modernclassic At the first, congrats for the 3d. it is very interesting. I think that's the best review of the VSF 116610 LV. But I have only one disappointment to do at this review (if you let me). The comparison about the 116610 LV is between the VSF and the ZZF V2S.. so considering that the last release of the ZZF factory is the v3 this comparision confuse me a little bit because it doesn't allow to compare the last release of the VSF factory with the last release of the ZZF factory. I have two question for you (and for all our community)..

- as far as you now.. the bezel insert of the ZZFV2S is the same of the ZZFV3?
- cold you point me out the differences about the dial of the two rep? (for me this is the hardest point to compare because I haven't found the comparision between this 2 rep and the gen).

Thank you all for reading my post. I wish you have all a good evening.

Good points.. yes I compared with a zzfv2s but with the stock and an ARF bracelet, which is basically what a zzfv3 is. The zzfv3 has a different bezel to the v2s, but also a different bezel to the VSF too.
Best of all, I compared to the quality and feel of a genuine watch, colour aside. I believe the dial colour of VSF to be superior, the zzffv2s was a little washed out compared to it. I answered these dial observations earlier in the thread I’m sure.

I believe VSF to be the best rep Sub you can buy. But I haven’t seen a zzfv3 or ZF or ARF.. but I/you/we really don’t need to.. VSF is it!

Well they did do a number of updates from v2s to v3. New bezel, new dial color, new round hour markers, new bracelet clasp. Don't get me wrong, i really like the VSF, and i have one on order. But the ZZF v3 is also a very nice watch, with a very high build quality. (I did a mini review here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...v3-116610lv-hulk-comparison-with-gen-116610ln )

Calling a watch the best, without a handson comparison with the competition, might be a bit premature :) Either way, the ZZF, the ZF and the VSF are all amazing, they all have tiny flaws, and people pick the flaws they can live with, and that's what makes it the best sub for them. I for one would never wear one of these watches without modding / frankening it first, but hey, that's just my level of OCD :)

You are absolutely correct. I didn’t compare to the other offerings, folk will need to read other reviews and make their own decisions . I just offer my experience and opinion and I hope it helps.

I agree with you again, but if I may substantiate my comments on it being the best despite not having others to compare it to, I’ll try.

The ZZFV3 may have other upgrades beyond the V2S in my comparison, but the crown guards are not correct like gen, but VSF is.
The ZF may be $100 more expensive, and the crown guards are a little better than the ZZFV3, but still they not like genuine.
The ARF V4 and latest Noobs are way behind, we all know that.
The ZZFV3 with its new bracelet and clasp from ARF is not anywhere near as good as VSF’s bracelet, nowhere. I have one to compare with. The VSF bracelet out the box needs no work or mods to feel like it’s genuine, softness, weight, feel, clasp and flip, tightness of the glide- all like genuine, actually it feels better than my genuine as that had 2 years wear!

The VSF has a perfect date wheel and font, great crystal, genuine bracelet and clasp, a bezel with bright platinum and a nice recess, I see zero flaws ( I don’t consider the first R rehaut to be a flaw) and the weight overall is within 2grams of the genuine watch. There is literally almost nothing left to improve upon.

AND.. it has its own in-house beautiful finished movement that feels smooth like butter.

So when I consider the above, my opinion is VSF, it’s the best Submariner replica you can buy. It’s like having a real one.

I was hoping for a sunny day today. Feels like Seattle. I’ll post a couple of pictures later but I do want to say I do like the bracelet.
I bought an RXF Ln that I removed 2 links from, one on each side. Good fit. With the VSF I removed 3 links, 2 and 1 per side. It was a little tight at first, opened up the glide lock, feels great.
I should say I have a 7 1/2” wrist. The bracelet on the RXF is good, the VSF better. I’ve been trying to compare it to my ARF bracelet. I need a little more time with that.
One thing I can say is the snap closing the bracelet and clasp are superior. It feels real!

Lovely. Try shave a fingernail with the edge of a link from each bracelet (RXF, VSF, ZZF) and report back please? This will give folks an idea of the finish of each bracelet. Bearing in mind, a genuine link will not shave a fingernail, it’ll glide clean over it, front and back side of the link too.
