Love my 41mm VSF but it is broken.... Currently looking for a Watchsmith in the UK to take a look. Minute and Hour hand stop when the minutes reach around 12 while the second hand merrily sweeps. It has got progressively worse so it looks like the cannon pinion slipping? It adjusts just fine.

Pretty disappointed if im honest - its my favourite (most expensive) rep and is far from the oldest yet its the only one thats failed me.

Looks perfect to mee. Really nice xtal and the case looks like a real VSF. Lucky guy!

Jakeson, do you have a pic of your movement? Only VSF has a true clone of the 3235 so it is easy to tell from that if you have a gen VSF or somethng else. My QC did not include a movement pic so that is why i posted here.

The watch works really fine even better than the other 126610LV and ist water proofed from the guy I bought so I don't really want to open the case. The power reserve ist about 55hrs but to be honest the 126610LV from the first batch also doesn't achieve the 70hrs. The biggest difference for me was the xtal and the case.
Attached a foto of the 126610LV first batch and the 126610LN after raids.

Jakeson, your watch looks really nice. With the S/N beginning with 2R… it is more than likely a VSF as I have not seen any other factory use this number sequence. It may be of a lesser quality as I’ve read that some of the newer ones don’t feel the same as those that came out in the beginning.

What throws me is the different S/N that appears on mine and on the other member’s watch. I have not found any reference that VSF is no longer using 2R.. S/Ns and and has started using 3M88… instead. I’ve combed this long thread and checked RG and all I see are 2R… I still have not heard from my guy and will update when I do.

Here are all my QC pics

Could this be from CF old batch? Crown's guard look straight like what CF used to be.

This is interesting. I just heard from my TD who said that VSF is using the S/N beginning with 3M88… in its newest batch of 126610LV’s and LN’s.

Can anyone confirm this, especially if you got QC pics in the last week? If so, did anyone also get a pic of the movement as part of the set?

Wawawasim.

This would suggest that VSF is back in production, which I haven't heard

I remember reading that they were releasing product in spirts every 10-14 days then laying low again, but cannot recall anyone confirming this. If this is existing or new product, I’m not sure.

Here is a pic of the serial from my qc. A little hard to tell (especially because imgur compressed it) but it looks like it starts with 2R9.

Just for reference, here's my accepted QC on a VSF 126610LV. It has the 2R9 serial number as well..

Think 3M88 is for sure no VSF but anyways your watch looks great. I think we are a part of the Problem because we created a hype around the VSF Rollies...and with the Rides this hype just went out of control. The guys in Asia aren't stupid and are taking advantage of the hype and the demand.

I can also imagine, that the VSF suppliers started delivering other factories or even VSF supplies oder factories in order increases the volumes in the manufacture to reduce tooling costs.

Hi all, my 126610LN arrived today, thanks to Jtime for a good experience and very professional service. That’s the 3 Subs in my collection. I have a JF16610LN which I love. My first sub a Noib V7 and now the VRF 126610LN.
first impressions- bezel is super, the clicks are solid, super smooth and no play. The date looks good and centred IMHO. The bracelet is very nice with a nice clasp solid close.
the Sel is ok, not perfect, but I not going to let it stop me enjoy it. Timekeeping seems stop on although it’s only been a few hours. My step crown also lines up which is also cool. The winding is like butter the best of the 3 I have.
so in short for the money I think it’s super and look forward to enjoying it.
thanks for all the content and support from RWI
