V2 serial begins with Q6x and clasp code 3VV, 2Rx are V1 VSF, yours is most likely a V1 (and still remains an incredible rep)

I believe the change in lume pip colour is a very subtle shift towards a less cool white, I’m staring at my V1 and can definitely see how it can be interpreted as ‘jade green’

Going slightly off topic here, I noticed the BP/GMF subs lack the floating m - would a dial swap be possible between VR and VS3235 without mods?

For those who own both, how does the lume and dial print quality compare?

Interesting... from these QCs can't really see what minor/major changes have been made to 126610LV but curios to see if someone has a v1 (pre raid or post)

Thanks everyone who contributed to this tread. Placed an order for a VSF LV. Debating whether I should also grab a Hulk, LN or 114060. Already have a no date so with the LV it would be a great 1-2 combo. What else would you add as a 3rd? Leaning towards a hulk?

I have a Hulk and Sub-date. For me the Hulk is sportier (bc of the green dial & bezel). The Sub-date can be worn with anything, even a suit or tux.

Hulk would complete the trifecta of not green, kinda green and really green!

Would you consider a YM instead for something different?

Good point 😀
Actually, yes thought about the grey YM after posting this. Reading up on it now.

Agree with the date wheel. But I think it seems like the numbers are printed in slightly different heights^^.
15 seems fine and 5 also. So do not know what to do 😂 have a bulk order so can ask them to look at it maybe ^^

CF recently released their 126622 YM’s and, rehaut alignment issues aside, absolutely nailed the rhodium dial - great alternative to a sub!

Brushing is not the same because I refinished the gen sub myself.. i wore it from new daily for 2 years and marked it up. You are seeing it there after I’d brushed it on the Brushmaster3000 Delux..

Are those green Scotch Brite pads? How would you go about the brushed top parts of the lugs?

You did a bang up job with the refinish sir!
