Just picked up a 116610LN with a K25 serial # and it has an updated crystal in terms of no edge distortion on the date window. It also has the updated dial without the "floating m" flaw...but I had to RL 2 pieces before I got an updated dial. The date wheel sits a little low on days 1-14, but the watch is near perfect otherwise....truly incredible piece.

Good deal, thanks for the confirmation sir

Can you share pictures of that 'new dial'?

Floating m fixed!

Floating m fixed!

It hasn't really been fixed,... It's now a "sunken m."

 

[Mark1937]

Non è stato veramente riparato,... Ora è una "m affondata".

HHaHahaha

In my opinion: VSF. Clean is also a good option. But wouldn't cheap out.
Clean uses a 3135 that is decorated as a 3235, while VSF uses a cloned 3235.

So you think Clean is better?
The Clean is cheaper than the VSF!
What is the biggest differences between the two watch?

 

[Replicated]

VSF got a 3235 movement that accepts gen parts.
Clean got a 3235 movement that is an 3135 movement that is made to look like a 3235 movement.

I still

I still want to advice you to go for a VSF.

Understood! Thank you!

Next week my new VSF 126610LN will be arrived!
If I want to make it even more similar to the original, what do you recommend, what should be replaced the first ?

none of the Rep Parts will ever be like gen...that being said this stock is great. If I do a franken I change all the parts

I mean Franken!
I would like to replace some parts with original ones!
What is very strikingly different?

IMHO, Crystal Gen, DW Gen and Hands.. obviously Bezel (but Bezel costs..)

Understood!
What about the Dial?

 

[Hec]

The dial on the watch you are going to have is not as "key" as if we were talking about a HULK. Everything is important, but maybe because of the importance - price ratio I'll stick with the ones I said, if a great price comes up I'd go for the dial as well.

Ok!
Thank you for your help!

I have a VSF 126610LN and been wearing it off and on for a few months. When I went to take it off today, the case back was missing. For the life of me I don't know how this could of happened. Can someone point me in the right direction to get a replacement that will fit the VSF 126610?

Floating m fixe

Is the minute hand shorter in this K25 or is it an optical illusion? My untrained eye cant tell. Anyone

Would reach out to a few TDs and I'm sure they could source one for you. They no doubt have a pile of damaged / QC rejected watches to yank parts from.
