Lug width 21.2

Removable links 16.98

Clasp 19.38

Bezel 40.6

Thickness 12.1

*Lug outside*27.4

End link to end link 51.6

Case 10 to 4* 40.58

Watch arrived
Very pleased with the look.
Dial is sharp, bezel insert color is great, doesn't washout as much as my zzf z2s in bright light. Bezel action is a little sloppy and notch hopefully this improves with use. Bracelet and clasp look great but there is some side to side play in clasp. Hands are well finished. Black hole is on par with ZF but has more blue tint. Movement is very smooth, date font is not thick at all on any numbers. Rehaut alignment is better than there 116610. Sel recess is there but less than the 116610 as per gen. Measurements above.

Just noticed there is some gap between bracelet and lugs when held up to light but not noticeable on wrist

Watch looks great. Is this one with the new VSF clone movement? I'm really interested in the reliability of the movement. Thanks for the review.

Watch looks gorgeous!

How does it wear compared to the previous 116610 model? Assuming you own or owned one, of course.

I'm very interested in a LN model, however I'm unsure about the bracelet and clasp for my small wrist.

Mine arrived today too

My bezel is tight to turn but I like that. Crystal defo has inside ar on all of it plus the black hole.

Great overall actually.
Will add that my digital calliper reads different
Clasp width 19.25
Last link 16.84
Sel width 21.21


I will add that a standard 295 crystal is the same dimension although won’t have the internal ar so a new part number needs to be discovered.

It wears a bit more balanced. I wear my watches a bit loose and just like the sd43 the extra size on the bracelet and thinner case make it sit really well.

To me the watch head wears the same as the older 11 series but the clasp is the biggest difference to me. It looks much more balanced. Sorry to jump I’m on your thread!

Is the 126610 case thinner than 116610?

A few days ago I was at my AD and tried the new OP41 and it sat super comfortable and flat on my wrist compared to the older OP39.

That‘s why I am wondering if they also slimmed the Sub case down. From 12.5mm to 12.25mm or do you maybe know the exact numbers?

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!

Is there anything you prefer on the 116610, or is this watch better in every way? Sorry for the 21 questions, I'm just about to place an order. I love the fact that this new release has a thinner case and lugs. Seems like Rolex really nailed this design

If it was a level playing field I would choose the 126610 over the 116610. But if I had to choose one watch from the 2 I have I would keep the zf 116610 over the vsf 126610. Simply because the bezel and bracelet/clasp are better engineered and therefore feel more premium. Not to say the vsf is bad because it certainly isn't. But between these 2 the zf is better

I’m like you as I have ZF too. It just has a higher build quality over the vsf but it’s still very good. Once held in hand the difference is clear.
