I have never had problems with JTIME, if the clock arrives broken it is sufficient to send it back

It's not Amazon, just ordered a new VS3235 movement, hope that will fix it. 
Asked the TD if he would think about me (financially) with my next order.

Your post count could say 28903272. Means nothing because you're completely wrong in your assessment.
Wow a know it all when it comes to business hahaha ok bud. I didn’t even give an assessment. Did you have to look that word up?
Anyways, enough with you, hope you get your watch running my man. Sorry you have to deal with that after waiting a while for the watch.

I see that in the m2m section, it is often stated that the VSF Submariner is "pre-Raid". I know there was a raid on VSF some time ago, and it is now operating normally again. My question is, is there really a difference in quality/design between their pre-raid and post-raid reps?

Raid was March 2021 and yes! IMHO the quality was better pre raid. Especially with PAMs & Omegas.

In relation to 116610LN, what do you think would be the negative changes in quality after the raid?

Ohhhh now this is lovely. I don't take my VSF 116610 off as a daily. Except when sailing. I've got a YM2. This might be the winner to sub (
) in!! I have been looking for a 226659 on EF but I genuinely think looking at this... sticking to Sub and going no date is the way 
(just to check this is a 114060?)

Yes it is 114060 ;-)...but with all gen parts on vsf baseOhhhh ora questo è adorabile. Non tolgo il mio VSF 116610 ogni giorno. Tranne quando si naviga. Ho un YM2. Questo potrebbe essere il vincitore a subentrare (

I am also very happy with my 116610LN post-raid! It is just great.
I just find it interesting to know what's gotten worse in terms of quality/perfection after the raid.

I suspect movement, different suppliers etc. Very visible with Omega & PAMs. I have a YL / Blue dial VSF inbound. I will revert with update on quality.

I heard about the winding thing not engaging for some of the VS movements, can you get it to start by swinging it gently back and forth? That sucks that it’s DOA.
I am just at the point of parting this watch out and selling it to get my funds back and buy another VSF Submariner.

Quality has never been this good than on latest VSF 126610 serial Q66 and clasp 1QL (3VV is sharper and feel flimsier). Maybe I was lucky but it’s very close to perfect. Almost no bezel backplay, alignment is spot on, no SEL gap. Awesome bracelet and clasp feel. Honestly that’s a 9.75/10. The 0.25 being the lack of warranty and the lack of sentimental achievement that generally comes with a Rolex purchase.

only the white gold is missing in the indexes and hands and the real platinum in the engravings of the insert. For the rest it is perfect!Quality has never been this good than on latest VSF 126610 serial Q66 and clasp 1QL (3VV is sharper and feel flimsier). Maybe I was lucky but it’s very close to perfect.

Hello everyone Finally, I was able to test my watch properly by going on vacation with them, where they worked for a week without stopping on my wrist.
Now I have returned home, they stopped and when I needed to set the time, I could not pull the crown to the third position.
I used to gently pry it with my fingernail, stop the second hand and set the time. Now, up to 2 positions, it is still easily pulled out with a fingernail, but in 3 positions, if only you wrap your fingers around the crown and pull it out. (sometimes it still turns out to pull it out with a fingernail, but rarely)
Is this a serious problem that portends a broken crown?
