Question for all the lucky VSF owners out there... Is the RXF 116610LN (2824 version) the same as current VSF? I know it was said at the time that they were the same factory, but i am curious if the quality of RXF then is the same as VSF now?
Are they the same bezel assemblies? If so, do VSF take gen Insert? i ask because the RXF number wells on the insert look great in low light but look grey the rest of the time. is the same true for VSF?

Enjoying the 12 series sub, although feels too big at times. Well executed nonetheless.
That looks great!

RXF vs VSF besides for movement?
First, please forgive me for making yet another Rolex sub topic. I did as much research as I could but couldn't find concrete answers on this. A lot of conflicting information. I think best OOTB is the VSF. However, I could not care less about movement. In fact I prefer ETA. Is that the only...

Hello friends. I'm back with a stupid (but important to me) question))
How many bezel variations does the Gen 126610lv Starbucks (not Kermit) have? Only 2? MK1->2020-2022 and MK2-> 2022---?
In many photos (2020 and beyond) I see the green bezel is the same color as the vsf Showed this photo below
BUT I also often see photos with a more emerald shade of the bezel (which vsf and clean do not have). I am attaching a photo below
I also found this photo on the Internet. Both Gen (but it says that the bezel on the left is 2023, on the right is 2020. But I have doubts, because the bezel of 2022-2023 is more brightly green in color, and with the same color as in the photo, I constantly see photos starting in 2020)
In this photo, the bottom left bezel is colored 1in1 vsf bezel
Now I'm confused))
Or is the VSF\Clean bezel just a mix of the 2020-2023 gen bezel? (a green shade, but not too bright like 2022, but without the emerald color like 2020?
If so, it is strange that vsf\clean has not yet finalized the color of the bezel and added an emerald shade to it, because starbucks is one of the most popular models in my opinion.
P.S. This is the only thing that upset me when I received my vsf 126610lv, that the bezel does not have a beautiful emerald shade, for which I fell in love with this color.

perhaps you didn't quite understand my question in the text, which touched on two different colors of the gen bezel of the same year of manufacture (the first photo is green and the second photo is emerald) because the vsf bezel does not have an emerald color at all((

The VSF/Clean insert is pretty close. It just must be the lighting. Colors seem to be brighter on digital videos and pictures. The VSF/Clean insert doesn’t always stay “emerald” - only in certain lighting conditions and angles. This is consistent with Gen. There’s good video on YouTube, I think the guy’s name is Doug, he does a pretty good job explaining how the green reacts to different light. Some YouTubers will punch the green and saturate it to demonstrate what it can do. But in my experience with the Gen, it doesn’t stay emerald all the time. The VSF/Clean insert, imo, has a tinge of yellow that the gen doesn’t quite have to that extent. The gen is also slightly more saturated than the rep. But unless you have them side by side or you own both, you wouldn’t be able to tell.Hello friends. I'm back with a stupid (but important to me) question))

If I understand correctly, your first and second gen photos are of different lighting, different watch. That’s not an accurate depiction of color—these two gens are not photoed side by side on the same lighting like your 3rd photo.
Beyond that, there have been some slight variances in gen batches.
I was looking into the VS3135 (Dandong 3135) on a Chinese website, but does it have this type of movement?

My VSF bezel never has an emerald hue like the gen bezel(
If you compare them with this photo (the left gen watch with a 2023 bezel, the right gen watch with a 2020 bezel), then the VSF insert always looks like the gen 2023 bezel in this photo. The VSF insert never has an emerald hue, as on the right watch from the photo. VSFS are just green and change this shade depending on the light, but they will never be an emerald shade.

As far as I can tell older VSF (like 2R serial) tend to look brighter than gen mk1 (closer to mk2),
Newer VSF (Q66 and so on) tend to look darker (closer to mk1)
I might be wrong though so don't take my word for granted.

I've heard that too, so I specifically bought the Q66. No, they don't look darker and they don't have an emerald hue. They look exactly the same as the gen on the left in the photo above
