Thanks for the info, was not aware at all.
I wasn’t either until a few weeks back. I’ve always bought vsf subs. I was doing my due diligence before buying a bluesy 116613LB. I was considering cleans better two tone bracelet and came across that information. That’s really good information to have before pulling the trigger.

Hey guys, I bought a 126610LV VSF yesterday, already paid and shipped and I have the feeling that the crown at the bottom is not in the center of the six o'clock hand. Do you think this is a flaw? It’s my first rep and I’m like I made a mistake. Thank you.

Probably just the angle you’re looking at it from. I wouldn’t worry about that. You can barely see the thing anyway

Don’t stress mate, that’s under macro and impossible to tell from a photo, in the flesh you won’t even see it (even if it is there)

Even with my OCD I wouldn't sweat that. It's likely the optics of photography but if it's a flaw then it would just be that the dial marker at 6 is a hair to the left. That could be fixed but only if you have other mods planned that would involve removing the dial otherwise it's not worth the bother.

Honestly I'm surprised you even spotted that, I'm not sure I would have... if it's actually even something.

The crown between Swiss Made looks good, it's the angle of the pics as mentioned above and the pics are magnified 20X. Wouldn't be noticed on the wrist even if it's off .0002.

I would have been more concerned about the date sitting high in the window and asked for a few more pics with a different date. That is something that YOU will notice while wearing it but NOT other people as they shouldn't be that close to you lol.

VSF does make the best Subs and you are paying a fraction of the cost of a gen and don't have a long wait to own one. It's a beautiful watch and wear it in good health when it arrives.

Anybody know if VSF is making the Starbucks/Cermit with the updated bezel color (lighter green) also known as MK2 bezel. It came out in 2023, they usually rep new updates pretty quickly but it seems they haven't repped that yet.

Mine has it and I purchased it late last year.

This is absolutely amazing to hear! Can I kindly ask for more pictures? And how is it in daylight? What TD did you use?

VSF with deep crystal. had it "modded" from reddit to have all sorts of said services
have multiple gens but wanted to try the new 12 case in the subs. :/ not a big fan i prefer the maxicases
other than the preference, impressed by the quality of these reps :D
IRL, the shine/reflections of polished surfaces show a difference than gens. but for 1/10 price of gens, its impressive
