The VSF Submariners Thread

[lovegensandreps]

I just gotta say that the build quality of the 126610 is amazing, truly superb. I also got a 116610 from clean and they are pretty similar although the crystal on the VSF is in my eyes noticably better especially on the cyclops.

To be fair though the clean bracelet is nicer, the VSF one was a bit squeaky at first but after some baby oil is just as good.

All in all amazing watch, and as a bonus I got the perfectly aligned crown

Can the rotor be silenced with some watch oil? Not that it’s loud but would be nice it was even quieter

I am right there with you.I have an Everest rubber strap on mine and it's night and day better IMO. I know it's not for everyone. Gets rid of any SELS misaligments too!

Hi guys, i’ve a question for you: i’d like to ask you if the gen 116710 crystal mounts on submariner 116610LN. Thank you!

Yes, both the 6 digit Sub and GMT crystals are interchangeable. The only difference is the edge bevel.

If someone wanna let go their VSF 114060 preraid (A serial) let me know

Bezel edge? Because i’d like to mount the gen bezel and insert on a vsf 116610 with the gen 116710 crystal.

Bevel - the angled outer edge of the crystal.

What is the difference between the "preraid" and the current version?

My 4 day old VSF from Andiot, best TD here!

Not a visual difference beside the rehaut. But i like to have different serialnumbers and preraid bracelets is very good. But the recent K2 is also good quality now.

I've ordered a VS 114060 today. I haven't been wearing my VS 126610LV often as it's a little busy for my liking.

Does anyone know, if the bracelet screws on VSF subs are usually secured with loctite? Therefore, does it make sense to slightly heat the screw before resizing the bracelet? Does it make sense to apply loctite when resizing the bracelet?

Personally never had to do this with the resizing of a rep bracelet: beit VSF or CF.

Is it just me or is the font of the date wheel on the latest VSFs (126610 LN) too thin? I have both, a VSF and a gen. Now that I’ve compared them, I can’t unsee it…

Which serial? Can you post a picture?

Q66
Yeah, I’ll post some pics later. It’s really weird because I’ve seen some VSF pictures where you couldn’t really see a difference compared to gen.
