The VSF Submariners Thread

[Uhr70]

Guys, I've out of the loop for some time. My TD just told me VSF has new Sub 116610 LV and LN. As in updated? Anyone can confirm?

Thanks!

Links don't work?

Its not purely about the darkness or colour. Its about how the sunburst ray shines in the sunlight. The bow in the past was incorrect and an immediate tell that the dial was a rep.

This one might look better but hard to tell unless there are other pictures at different angles. That was the biggest flaw of the Hulk VSF dials

Thank you for answering the question I kept asking myself ... Posting pics of my gen hulk in the am for comparison. Was getting excited about the new VSF Hulk but may have to wait!

I believe they've updated the dial and case of the current 116610's yes, Hulk dials are a bit darker and the serial now begins with 'K25'

My recent accepted QC;

Is the 114060 black/black no date vsf still available to be purchased from TD's?

 

[Killerqhk]

114060 are not available for Hont, and he doesn’t know when those are available.

Looking forward to your pictures once you have it in hand and are able to take some shots in direct sunlight! Congratulations!!!

The only way to tell is pictures in direct sunlight at multiple angles. Then pay close attention to the sunburst bowing effect of the dial. If there is a bow or half moon kind of sunburst its incorrect. The gen hulk dial doesnt do that.

These are the new updated dial in bright direct sunlight.





And these are in comparison, the old s19 hulks from VSF.

^ Based off those I think the bowing has been improved. Its not as bad as it used to be that's for sure. I'm still not convinced with the shade of green in the sun. It still doesn't look right to me and its too bright especially where the light hits and the sunburst - i feel that shade is off.

When did you get that watch?

 

[Uhr70]

Thank you for posting the pictures. As soon as the sun comes up I’ll post pictures of my gen, see what you guys think. I don’t know though, it seems to be less pronounced but still there.

 

[2fast4lust]

Yeah, please do! I was standing directly UNDER the sun and facing the dial towards the direction of the sun, not trying to hide or make the VSF look any darker than it should be on a sunny day

Hi,

Just received QC pics from my TD. Does there appear to be a gap at the bottom right by the lugs, or is this normal? Should I ask for other pictures? Thank you in advance!

Here you go bud, my gen in direct sunlight.

Guys any thoughts, I think the new dial is better, yes?

One more at a distance:

 

[2fast4lust]

To be honest....... i wouldn't bat an eye... gen is indeed gen brother. but the VSF is good enough in my eyes, if something better comes along as an overall package then i might take the swap

114060 K2 serial with Gen dial and hands, not sure if it needs Gen bezel, very pleased as it is

 

[mmaggi]

The VSF Hulk and standard Subs are true beauties. Thanks for sharing pics.

Looking good, question remains. CF or VSF for the 114060
