpoint seems to be confirmed

The date wheel seems to move laterally with each move of the date wheel. I’ve looked at other videos and can’t observe this same movement

It looks like it is a V6F.
This all points to VSF having supply issues for their parts.

What part/parts of the watch looks like a v6f?
I believe the case has a V6F serial on it, not that it really matters if the rest of the watch has VSF parts.
I've often wondered if some watches are made up of different parts when supply dries up due to raids or supplier biffing wars.
At the moment it looks like VSF and Clean are in a bidding war for the GMT Dandong movement and Clean may be winning.

Definitely not an expert but,
1. Intime is a TD, meaning he can be trusted
2. It’s VSF vs Clean for the best Sub rep at the moment but, yeah IMHO VSF looks a couple of steps ahead
