Nice video of the vsf 126610 and gen.

Just received my VSF Starbucks 126610lv from Steve (theonewatches) earlier today.

Quick review:

Con - SEL is a little larger than I would have liked but that is about the only bad thing I have to say.
Pro - Finishing is excellent, great weight to the watch, smooth winding, great feel overall.

The one thing I was concerned about due to my issue with loud (gritty) and/or loose rotors was that this VSF Starbucks was going to be one of those based on some reviews on the VS3235 movement. That said, having got the watch, the rotor sounds just like my gen Datejust 41 that also utilises the 3235 movement. It is pretty silent and the rotor spin feels really "refined" and smooth. - almost silent even in a quiet room.

Happy with this purchase and thanks to Steve for the quick and seamless process. Took about 10 days from the time I ordered to receiving the watch.

For the overly colour sensitive folks like myself, hopefully they won’t have that pinkish toned lume on the indices! Next to impossible to source gen dials floating to franken with.

Can you share pictures of that 'new dial'?

For me, the first choice for a VSF Aqua Terra would be the white one , then the dark blue, then the green, which I had all, respectively the white and blue still have. All from VSF. The movements that VSF installs are great and well regulated, at least on my watches from VSF. Minimal clock error and +6-8sec/day. The feel of the bracelet could be a bit better and more valuable. Visually there is nothing to complain about the bracelet
About the light blue clock I have read onyl on RWI and that has not convinced me.

Definitely miss seeing you around BOD! Hopefully you can talk sense into this guy where others have failed.

Life can change circumstances for the bad for any of us. If there is a personal issue going on it would be best just to reach out and work out whatever the issues are. Honestly @TA8088 if you have the watches as they were described and don't have the money to refund, nor the money to ship ,I'm sure a bunch of us would be willing to chip in to provide you with shipping labels to get them out to their rightful owners, or at least a neutral party to assist shipping them on.

I'm in awe for your quality photos and precisely formulated detailed descriptions. You're truly a TD.
With all this craftsmanship involved your people can be first to produce some gorgeous astounding product lines for the new brands.

I would love to do that, do you know if the clasp is available on its own somewhere?

Sorry for all the quotes, not sure how to delete.. Was trying to just ask about the rubber b on the 124060. Eish got to learn my way around this stuff better

When you press insert quotes you'll see a pop-up where you can remove individual quotes. I make the same mistake myself sometimes no worries!

Nice Look

@gibbo1988 would you mind posting a couple pics on wrist?

 

[gibbo1988]

I bought the ARF bracelet from Jtime, you can’t buy the clasp by its self.

It is a better clasp than came as standard

I’ve had this next to a friends Gen and it’s literally indistinguishable from Gen to the naked eye. The biggest tell is the colour of the steel in real life, the genuine has a slight yellow/gold hue in comparison.

Today I purchased this part from a local dealer. I think it's great, except for the bracelet, it looks soft quality. what do you think?

[Tompa]

How mutch did you pay for it? And why posting in vsf thread ? As long as you are happy bro. Thats the most important thing

 

[YoDoc86]

I apologize, I thought the thread was about submariner replicas in general. Let them move it where they belong if necessary, sorry. the watch, I imagine it is not a good replica, I only paid €70 for it, but since I am new to this and I am considering buying a good replica, probably from Clean or VSF or ZF, it would help me a lot to know what you see in the photos that clearly make it look like a crude cheap copy if you think so thank you.

Congrats on getting into the rep game.
Based on the factories you mentioned, it sounds as though you will end up with a nice rep soon.

But to answer your question, that date wheel and cyclops are a complete shambles! Im not an expert at spotting reps, but I’d be able to notice that was a rep on your wrist.

Only that?
Not too much bad for 70€
I think is the photo, doesn't looks as bad in real. And the other parts??

Thanks.

Pd: probably it will finish in the hands of my son when I will buy the 1:1 clone

Not to rain on your parade but your current rep is trash. Almost anyone will be able to spot that as a replica, from the materials and finish alone, you don't have to be an expert to point it out. Take a chance with, say, VSF and you will then see for yourself what I mean.

And stick to Trusted Dealers only
