It looks fine. This whole fat hand thing, they look fat or thin in different lighting. Upon looking at both of mine with a loupe, the Y inside the hour hand is the same width as the border around it.
I’ve been collecting the 116610 since the Noob v7 days. Goodness, how far we have gone. I am just so happy with mine.

Thanks for this review, great info and beautiful 116610 pictures from you all.
I’m not sure if I miss this, but does anyone mention something about the vsf case shape, basically lugs size and lug angle curvature compared to Gen?

yes i noticed, but for some reason my post came below yours, now is more clear how close to Gen this case is, considering cg are very well shaped too. This is a huge improvement from those noob and arf cases.

gen tube is not necessary imo. I fitted just the crown and fitted well with vsf tube. I think he got it as a set so might as well install it together
Is franken-ing really necessary for VSF you guys think? If I could swap out the rehaut somehow, I think it might (and I really mean "might") be worthwhile, but other than the hands (which btw are fricken ridiculously expensive) I just don't see much added value for swapping other parts out to gen. DW may be too I guess... but VSF looks pretty close.

I am as interested as you are!
My 2 cents (based on the 3 Gen parts I have lol):
Xtal- First impression is perhaps the xtal is slightly better but definitely not worth the 300 odd quid (which doubles the cost of the watch!!!) in my very inexperienced opinion.
Hands- TBH, it’s super tough for me to tell any difference with the hands unless I am splitting hairs. Maybe the gens are slightly - but ever so slightly - more 3D. Again not worth doubling the cost for perhaps a 1% improvement!
DW - For me, the DW is probably something (only a if you were looking for differences, again) that some numbers, more than others are every so slightly different.
Going to take the Gen DW, Hands and Xtal off my ZZF and swap to the VSF only cos I have the parts. Will try take some before and after pics on the VSF, although caveat that I don’t have a macro lens. Will try do it next week if I get some time.

I have the parts ready but will most likely not change the tube if the case is not already counterbored, so nice to hear the crown fits the vsf tube well !
Tube fits without drilling. Fits plug&play. Gen crystal with gen crystal gasket, gen tube and crown, gen case gasket and my watch is waterproof to 10atm. This is why I changed the tube.
No, not that bad at the time. The sa3135 was a time bomb and parts were scarce. The insert was so dark that we had to resort to sharpie mods
Still loving my new VSF
