Hello everyone, I have ordered the following watch and delivery is anticipated within the coming 2 weeks:

1- Submariner 126610LV 41mm VSF VS3235 (Starbucks)

Can anyone who recently bought the same watch tell me what Clasp/Bracelet/SEL Codes should I see when I get my QC photos received prior to shipping?
Would appreciate a response please, Thanks all.

My Starbucks has the Q66 serial and 3VV clasp/bracelet code. I think this is the latest version.

I have a VSF 116610 and I noticed on the TD sellers pages it usually mentions they are water resistant to about 50m. Whether this is accurate or not I don’t know.

My question is about cleaning the watch under a stream of water from the sink. Would this be safe? Anyone else do this?

I live in a hot climate and watches are exposed to a lot of sweat. I quickly rinse all my gen’s this way. Just don’t know if the VSF can handle it.

Do you know where I could find a detailed photo comparison between 116610LN Gen and VSF? I am getting my QCs and would need to have pics to compare with.

I'm still to see a quality screw-down crown rep that can't be cleaned that way. Buy from a dealer who does pressure test as part of QC.

It is just one way (among others) of ensuring authenticity and that you are getting a VSF not any other cheap factory watch.
This is RWI not Reddit, our dealers won't scam you. Forget everything you learned over there, it will make life a lot easier.

Has anyone waterproofed the 116610LN VSF? Without making any changes when it arrived from TD, did it pass the test?
