Thanks for the reply. No not attempted anything. I would like it sorting properly really. I agree it does look mangled compared to the opposite side. I must admit a drill had crossed my mind if I had one but it would need to be tiny and precise. I thought I could end up in a world of pain if I went down that route though. Sead’s watchsmith has got back to me so I’ll send it to him to hopefully work his magic.

$200 for a CF bracelet, better all around.

CF and VSF both use ARF clasp and bracelet. The code should be 1LD for the 126610 which is on my CF 124060

I think you’ll find it’s CF that use the ARF bracelet, not VSF. If they have started doing so very recently I stand corrected, but their bracelet and clasp is completely different to the ARF.

VSF have VS3130 movements for Sub No Date 114060 and VS3135 for Sub Date 116610.
All the clone Movements are not so reliable as Swiss Eta movements that could be used some years ago in Reps with Asia ETA.
Is there any possibility to change the VS Movements with real Swiss Eta movements? Do they fit?

What possibility is there to change the movement to a very relaiable one that fits in the case.
A gen RLX movement is to expensive to mod.

Any thoughts from the members who are in the world of reps?

Thank you for your help.

The VS clone movements are good, not like the SH3135 clones.. the VS3235 is superb I believe. Just get them serviced if it faulters and it'll last.

An ETA 2836/2 is not going to fit. An ETA 2824 may fit. No need though imo because the VS movements perform well and they look amazing.

The VS movements are true clones. The only drawback is their slipping winding pinions. Replace them with gen/aftermarket parts then they will last for years.

No go for the VSF 1116613s. The plated midlinks are leaking on the sides and the gold color is wayyyy too outdated and orangey.

If you're going for the 116613LN go for clean(They should be using VS31355 now)

if you're looking at 126613LN then you can go for VSF as no one else in the top tier factory makes them.

Great thanks for the Info... how are the gold tones of the VSF 126613ln ? The thing that is holding me off is that it's an instant tell with the gold colour.. I love the gold tones but most difficult to replicate this well.. would like to hear your thoughts, clean tones better than VSF ?

Personally I will never go for gold plated reps. Honestly, what can you expect for the plating quality of a couple hundred dollars rep
