The VSF Submariners Thread

[ForecastMax]

Hey i’ve read through this thread as much as I can but read very little on the 6SH bracelet. Just had my VSF 116610LN S29 with 6SH arrive. Sorry if it already been posted and i’ve missed it but i’m unsure on the following after reading some posts on here:

Is it a 904L? Read someone say it’s not.

Is the 6SH different to 7GJ

Thanks in advance

Bracelet is, clasp (7GJ nor 6SH) are. Only things reported 316 on VS is crown & clasp.

the smurf has nothing to do with it. I myself took a smurf nos. vsf does not produce bluesy

I see. From your first reply you made it sound like they made it before just not in stock currently.

I guess they need to release a version, like they did with the two tone LNs. But given the raids probably not.

Maybe I should just go for the LB cleans.

the two-tone clean is quite good, especially the plating

I received a 126610Ln today. everything okay apart from the dirty rehaut at 6 o'clock. in fact, the whole clock is very dirty. I find that the quality of the bracelet is lower than the pre raid ones, I don't know, maybe it's just a feeling.

I received both 126610LN and 116610LV last week. I don’t know about the quality of pre-raid bracelets but the 116 bracelet feels better than the 126.

I already took a 36 hour bath in baby oil .. it has improved a lot. nice feeling, I don't notice any difference with that of the 116610.

For those receiving orders over the past month or so, what are your opinion of the spring bars?

I believe I previously read that they aren’t the highest quality, although mine seem to be acceptable.

I removed the bracelet on my 126613ln to oil bath it and the spring bars were very thin and not good quality in my opinion. Altough, I haven't removed bracelet off my other subs from vsf so can't compare. But I am thinking of sourcing higher quality or genuine spring bars

Good to know, thank you, I should have specified that I have a VSF126610LN with 2R9 serial and 1LQ clasp bracelet.

Any other feedback on the VSF spring-bars?

I would change them out. You can get a set of Everest bars for like $10.

Please let us know if you locate 21mm spring bars. I've not been able to find any.

These will work? Reference sea dweller

 

[Björn_Ironside]

what's wrong with the bars? those of my 126610, just arrived, are the same as those of all my vsf subs .. nothing bad

Short answer: yes. I put a gen Rubber B on my Deep Blue. There was a fucking huge gap between the strap and the case using the original springbars (Noob). The Everest bars solved the problem.

I bought a set, will report back as to if it fixes my slightly off top left hub to SEL fitment.
