anybody have a set of VSF 116610 hands to sell? or atleast a source on where to get a decent replacement?

second hand appears to have either a piece of dust or a scratch. Hoping for just dust but if I know my luck...

I purchased vsf 114060.
There are places where the roulette stamp is misaligned. The letters R and O just to the right of the 12 o'clock position are greatly misaligned.
Other positions are engraved at approximately the exact locations.

I've seen many images of the same model on the forums here, and some are stamped correctly throughout.

vsf 114060 has been said to be the best rep, but did I lose the lottery?


I'm writing in English using Google Translate, so I'm sorry if there are any mistakes in words.

So..... you should probably do your reading on gen Rolex... this is correct...

on the left side of the crown (so time 6 - 12), the rehaut R aligns with the markers.... on the time 1-5 the rehaut aligns with X.... VSF has got this right...

So basically :

left side of the watch - the R of "R O L E X" rehaut should align with the marker...

The right side of the dial - the "X" of the "R O L EX" rehaut should align with the marker....

thank you. For example, the stamp on this 114060 does not seem to be misaligned, but is this incorrect?

Need some help from the community. Received the QC from my TD and am unsure about the platinum fill of this 114060. It seems to faded to me.

This is gen, but the stamps are neatly aligned.

Camera Parallax... again. You cannot determine this kind of alignment from an image. I already see 3 or 4 things misaligned here. Look on the right side and the Rs are misaligned.

If you doubt me please just go to your grey market of choice and handle a submariner. What I am speaking is correct. It is difficult to do this with just images on the internet.

Also. You are buying a replica. Please stop with this perfection. You paid $500 for a watch. You want your watch to be the same as a $10,000 watch, pay the $10000 price tag, and even then, you will find that Rolex is misaligned.
