I have both 2R9 and Q66. The only thing I can tell, and these are very very subtle, almost indistinguishable, are: bezel engravings are a little deeper, pearl is slightly more bulbous and more brown tinged, and the case shape is a little different (not sure for better or worse). Both are good quality without bezel play and all the little things that you sometimes see. I can’t tell a difference if I’m being honest. If I had to pick one, I would choose Q66.Hello everyone, I bought my 126610LN from VSF in December 2021 (the one with the famous 2R9 serial, if I'm not mistaken pre raid). I would like to know if to date there have been substantial improvements and if it is worth changing it.
The title of this thread...what factory is this mate?
There was a period of time VSF was delivering 802B cased submariners to dealers because they ran out of cases.Does that mean my 116610 is not VSF, but a mix of VSF and V7F?
The TD sold me the Rep as a VSF 116610LN.
omfg lol I just read Submariners thread, I had to double take to make sure you wasn't trolling. wow lol. thanks.The title of this thread...

you got that right. just ordered from Eric at geektime, hopefully its the same build as yours. colour doens't look like yellow cheese as others call it lolNo, this is right out of the box! Arrived yr.day! Looks great.
It depends on the light! It’s a tad more rose gold then I originally wanted but the dial is amazing. Crystal is good, cyclops is so so! Overall a great piece for the price.you got that right. just ordered from Eric at geektime, hopefully its the same build as yours. colour doens't look like yellow cheese as others call it lol
And what is your opinion of these 116610LN with 802B? I think the rehaut is better than in the VSF case itself.There was a period of time VSF was delivering 802B cased submariners to dealers because they ran out of cases.
It is not your TDs fault, since they get whatever VSF hands them.
Quite frankly I don't mind the 802B case. V6F and VSF are so similar already.... and the case is practically the same in terms of finish. What matters for looks is crystal, dial, and bezel, which look to be VSF.And what is your opinion of these 116610LN with 802B? I think the rehaut is better than in the VSF case itself.
Mirotime did a comparison between S19/S29 serial batch and 802B serial batch: https://imgur.com/a/OtKVKNY
In theory, there are only two differences:
What do you think? Here are pictures of my VSF 116610LN with 802B serial:
- The 802B uses V6F inner ring
- The 802B uses V6F sub caseback: quality of the font on caseback is slightly rougher than VSF
(These are QC pics already approved of a watch I already have in my possession)
Amazing, and bracelet looks nice.
