VSF 126610 Submariner with VS3235 Latest Movement 72 Hours Power Reserve

[easylink]

Hey.
It's been a while since I got my VSF 126610 LN from Puretime and everything was fine. After a few days I noticed that the date sits too low and I contacted them. They told me that they would take care of my watch but they are not able to repair it in a while because of the raids. 1 months later they said I can send them the watch and it will be repaired.
So I send the watch to the address which was on the repair form and it took another month because they told me that the watch was lost. Weeks went by and I didn't get any updates about my watch. Then finally they got the watch and said that they are going to repair it and then I'm going to get notified by there repair department. So I waited patiently for weeks and nothing happened.
I ask them for updates and I was told that they send the watch to the maker (VSF) to get it repaired. Now after many weeks I asked again for updates about my watch and when I will get it back.
Today I received a email from Puretime that my watch got lost because of raids and if I would like to get another watch because the VSF 126610 LN is out of stock!

I'm very disappointed with Puretimes service and I'm not sure if they are telling me the truth about my watch. Maybe they are trying to sell it for a higher Price because there is such a high demand for them right now. I'm not sure what to do. Should I get another watch from them (I like the 114060/124060) or should I try to get my money back and maybe try another dealer? What are your recommendations?
The serial number of my watch was 2R72...7 maybe it's out there anywhere..

It would have costed you probably 25 EUR / 1 day to have it fixed locally.

Rest is true there were many raids.

Get another watch TDs won't refund money.

And never ever send a watch back to China!

Wrong thread, buddy. Go to Puretime's section.

From a TD. Ask around. Start from this section: https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/trusted-rep-dealers

The problem of the bezel has been confirmed by Andrew.
So my complain was legit even if people with 3/4 years of knowledge in this forum told me it was ok.
applause!

Well, I would rather have _any_ VSF watch at this point instead of no watch at all, but that's just me...

it's true the endlinks are'nt going too well with the lugs shape, they protrude a bit.
I'd be curious to see how an ARF (or other factory) bracelet fit on that watch but I don't mind personally, I love that LB. In comparison the too recessed SELs from my VSF 114060 Nodate bugged me much more than these little overflushed ones.

As usual flaws are part of the game and all in all this Sub is an amazing rep OOTB.

Just curious, how do you guys feel about the steel color of the 126619lb rep? I can't see a major difference between the steel rep and the wg gen. Am I missing something?

I keep hearing that wg should have a slight yellowish hue, which steel obviously does not have. A yellow highlighter pen has been used by some ppl to imitate that hue to some effect, but that will wear out in time.

Haven't seen a wg gen tho, so this is just hearsay. Take it with a pinch of salt.

White gold is a similar colour to sterling silver. Its both whiter and warmer than steel.

Wind your neck in. You posted all your QC pics asking for feedback which is against the rules and generally gets ignored. The ‘problems’ were actually stickers and there may have been some dirt on the insert. Anyone else would have simply asked the TD if it was dirt and for another pic. Instead you come back here and make a pillock out of yourself with that snarky comment.

Pillock! Excellent word! Not quite as spectacular as "cockwomble" but splendid nonetheless. Well done.

Guys, I got two VSF 12116610LV/LN recently from Li and my opinion after two week of having them in hand is that my ARF 116610LN SH3135 is the exact same quality if not better. As someone has pointed out, VSF subs are great reps but there was created a hype around them that doesnt make sense. ARF subs (at leats the one I own 3 years old) are on the same league and have better bracelet plus not having the issues with the bezel acction and the Sels. Wait for VSF to come back or go for ARF but again I am not an expert.

ARF case is not 1:1
