Anyone heard or seen anything on the 2023 bezel color change to the LV being updated?

 

[Replicated]

No, still the Mk1!
You could go gen. on that one. But, I think that is a really expensive bezel.

Gigantic steps on various updates....just replaced the stock insert on my VSF 126610 LN with a ZF insert. Fantastic upgrade.

Hello, the insert from my vsf 126610 is brocken. Where I can buy a new one?
Where I can get a ZF insert?
Thx

You were already answered in the German section. Ask TDs. Simple as that.

NWD. Finally pulled the trigger. My first rep. Love the color on that one. Was torn between 124060 and this. Well, I was inclined to buy a 124060 but the moment I saw LV in person, my heart was taken.

Unfortunately not. I’ve been asking here and various TDs and the MK2 bezel is not made, yet. We need to contact the factories directly

Is it possible to replace the VS3235 in my VSF 126610 with a 2824 or 2836?

No but a VR should be a direct replacement.

This, get a VR3235 for a replacement.
Pretty good movement.
Keep the VSF movement taps, use VR3235 movement screws and use the VR movement stem.

Looking for somewhere to purchase VSF 124060 dial and hands. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

AFAIK VSF, Clean, ZF do not supply parts separately. Tried many times before but with no luck.

 

[Watchcollector_1217]

Pretty frustrating. I wish they could all join forces and just make the perfect sub already. I guess that would take the fun out of the hunt though.

@Replicated @xZeroCoolx thank you for the insight and recommendations.

 

[DarkPlanet]

Beautiful!

Hi guys, a question for those who are more experienced than me.

1) Do you know if the gen tube and crown is compatible with the CF 116610 winding stem and case?

2) I would like to install the bezel and gen insert, but my watchmaker told me that there could be assembly incompatibility problems, so in this case could I have the gen insert mounted on a rep bezel?

Thanks so much!

Recommend the Clean Factory Oysterflex. Had the CF Oysterflex on VSF 114060, now it’s on gen OF. CF has high quality Oysterflex straps and is fairly close to gen. CF is just a little more stiff, imo which a good thing since it makes it feel solid

This looks great! Has this done with a 21mm Oysterflex with 21mm GM-F 904L endlinks on a 12-series sub like the VSF 124060?

I’m currently in the process of figuring out which Clean Factory Oysterflex model would be correct in 21mm and fit the 124060 properly.

From my understanding, GM-F most likely makes a 21mm endlinks for Oystersteap.

Is this just a matter of sourcing the CF Yachtmaster (42nm 226659) 21mm strap and pairing it with GM-F endlinks and the included VSF 124060 clasp?

Apologies for the longer first post, just combining all my research together and hope the community might know better to confirm my understanding.
