I don't know if it's okay to ask here but:
I'm looking at 126610LN for some time already.
Is it likely that the date is misaligned nowadays?
Since there soon will be a 124060LN with the right movement I'm unsure what to do now.

How did you come to this conclusion ?

I may have seen some images earlier and somehow it got stuck in my head.
Sorry, but good, that this does not seem to be an issue.

Maybe

Keen to get your thoughts on this dial, supposedly (new and) gen.

Looks like it's a 2016 variant based on the '=' sign being closer to the ft, the m spacing ie '300 m' and the tip of the t in 'ft' not pointing straight up...

Not sure if the the text below 'ROLEX' and below 'SUBMARINER' looks too bold?

Definitely looks gen

In the end I managed to get hold of a long 'f' dial locally in mint condition and was being sold locally.

Certainly have learnt a lot about the various sub dial variations.

How much is a NOS sub dial these days?

How much is a NOS sub dial these days?

I've been offered a mint, 40mm dial (but not NOS) for £450 which I thought was reasonable.

This is the one:

Ideally you would need fat font dial in case of VSF as these are replicating 2018+ models.

But non fat dont dial with non double line rehaut case still matches the 2016-2017 models so it would still look more or less period correct.

If pre 2016 meaning 2015 and older you would need dobule line rehaut case and sand blasted clasp to be period correct.

But all that is nitpicking my SubC franken also had non period correct dial and I didnt care

My first rep in my life has arrived.
Serial number Q66 with bracelet number 1LQ
I'm not familiar with the gen bracelet, but I don't notice any sharp corners on this one.
Of the minuses - the clasp is not like gen (Somehow they screwed up with this clasp
Crystal and cyclops looked really great!

looks good ...which factory is it from?

The place that I circled on the clasp does not look like on gen. This problem is only on the belt with the number 1LQ. I do not know how to explain this in English, so I will attach someone else's screenshot from another topic)



Well, there are 2 more drawbacks for me personally as a perfectionist (which are constantly found on gen) this is the index of the bezel at 12 o'clock, which is offset by less than half a click and the index of the "5 o'clock" mark, which is shifted quite a bit to the left, but it constantly catches my eye, although there is an offset of less than a millimeter))
It's hard to be a perfectionist)))

Thank you!)

hard to be a perfectionist.....buying replica's

On gen, the same shit with the indexes of the bezel and dial or even worse happens to come across))

I think it looks right. I’ve seen that gap on gens before. For another perspective, here is the clasp on my VSF 166610LV:
