VSF New Release of 114060 No Date Submariner!

[derjenigewelcher]

Well every TD has a different kind of relationship to each factorys I guess.
And maybe Bronzestar just got one of the last ones in stock. Lucky you getting first batch

Here's my franken 116610ln and no date.

Thats strange...
Diffferently Trusty told me that it will be back in stock end of april

Sad news
Andrew said that VSF will be still closed and he doesn’t have a timeline for no date pending orders...

Guys fyi. Had an email conversation with Ryan. He told me that due to raids the rep market is temporarily closed and they will hopefully start business in 2-4 weeks

Just for everyone information, i got a suggestion on ig of a big account that seems it's taking content from rwi and sharing with the their followers.

I actually posted a thread on this a few weeks ago.. he taking the post directly from the forums.. before it was mainly post from the Rolex forum now he’s been doing the same with AP’s.

the only way to stop this would be to require forum members to tag/watermark all the photos with the RWI logo prior to posting.. that would eliminate anyone taking them

Making the forum private unless you’re a member would also help. That would at least make it clear it’s a forum user doing this. Honestly this is the kind of stuff that fuels raids

Information security maybe something the forum and mods should reconsider.

A lot of information is publicly available with a google search and extremely easy to find for that matter (model + RWI)

My 2 cents from a IT security engineer

I have seen some pictures with watermarks on RWI. And it’s easy to find pictures from google and prt scr from YouTube videos. And everyone knows that many people don’t like replica markets.
but the best way to stop the pictures spreading to Instagram is to have watermarks on the pictures.

On the bracelet topic, I weighed my 114060 and 116610 bracelets and they weighed the same. The glide lock on my S29 116610 LN is super smooth. The 114060...not so much but better with a good cleaning and a tiny bit of oil.

The weak point of the latest VSFs is the bracelet
With the first batches it was so good.

After I've asked him about my picture in his IG, he has deleted it, and I guess I know his Reddit account

Yes, I agree. I have an S29 Hulk coming in. I'm interested to see what the bracelet quality will be. Hopefully the same as the S29 LN

I have read here some comparisons to the ARF and there seems to be some debate as to whether the ARF bracelet is better.

Has anyone compared this VSF to an ARF from BK?

BK takes the ARF and does the following:
- Swiss ETA 2824-2 swapped in
- line up dial 12 o'clock marker to the engraved Rolex coronet on the rehaut (based on a best-fit effort only)
- reinstall bezel insert to line it up with the dial (It's very risky and not easy. You need a special tool)
- tighten bezel (hard to do as well)
- set proper crown stem length. The factory sometimes make it too long which puts pressure on the movement and can diminish WR

The BK ARF is about $300 more, but you do get that Swiss ETA.

When you get it in your hands, let us know what you think.
However, the best bracelet was the one VSF (s18/s19) shared with the RXF.

Interesting! Could you share the link?

I can't comment on the S18/19 bracelet quality as I've never handled one. I got lucky in timing the LV order amidst the chaos. I'll definitely update when the S29 comes in.

BK describes the modifications here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...-product-offering-arf-subs-w-swiss-eta-2824-2

There are pictures of the BK ARF sub-c black no date here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/bk-s-repertorium/9586857-my-offerings

I figured someone on this thread, perhaps CJS57, has purchased a no date sub from BK. If not, maybe I'll be the first. It looks great and like it would be hard to compare to OOTB. This VSF seems like a close second.

The issue is that you still get an ARF based watch, with boxy lugs, sharp hour markers and white lume. If you're ok with that then you can consider it, otherwise you're better off with the VSF, and keep your $300 in case the movement fails later down the road, though Rolex clone movements have become rather reliable these days
