It is VSF from earlier batches, currently the clasp Code is 1LQ or 3VV

Thanks for clarifying bro, thought it was already a newer batch

Can anyone tell me if the movement in the last batch VSF 114060 mounts the real 3130 clone?

It comes with vs 3130 - a decorated by VSF 3130 clone movement. Hope that helps?

Rehaut misaligned (to far right).
What do you think, acceptable or even a known flaw for vsf hulk?

Not uncommon on gen buddy.

Clasp code is 7GJ. From what I can read in this thread this is from older badges.
How does this badge compare to the latest ones?

Everything else looks very good in my opinion on the new K25 hulk badge.

Will post pics here after GL

AFAIK 7GJ still is current clasp code for 11 series.

1LQ and 3VV are on 12 series.

Correct.
@Adidos Don't complicate...it is a rep. The rehaut is ok (you can find it on gens also).

Just approved QC for the hulk.
Here are a couple of pics to show latest K25 badge of the 116610LV.

Not sure if just light condition but I have the feeling the dial looks more Gen (less flashy) than pictures of older vsf hulks I saw.

You are right, the dial has been updated in the last batches. it's darker, less flashy and in low light it looks almost black. Is not the same, but is very close to gen.
Congrats, you will be happy with this one

Yes it's very close to MK3 gen...this is why i love (and bought) the 1st and 2nd gen short ft marks. In previous versions you can clearly see the gold dust in the green color of the dial

Hi all,

Sort of a noob here. From what I am reading, it looks like K25 is the latest generation VSF with the updated dial, but what is the latest clasp code? I am seeing a lot of confusion between 7GJ and 1LQ or 3VV.

TIA

Got my first rep and it just arrived. Very happy with the VSF quality.

Vsf 126610LN latest Q66 batch.

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

Yeah I know it's a possibility, but I'm not comfortable taking apart really anything but the bracelet (yet at least) so I'll probable take it to a watchsmith sooner or later.
