The Submariner NoDate is an amazing timepiece….
For me the VSF is the best OOTB
My first 114060 was a ZZF V3
Than I ordered a CF and was hunting an VSF 114060;)
The ZZF was very Good….the CF was very very Good….and than my VSF arrived.
BOOOMM
This one is crazy good
Take it if you can and enjoy it
Do you know if VSF makes a 124060 yet? I know CF makes it. What are your thoughts about the CF 124060 ?

Bracelet and Clasp from ARF is a little bit better for me than VSF
But after some Ultrasonic and Babyoil bath they all works very fine.
VSF didn’t make the 124060
CF and King is a good choice to go with the 124060

You are welcome;)
I have got my VSF NoDate from the m2m…sometimes there are some offers.
It is an wonderful watch…VSF made a very good job.
Winding is very smooth,good power reserve and timekeeping.
Strong Lume,everything is well aligned and crisp bezel action….
enjoy:)

Does the Latest VSF 40mm already has good rehaut alignment?
Noticed that the L E before 1 has poor rehaut-minute markers alignment?
I have vsf 41mm and rehaut-minute markers alignment is good.
Should I go this unit or request another? Overall is unit good? Thank you

I just got a QC of a VSF 116610LN and I have a special question to you guys
- the lug on the right side has a very big gap to the SEL it is it just the angle?

This should be a VSF ??

Serial was on vsf Date Sub:
40mm S19, 29, latest S39
41mm 126610 was 2R7, 8.. Latest 2R9 as I know


Just curios I am not a pro. On my S19 116610 and 2R9 126610 pre raid well aligned not as seen here. But I guess you will not notice that on wrist badly as on these macro shots

K28 was nodate serial. See here:


Some Post above it was mentioned that vsf or who assembles vsf parts are now maybe mixing Things Up. Maybe a sign of Problems with supply because of chinese zero covid lockdowns etc. Who knows.
I think its Not a Problem to have a Rep 116610 with a 114060 serial 🙂

To the question which best batch is - I personally think when they have to mix up parts its not the best sign of stable qualiti (in Matter of Reps of course)

It’ll have 114060 between the lugs as well.

Just be careful to look at the serial number and clasp number to avoid the case mistakes from this batch. Besides that, it is still a VSF, same quality IMO.

If the rules didn’t change you’re not allowed to post just all your QC pics and ask everyone for their opinion. You may post it, if you have a special question about the piece.
As you maybe saw I also posted a QC pic. But it was because I saw a huge gap at the SEL to the lug and asked the guys here… but not just for general judgement.
