VSF 116610 - v- Rolex 116610 Picture shoot out!

Mine has held up well.

Glide lock has actually improved with age, super smooth now.

My quickset date has never been quite right, sometimes works flawless other times snaps over in between dates but if you turn the crown just a little more it flops over into place. No big deal.

Thanks for all the info on reliability info, I’m excited to get mine. Been waiting 5 days now. Hopefully it arrives soon. Its the S29 serial number. I will probably be ordering a couple of them as well!

I’m getting a second one, just to have, in case they stop making them years from now.

The rep industry has been around for decades, and it’s unlikely to collapse and vanish any time soon. And just in the couple of years I’ve been into reps, they’ve improved dramatically. There’s no reason to think that the pinnacle of rep Sub has been reached. Give it another 18 months, and an even better version will hit the market.

I don’t really think there’s any need to start panic buying just yet.

So no more cyclops distortion on newer batch ?
and DW lower position after 20 is also fixed ?

I’d argue the 126 has poor endlinks with shallow soft centre edges looks bad. The 116 has better endlinks but not quite defined/sharp enough. Other than that they are good enough to wear during an AD visit. :nono:

Agreed. The center step is almost non existent. It’s good enough tho. All around the 12 is more than good enough.

The clone is slightly out of focus on most of the shots.
As a professional photographer that also shoots macro, even a fraction of a distance can soften the object. Take, for example, the nice hard edge of the original vs the soft edge of the clone in the shot where they are side by side. This is due to being a touch out of focus on the clone. Also in the front shot, notice the blurry lettering and numbers. This is not poor craftsmanship, but an error in focus.
Another example is where the R is circled in both the real and clone. If you notice, the authentic Rolex is in focus, whereas the clone is not only out of focus but also the angle of the watch is tilted much more forward, and closer to the camera (you can tell this by the larger size of the clone).

I'm pretty sure that nobody further than a foot away could tell the difference between the two, especially if one did not have a real one to compare to.

Can anyone confirm if there’s a noticeable difference between the lume on Gen hands and the VSF Dial? Thinking of swapping the hands with Gen but want to make sure the lume matches in daylight and night

I think the lume material matches pretty well. But I’d like to know this as well from any owners who’ve done gen hand swap on the vsf sub

VSF is no longer available

wow maybe that's what sparked the recent raids, the accuracy or someone got duped in bulk with these VSF subs LOL

will it go down into rep watch history ala TC V6/V7 subs?

Yeah, screw pictures. I have both of these watches so I'm talking about in hand.

Yea I’ve been looking around but most swaps I’ve seen include a Gen Dial

Simply becoz the lume of gen hands and VSF dial markers doesn't match

That’s exactly what I asked in my original post. If anyone had done a swap of Gen hands on VSF dial and what was the result ?
