VSF came in yesterday and already on my first draft of my mini review. Should be concise, sweet and full of photos!

strange, I found this one on chrono24, from 2017... and dial, wider hands and bold date font is there, as if it was gen version VSF built their version on: https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/rolex-submariner-date-black-steel--id15874339.htm

That does not look like a gen to me bro. Look how square the hour marker corners are. It wouldn't be the first time a rep was offered on C24.

kennygconspiracy new VSF looks better than that.

AFAIK, Rolex has not changed the hands style over the years on the Sub C either. Take a look at the listings on Bob's watches. There are 116610LN's from 2014 through 2020. Keep clicking on the image to increase resolution. You can see the hands are all the same and the hour markers are not square.

I've never seen a fake at Bob's, they have the pieces in hand and authenticate every one. Pics are actual photos.

thanks for the video, it makes me even more impatient. Spectacular VSF !!! By the way guys, on the Puretime website ARF v4 already appears, it's the same weird thing from before but it says v4. I don't understand how ARf makes their watches with such quality and at the same time they don't take into account many details ...

Lawny could you make some videos with different bright interior lighting? If you do it from 1 meter or even more using the zoom it will look more natural. Thank you and I hope you understand those of us who are impatiently waiting for our VSF lolololo

One thing I did notice under natural light is the lume on the hands are slightly white where as the lume on the dial is more creamy coloured. Not really noticeably unless your looking for it. I’ve had this watch a few days now and only just noticed it lol. I tried to capture it in this pic but I think the video above shows it better.

Thanks mate, it really is a great watch straight ootb and for the price it’s a steal!

Hey I’ve been considering getting a submariner for a few weeks and I think I’m now persuaded. This VSF model looks the one.

Oh, that would be a no go for me... Anyone else noticed this with his watch?
