I’ve had the VSF 126610LN for a week now and god damn is it beautiful. I vastly prefer it over the Datejust, and find it more beautiful even.

Ironic, for a dive/sports watch which has its roots in being a tool watch, I personally find the modern Sub to be more jewelry-like than the fluted Datejust, brushed center links aside. This has firmly convinced me to get the Bluesy Sub over the blue Datejust as my first gen in the future.

Sorry. Its shorten for. "OK.

Why would you need to shorten ‘OK’? Its got 2 letters in it. Also you’re not talking to teenagers on Whatsapp.

The modern sub is only jewelry. Its a shame really. I’ve been wearing my 126610 in Italy for 3 weeks -
its 40* here and it feels big, heavy, too obvious and cumbersome - which is what the flexy instagram generation want, but I look at other peoples comfy, less garish 16610’s with some envy. The way those older Subs just ‘blend in’ is much nicer in my opinion.

I’d agree. The 126610 is a bit big. The 116610 looks better on my wrist. The 16610 is comfort and size perfection.

It's a VSF and the TD is Hontwatch based on the QC pictures.

Those photos are from hont, he always takes qc pics on that leather bag as background

Yeah, that leather texture is rather identifiable. Was trying to avoid naming the TD in case I was wrong and it looks I was. Anyhow, the watch is now GL. Hont had 2 of these left, but the first he offered was with 200 deg amplitude and I asked him to wind it fully to see if it was because of a partial wind. Instead he sent me new QC pictures for the 2nd watch above.

1st: 2R9 - SR8 - amplitude 200
2nd: A88 - SR8 (?) - amplitude 264 (this is the GL'd one)

Interesting is that the first one offered had 2R9 serial in the rehaut, even though it apparently shouldn't exist? I had to do some image transformations to bring a somewhat readable tag card text visible from one picture and in that the watch code _seems_ to be M126619LB, please see:

Could this actually be one of those copycat factory subs? nvm... looks like this is gen product code. Wonder how much of VSF stock is still kicking around somewhere. I see new QC popping up every day on Reddit.

I’ve contacted a few TD all say none left

Yes, i confirm this, my Guangzhou friend can't find any more this watch, he look to many local distributors, vsf 3235 sub and datejust are all gone.

Well of course, all modern Rolexes are just jewelry, but at the end of the day the Sub’s still a dive watch; so it’s funny that it looks more blingy than a DJ, personally.

I do agree that 5 digit Subs are better than 6 digit Subs in the aesthetics department. But the durability of the aluminum, or lack thereof, is what pushes me over to the 6 digit Subs.

Maybe they used a case of an LN or LV for that specific watch since it's all leftover stock.

Yeah, I like those too, they have a good look to them. If I got one, I would feel the need to scratch the bezel a bit, because how many gen are floating around in pristine condition? Not too many I bet. But who knows, I don't usually pay attention to the watch someone is wearing.

Sounds plausible. I was thinking that they had complete or almost complete watch heads ready, but probably they also had miscellaneous parts aplenty.

Does anyone know what serial No.s the VSF 126610LN should have.I ordered one but got sent a VSF 116610LN Ser.No S29.The dealer says he is sending a VSF 126610LN to make the order correct, but I'm not overly confident in him to be honest.

The serial should start with a 2R

 

[LongyUK]

did you find a watchsmith in uk then? I am looking for one to service my 3235 movement

Nope - just opened a thread in general discussion.

Many thanks

Funny I asked Andrew about a month ago about the 126610LV (I have the LN and love it) and he told me that it was impossible to get. Now I see QC pics of one, Every. Single. Day.

And from Trusty, no less... lol

 

[recan1ze]

How is the accuracy of the blue bezel version?

Well, if you take the case/bracelet material apart they are great.
