VSF 126610 Submariner with VS3235 Latest Movement 72 Hours Power Reserve

I doubt it unless CF are making larger inserts. From my understanding they are larger in diameter on the 12 series.

That's what I thought as well but also only theory as why the price is higher but we will see when pretty sure vsf will come out with one of those rep press releases lol
Interesting that the 12 reference Subs (and SD43) have reverted to the flimsy looking case movement tabs, rather than the srews and then rotating the case to the cutouts. Seems like a rather large backward step -- I would have thought it is less secure this way. It certainly looks cheap.

Fully agree on CGs, markers and SELs. Not sure about the rounded edges, the watch still has tons of protective foil on it. The lugs of the gen 1266xx are actually dead straight when shot 100% from the front. As soon as the camera is just a little off axis, you get that sloped line. It's just the falling edge between the two surfaces.
When it comes down to the overall profile of the case, this EWF case looks better than VSF. I am a fan of VSF products and really hope they will fix the lugs issue.
Here is the EWF 126610, see how nicely defined the lugs are

Honestly, I think I am in agreement with you and this is coming from a VSF Sub owner from last gen. The fit and finish of the case doesn't seem great. Gonna hold off for now.

Made a small collage between a gen 124060 and the new vsf 126xxx also some measurements pictures from the Gen I found on a Chinese forum.

Is that a white gold plate insert with the serial # on the movement main plate?

Took pictures of my gen 116610, 126600, and 126660 so show how much the SELs recess.
Gen 126610 SELs are closer to 126600 than 116610.

I really want to love it but these pics leave a few questions unanswered:
- are the inserts CF?
- Are they white, platinum, or greyish?
- Can anyone make out the Rehault engravings or alignment?
116610LN is still the winner in my book. Hopefully we get some nice VSF marketing to follow soon.

Might make sense to wait for pictures of the VSF before jumping to any conclusions, right?

Completely agree here. I don't understand how people want gen like watch but want to pay canal street like prices. As the quality of these reps get better, prices are going to go up. If you can't afford $100 more for a better quality watch, you should not be wearing a Rolex replica in the first place.
If price is the only factor that matters, then there are plenty of canal street Rolex that can be had for a $100.
