It's here, the new rubber strap.
it's so good that I think this is it...
It sits flusher on the wrist, it's amazingly comfortable and soft and it has that pattern that imprints some classic style to the watch and a sport look at the same time.

The fit is perfect, with the Rolex 21mm spring bars (this strap is a 22mm lug width).

That looks great! Did you use the original clasp?

hope they release the ever rose version as well. Very interested to see VSF plate it.

Funny thing is I haven't seen VSF do anything in Rose Gold (Rolex) maybe they just stay away due to the horrible attempts made by others?

Anyone had any luck sourcing these recently?

Saw a few successful transactions. Reach out to your favorite TD, as these are not nearly as popular as the Sub so they should be around. I absolutely love mine.

Yeah, I’ve reached out to my usual TD’s Sead & Lucy without luck. I’ll have to broaden my sellers and ask around.

He got 12 this week but he said all of them have issues or are faulty and he can’t sell them. I had to switch out my order for something else

That sucks, m2m would now be the only option, don’t think VSF will be producing any more rolex models.

Recently I got to see some pictures of yacht 42 .. It seems that in recent versions the factory has corrected the numbers on the insert ..
In the first editions the numbers were glued to the end of the insert and not so much in the middle and lately it seems in the middle and closer to the glass like the real one.
Can anyone confirm this?

Don't know what you're talking about.
I have one of the first and that bezel is a work of art...

If you have one of the first expenses then the numbers on the bezel are far from the glass too much and originally it is not like that.
Probably the latest versions have fixed this

It's the first time I'm hearing that...

Here's a pic I've posted a while back, comparing VSF and Gen.
