The VSF Submariners Thread

[StreetFighter]

Thanks for the update, much appreciated!

Ok so 11xxxx subs vsf + CF bracelet | and 12xxxx Subs all vsf are the way to go atm?

Would have thought to prefer at least the cf clasp visually and in terms of haptics on the 12xxxx subs.

I think the current 116610 is fine, these will only need a bracelet upgrade (for the better midlink) if yours needs it. Some don't, it's your luck. The 126610 is good to go to. I don't buy into the catfish clasp thing for either watch. No upgrades required. Spend your cash on more watches. All my opinion of course.

Thank you, StreetFighter,

I will also be looking to "upgrade" my VSF bracelet to a CF/ARF clasp, but plan to keep the rest of the oyster bracelet as VSF based on your feedback.

I bought a vsf 126610 ln to see if I like it better than my pre raid vsf 114060.

Man, this forum really needs to disable image quoting by default when a post is quoted.

As always, you have to be lucky. Had a lot of vsf watches in hand that totally disappointed me.

You just have to find the one good one and to not be stupid enough to sell it.

I would like to know in what and why they have disappointed you

Do you guys know how many links at 12h and 6h has a genuine 126610 out of the box (sels excluded)? And in which of the many positions is set the glide lock?

And… I guess they should be the same, but do you also remember how many links has at 12/6h the vsf bracelet?

I have just resized the bracelet of a TC as per a genuine 16610 and I’d like to do the same on my vsf, bc I think I did something wrong when I received it (I have more links at 6 than 12 and the clasp is off centered).

Unfortunately I don’t have a gen 126610 to compare and all the videos I found on YT show just the side at 6h.

Anyone?

 

[Tijdwijzer]

Anyone?

Dnt know if there is a standard amount of links at 6 or 12, i dnt mind since the glasp in centered, thats what matters? ...

Fit and finish. Most of the ones I have handled felt super cheap and rattlely.

What are you trying to achieve, mate?

CF bracelet on 12xxxx is a huge upgrade. for $168, it’s worth it.

Sure it is, gens as well reps have them.

I’m trying to gen-spec resize the bracelet of my 126610 (I know, a bit anal…) On 5 digit subs R factory recommend to remove links at 6h, just wondering if the same could be applied also to ceramic subs by asking how many links gens out of the box have.

Normally 6 on each side but there is no "Gen spec", the AD sizes the bracelet and puts the extra links in the box, with a tissue and a note of thanks (maybe chocolate, too, if he REALLY likes you)

I’ve always removed links from the 12 o’clock side as you need 6 on the 6 0clock side for the clasp to be under your wrist, even with a small wrist.
others may do it differently, my wrist isn’t small but taking a link from the 6 0 clock side would pull the clasp right to the very edge of the wrist if not even making it stick out.

i always remove 1 link from the 6 on subs. 12 links can be adjusted from glidelock.

I’ve never needed more than 1 link taken out and removing it from the 6 side simply pulls the clasp too far to the corner of the wrist so it sticks out. Taking 1 link from the 12 and having the glide lock almost at its shortest point, not it’s longest means the clasp is perfectly Central under my wrist.

The rehaut is nowhere near gen...Noob had the best rehaut, they were double lined
