The VSF Submariners Thread

[Tompa]

This is my 1LQ

Bro only solution for you is to buy a gen Rolex. You worry to mutch for your own good, its not good for your health bro. Just enjoy your awsome sub instead of think and over analyse every part of the watch

K25 Serial VSF 116610 with Gen DW and Prof Crystal. Purchased this locally.

VSF Hands look damn good in this batch.
The insert indices has definitely gone darker/dull. The previous owner probably went swimming with it is the reason why. Has this happened to anyone else regarding the VSF stock insert?

Congrats again!

From my experience , vsf bezel just darken over time regardless how you wear it , I have some not been worn outside the house still fade over time ... Not sure if it's aging of the pigment or just oxidation ?

It seems that I will have to try to sell this copy and try to find a new one where at least this "hole" will not be so noticeable.
Moreover, I see it on official Rolex videos, but it is always visible only from a certain angle. Mine ALWAYS shines like a spotlight) Although if you look under a microscope, you can see that in fact the hole is very small and it is located exactly under the hands of the watch.
Youtube RX dial dimple
I uploaded the video to YouTube
P.S. It's a pity, because it looks like I got a great movement. The watch arrived on the 21st in the morning, it's almost evening on the 24th and it's still working, although I've never worn it.

First of all....your watch is a replica (fake) and its gorgeous.

If this is really bothering you that much then, like others have said, you will never be happy with a rep. What happens if the next one fixes this issue but you find another small niggle that you cant live with?

I am new to RWI. After many years of buying nothing but Gen, Rolex, Omega, Panerai and Breitling watches, I have bought 2 Reps in the last 90 days. I also went through the QC process and while they are nearly perfect on the wrist, they both have small issues that you can either live with or address with mods. I choose to live with the minor ones that can only be seen under magnification. I have purchased many tools and modded each watch with Deep xtals and on one of them (SUB), I am adding the newer CF Bezel insert since the watch was bought from another RWI member. Are there other things that bother me? Yes and maybe as time goes on I will address them in the future. For now I am enjoying them on my wrist and nobody (except the Mrs) knows they are fake.

I am not trying to put you down or question your intent to find a perfect fake watch. I am hoping that you embrace this as a hobby that we all share here in RWI.

I wish I was in the market for a Starbucks..........

Yes, I totally agree with you. I watched a lot of gen videos today and saw that most of them have this "flaw". I would put up with it without any problems, but it annoys me that, unlike gen, it is always visible when I look at my wrist. In gen, it seems to me that it can only be seen from a certain angle. I also looked at a lot of vsf photos and almost all of them show this "black hole" much less than mine)
So at this moment, the only thing that pisses me off is that it's visible all the time.

Buy a gen. Obviously the replica that's a fractional price , is not good enough for you.

Maybe it's easier to find a rep where there is no this problem?)
P.S. For many Russians, the price of even this copy is 2 monthly salaries)) But let's not talk about sad things here

 

[DzR-ALF]

In fact, if there were people here who would have this sh*t look exactly like mine, then it would be much easier for me
At the moment I have a feeling that I got the worst copy in this regard)

You've lost your mind if you think a fake watch exists that has no issues. As far as where you live, that's on you.

The dimple you have shown is known on many enamel Rolex dials.

I have seen it on sea dwellers as well.

Yes, I know. It can be seen even on the official Rolex video) All I'm trying to figure out is whether everyone sees it all the time (like me) or many people only see it from a certain angle? It seems to me that the problem with my watch is that it is always visible.
And the second thing I want to understand is whether it looks too huge. Again, if many have it about the same size, then I will be calm)
I hope I was able to formulate my thought more precisely and translate it

 

[DzR-ALF]

By the way, I've been thinking. Could it be that VSF dialed ZZF dials from somewhere for some batches of watches? It's just that such huge dial dump were on the zzf dials

Yes yours does look more severe, could be just a luck thing where yours showing up more obvious. If you can't live with that better get it replace for your own piece of mind

This is how mine look like , 2R serial batch

If it would look like this for me, I would be happy)


It was taken on the street. The smallest thing I could catch. It usually looks bigger:

something went wrong and the rest of the photos didn't load)))

And this is what I found on some videos with gen))) Almost like me)) However, for some reason on gen it is visible only from a certain angle, and not always, as with me (

 

[rolexsub1]

Just sell this one if you dont like it and really bothers you and buy another one, it is simple.. For two full pages only this is talked about.

 

[rolexsub1]

Because you have no other options in this case. Only franken it
