The VSF Submariners Thread

The SELs on yours are perfect! It seems to be hit or miss with VSF.

Thank you, yes they are very tight. My only nitpick would be that the upper SEL slightly overarches the case as seen below.

Spring bars are fine. I'd be more concerned about the lug holes being drilled correctly as I've had issues with spring bar alignment on a VSF 41mm DJ in the past. Just pay close attention to how the bars are seated in the caseback QC pics.

Click spring on my 2R 126610 is perfectly acceptable for me, although I haven't had a chance to compare it side-by-side with gen. The click spring on my K25 114060 on the other hand leaves a lot to be desired to the point where I plan on upgrading. It is stupid easy to rotate which results in the bezel randomly rotating with very minor contact.

I have the same problem with my VSF 114060. Does a new set of click spring will solve the problem? Have you tried it out yet? Cheers

Wow, yet another thing I to pay attention to during QC!

Will you try and fix it or can you live with it?

I don't see the issue with SEL gap, provided it's not crazy huge. A quick perusal of the of the official Rolex forum shows the majority of gens also have a gap. What's more important is the curvature, it must follow the lug, if it protrudes like r4twatch's above then that is an issue.

TD was so nice to help me here, I think he did not necessarily have to. Will hopefully be resolved by a new bracelet, it is currently in transit.

Not easy to say if this warrants a RL though. It is not so easy to see in QC and from strolling the forums some other watches definitely have the same. For me it is obvious on the wrist at least, depending on the light.

Yeah it's a bit of a crapshoot when it comes to QC checks... I think many TD's would call (or at least think) you fussy for rejecting it lol.
