Vsf use modified date seating plate so no gen date disc will fit
You have to use 3135 date disc

Don’t understand.

On my Hulk VSF which DW can I put ? Gen DW reference please.

And on the VSF 126610 is it the same or another DW ?
Asked for 3235DW and someone told me not compatible.

Date disc reference #16200

On Vsf 126610 you can’t use 3235 date disc as they didn’t use gen size date seating plate
You can use same date as for you hulk

Mate is pretty clear, don't get what you dont understand. The Vs3135 takes a gen 3135 dw, i have one on my sub. You don't need a reference part to source one lol. The vs3235 has a modify plate so a gen 3235 dw wont work that's why you need a 3135 dw.

I know youko doesnt work for everyone but heres a video of someone comparing the vs3235 to a gem 3235.

Can’t open the link, but what’s the conclusion of this comparison? Is the vs3235 good enough to last for along time? My Noob 2436 is running for 5 years now with 24/7 use. It’s gonna be serviced next week.

I think you need to download youku app and you have to watch some ads before it plays the video. I tried (and did) watch the entire video but it's in Chinese. From what I can see, it looks to be very well replicated but I had no idea what the guy was saying lol

Just got my VSF LV in. Wow. This thing is GOOD. Will throw some pics up tomorrow. Overall fit and finish is so close my gen hulk. Like 90-95% of the way there. 126610LV (especially at grey prices) is NWBIG to me.

The youku app works great. I’m sure there’s a TON of valuable info in that video. I wish there was some way to transcribe it. Any Chinese members up to the task?

I'm going to take a WAG and say we probably have a couple of TDs that could take a shot at it, lol

Received my vsf 126610 LV clasp code 1LQ, also received the vsf 116610 LN. Just want to share some initial impressions.
Both watches are amazing OOTB. The mercedes hands on the 126610 looks slightly better than the 116610. Bezel action on both are good and feels like gen, The bracelet on the 126610 is slightly wider but also feels a bit cheaper/lighter than the 116610. Maybe needs an ultrasonic cleaning but the 116610 bracelet comes OOTB feeling gen like.
AR crystal on the 116610 feels more gen like as the black hole effect is more prominent. The crystal on the 122610 is also not bad but doesn’t reflect as well as the 116610...maybe the gen is like that as well? Not sure if rolex did any updates to the gen crystal on the 126610s.
Overall I like the proportions of the 126610 better, it wears and feels on the wrist just a bit better than the 116610 and doesn’t feel bigger to me due to the more narrow lugs.

Oh yeah, the glide-lock on the 116610 also seems much more smooth and clicks much more firmly than the 126610 for some reason. Not sure if it’s just my luck. Once again my 126610 has the 1LQ clasp code.

Nobody knows how long it will run for... the same as nobody can exactly tell how long 2836 can run for. I know people with 2836s that crapped out in a couple of weeks after reviewing the watch but those movements are very easy to repair.
There are so many factors to take into consideration like how dirty or how dry is the movement.
so far there aren’t too many complaints about vs3235 except for the stem but it’s an easy fix.
service will definitely help but only when it’s done by someone who knows what he’s doing.
I hate to say it, but not too many watchsmiths on RWI or repgeek know what they are doing.

Great review thanks. FYI, I have softened the 126610 bracelet with a Bergeon buff stick and it now feels as good / better than the 116610.

I saw on Reddit that Geektime has a slew of VSF 126610 LV and LN in stock and ready to ship before CNY if anyone is interested.
