Thank you. When I will receive the watch I will decide.. maybe I will change only the clasp, it doesn’t look good in picture. But I have to see it in hands.

Just received mine with S19 serial from Sead’s U.K. stock and have to say it’s very impressive now. I had an early one and wasn’t that impressed but they upped the quality since!
Nice one ! What are, in your views, the major improvements compared to the early generation VSFs ?
Is the gen xtal adding lots of value or is it just minor improvement ?

Compared the first one I had the bracelet is way better. It feels more solid and doesn’t rattle. Also the gap between the sel and first link is smaller as per gen.
The hands match perfectly now with the markers. Also the hands are much better finished too.
The crown has the correct small gap where it screws in the case unlike my first one which screwed tight to the case.
The crystal edge profile is better now and closer to a gen example. Personally I won’t bother with a gen crystal but gen is gen and there are slight differences in the finish of the cyclops compared to the vsf but no big deal for me.
Datewheel font is a bit thinner now too and pretty much perfect. No need to change really.
I think that pretty much sums it up. Get a good well qc’ed example and you have a perfectly wearable rep that doesn’t need loads of gen parts if you are on a budget.

This 309 amplitude is a bit high, isn't it?
Based on everything I've read, for a healthy movement (freshly serviced), 270-310 is what you want.
I just received the new 116610lv yesterday. I have the first variation and on the new one the rehaut is better and the date font is thinner but my bezel is super loose. It wobbles and is easy to rotate. I'm definitely not happy with that. The first variation has a super tight bezel with solid clicks.

Anyone having issues with slightly on the loose side bezel rotation? I was excited for my LV but now I’m not.
probably. Kind of sucks I rather wear my ARF LV with fat lugs. Hopefully I can get it fixed
I had this (for me) "minor" problem on a ZZF V3 Sub LN.
TD said "its normal", but i could send it back for repair / change.
But thats no option for me, sending a rep out of my country. So i sold it.

My LN bezel has a decent amount of play but the rotation itself feels solid and things are aligned, so I don't mind much

What is the "fix" for this? Bezel inserts are pretty available but click springs are much more rare to find.
I was told the same thing. I'm going to see if a state side watchmaker can fix it. If not I will probably sell also

I honestly don't know. I was hoping someone would chime in and say its fixable.
