Have you tried to buy rep with already installed deep or gen crystal? Like TD changes it before sending to you?It is gen. I'm just pointing out that, like the cyclops reflection colour under certain lighting, the floating m exists on gen dials, too. It's often called out as a flaw/tell on reps.
This particular watch is here on the FB ROLEX Buy/Sell/Trade group. There are many others.

Whay is that exactly? "the floating m"It is gen. I'm just pointing out that, like the cyclops reflection colour under certain lighting, the floating m exists on gen dials, too. It's often called out as a flaw/tell on reps.

Thanks. A comparission photograph please.
Uffff, difficult to compare if I don't have a photograph. Is it only a problem with the VSF or of other models?
My clean starbucks is fine.

Love the subs. Just got a 43mm VSF sea dweller. I've got 8half inch wrist so unfortunately for me the sub looks a bit small. SD good compromise
Easily my favorite piece...such a wonderful looking watch
I agree, with a larger wrist the 43mm SD is the way to go. Love my VSF SD43!!Love the subs. Just got a 43mm VSF sea dweller. I've got 8half inch wrist so unfortunately for me the sub looks a bit small. SD good compromise
Check out the first picture in the post three posts above this one. The position on the 'm' on the VSF dial. It also exists on Clean dials.
The genuine Sub in my post above it also has the floating m. Some have it and some for not.
It looks ok for me in that picture.
The last photo.of the last post have more floating m for me.
Easy, right is the good oneThanks for the share. That looks like the highest-sitting crystal I've seen on a VSF 12X Sub.
I love the way YouTubers almost always point out the things on reps that are slightly off and never acknowledge that they're often the same on gens. The sound of the bezel click can change over time due to build up of dirt, etc. The Rehaut letters and dial markers almost never align perfectly on gens, and this one is no exception -- the left hand side is off. And, on this particular gen, the 6 o'clock marker is not perfectly aligned with the Coronet on the dial at the same position. The sharp(er) edges on the case and bracelet, however, is something I'm yet to see/feel perfected on a rep.
This is a different reference/model to the one in the video, but good luck telling which is which on someone's wrist from a normal distance.

I got mine last week. Much better than expected, easily in my top 3 best reps of all time. The finish is on another level, QC perfect and what is most important for me - it feels gen.

Just received my my first rep, I'm so impressed. Slight SEL gap but nothing to write home about. Otherwise just beautiful. Fantastic alignment all round

116610 is generally considered the most accurate Sub rep, period. But get the one you like.
With regards to consistency... well it's a rep, just QC carefully and you'll be fine.

So can you help me with floating m? I have no idea what it is and how to understand it. In 116610 I think it was not available in the last batch but in 126610 it can still be available.

Floating m, in my eyes, is a meme. If you don't know what it is then don't bother. Even gens have this "floating m".
