VSF 126610 Submariner with VS3235 Latest Movement 72 Hours Power Reserve

[subhunter101]

Fwiw, here’s mine, also with clasp code 1LQ. I wouldn’t say the SELs are sitting above the lugs, but the height along the curved part isn’t uniform. I’m a noob when it comes to subs so I don’t know all the minute details but thought I’d share for comparison.

That’s awful, why would they release them with those end links

Really sad to see they messed this up. I wonder if its the case or SEL thats gone wrong though.

I also wonder if the fix is to sand down the bottom lip of the SEL where it meets the case which would alow it to rotate downwards. That way you’re not messing around with the visible area.

Nothing wrong with these springbars - straight, solid and locked in tight.

To get the bracelet side of the SEL lower through SEL rotation would require the lower lip to rise a little. This will also raise the top of the SEL where it meets the case. Usually there is a room to do this under the bezel but often this rotation will also pull the top of the SEL away from the case.

I've been able to accomplish this on a hollow end link but only because you can then bend the top of the SEL back toward the case, essentially making it less tall but slightly longer. As Triplock mentioned, filing or sanding the top of the SEL is really the best solution, though it is quite challenging not to mention labor intensive. It's also hard to regain uniform brushing that results in a nice reflection line across the SEL.

Indeed bro, the pre-raid bracelet fit was pretty nearly perfect. My guess is it's a bracelet batch issue.

thats a bad SEL. ask for more pictures or reject it.

Anyone else noticed the two different stickers styles on the SEL's on these recent QC's? Two different suppliers, 2 different qualities?

 

[newest dude on the forum]

FWIW, the SELs on the one I received last week are perfect.

 

[Carrick1]

newest dude on the forum guess it’s luck of the draw. Seen someone else get their QC ‘s from same TD and it’s perfect.

Same, I received two, a 126LN and a 126LV and both are very good.

Interestingly, here’s how it looks on my wrist - it seems to sit a hair lower against the lugs.

*edit* --> just to clarify, I'm not nitpicking at all here, just providing some photos for folks to compare against since it seemed like people were wondering. Couldn't be happier with this rep!

Interestingly, here’s how it looks on my wrist - it seems to sit a hair lower against the lugs, which seems fine?

I seriously don't mean to be rude but you're worrying over absolutely nothing here.

It AIN'T a Rolex PLUS it's still better than 98% of any watch out there.

Oh, I'm not worried at all - just sharing for folks who were doing comparisons. I'm quite happy with mine!

I would like to buy any broken, non-working VS3235 movement for a special project.

Me too mate, I think the best way to get one is to get a used sub and use it as a donor

 

[Carrick1]

Question do you think this is the same watch and Sel ?

 

[Delifisek53]

Hi everyone,

This is my VSF 126610LV as well. The bezel finally popped off ( dont know why ) and all the springs and stuff are missing for me now.

I asked my TD about the parts but still can’t get an answer.

Someone had the same problem and found the solution will be great for me.

Thnx.

Saw a few in ali. Can try searching under Bezel Inner Case Click Spring Steel Ball. However I do not know if it fits 126610.

Has anybody had issues with fading bezel on the 126610? Mine seems to have dulled a bit, it doesn’t have a bright luster like it should
