That looks awesome bro. I’m tempted to snag one. I’m really wanting a LB though lol I doubt they will release one at this point.

If I am to believe the TD's then there will be no LB, we get these LN's and when they have gone, that's VSF finished. If there is a blue one, I'll need a new wallet.

Nice watch bjorn, a little bit of gold bleed but I think we can fix it with one of these..

3235-270 - Cannon Pinion
3235-421 - Pallet Fork
3235-410 - Escape Wheel
3235-125 - Bridge for Center Wheel


1) There are three height of cannon pinion in the market, plus, VS cannon pinion is almost identical to Rolex version, in quality, material and decoration, no need to update.
2) again, need special tool to replace pallet fork, escape wheel
3) Similar to 1), Rolex 3235-125 is very identical to VS, plus, there might be height issue to fit Rolex or VS 3235-360. If you keep VS 3235-360, better keep VS 3235-125.

Chatting about an LB. I just recently bought a gen LB 126 bezel and thinking about putting it on my LN when it arrives and perhaps using a GMF LB dial… I’ve been told I can grab a set of gen LB hands, crown and xtal etc from one of my parts dealers

GMF also do a fully wrapped two-tone bracelet which I may end up using. I just think the VSF mid case is incredible. I may buy another one actually lol

What don’t you like about the VS LN dial to make you want to switch to GMF? Why wouldn’t you just grab a VS 126619LB?

VS don’t have a 126619LB and I don’t think the VS 126613LN dial is the same as a 126619lb right?

Sure they do. And no the dial of the 126613 has gold indices but you’re not talking about putting a blue bezel on a gold dial are you? That would be some weird fantasy watch.

Sorry, I’m referring to the blue two tone. 126613LB, which I don’t believe VS makes one… that’s why I was planning to use the VS 126613LN as base and to take out the dial etc.

Oh, my bad dude. I love the look of the 116613LB and the 126613LB’s, great color combo!

Great color. Assuming they source the same factory for plating, 126618 will definitely have the same gold plating color?

The “solid” gold version looks straight up copper in some light. It’s one of those things that once you see it in real life it forever looks ugly to you. The TT isn’t as offensive (since there’s gold)

You use it like a pencil, it recreates a brushed finish. I will use it to erase the gold bleeding onto the SEL's.

This surely needs clarification, doesn't it.
Besides that, may the index 6 is also crooked.
