There's a viewpoint that while the 12 is physically bigger it seems to "wear" smaller, or at least more like the 5-digits or even 4-digits did than the 11 does. IDK for sure (?)
It does not wear like a 5 digit and can tell you that much. Much heavier and wider
126610 looks great but I don't like the new bracelet! There is no gap almost between links and it's not thin at the end of it next to the buckle so it's not the famous Rolex marks.

Received qc of vsf 126610 with case 2R9 and 1lq clasp. TD says they ordered this watch 5 days ago from vsf. Is vsf still sending out 2R9 or is this new/old stock.
Hi all. New member here. Hope I'm asking this questions in the correct thread.
I'm about to pull the trigger on a VSF 126610LN. As far as I can tell VSF knocked it out of the park with this one and made it NWBIG.
I currently have a CF Pepsi, and have never dared to wear it swimming, but have cleaned it in water a few times.
My question regarding the VSF 12 series subs - How good is the factory waterproofing really? Is it a lottery basically? Can I rinse it with water? Wear it in the pool?

Oh, one more thing! (is there no option to edit???)
The bezel on my CF Pepsi has a slight offset, meaning that triangle pointing directly at 12 is between clicks (unfortunatly they positioned it correctly for QC pics). Bezel action is obviously different from GMT to Sub, but have seen it mentioned before that a similar issue can be present on VSF Subs. Is that something I should be concerned of or not at all likely to be the case?

Got it. Thanks! Was wondering if I was just stupid for not being able to find it.
My CF Pepsi's bezel is stiff enough that it will stay where I put it between clicks (although I wouldn't really call those notches clicks). My CF no date sub is ever so slightly off but not really noticeable. Rolex can't even get it right themselves though, I was in the AD the other day looking at a sub date comparing bezel action, and the gen watch was the exact same, ever so slightly off from 12
Yeah mine is far enough off that it's noticeable, but close enough that if I position it at 12 it'll spring back if i touch it again or move around a bit. Interesting that it happens on Gens as well. I was not aware.
And agreed, not really clicks - bumps maybe more like it.

If its really noticeable or bothers you with the triangle not fully aligned at the 12 o’clock position, you can adjust the insert position by removing it and putting it on at the correct position, then it’ll be perfectly aligned. There are some threads outs there that shows how to remove/install the insert

With the correct tools, yes. But not everyone is comfortable modifying stuff, its easier to just get one that doesn't need adjustment. That's why I like to buy m2m instead of direct from TDs, you have to wait longer for the stuff you want but at least you know exactly what you're getting
I didn't know this. I hated all the adds and loved the content so I became a supporter on day one. I had no idea that post editing was a privilege I received for becoming a supporter.You learn something new everyday.
