It is possible that my search was insufficient, but after the raid it became difficult to get accurate information, so I would like to ask the members who are still interested.
And for those who will follow:welcome:
Q1. Did TD, which has not raised the price, just forget to update their website?

After VSF was raided in April,they released a few batches of stock watches in the market still,
the last time is in early July,from then,VSF didn't release any watch in the market so far,
4 months already,no news about them still,they haven't back yet,and didn't release any watch in the market still,
As of Nov 22, the factory does not seem to be operating normally,
but now,no dealer can get these subs from VSF directly,
to me,even I can get these subs now,but all via that special channel to get them,

so for each watch,they charges me extra $30~$40 on it,

but they can confirm the ones I get all are from VSF 100%,

that extra $30~$40 not charged by me,I need pay to them,
to me,I earn the same like before,
just I can get these subs now,

for the 40 mm sub,need add $30,
for the 40 mm 116610 LN,it's $428 before,now is $458,
for the 40 mm 116610 LV,it's $458 before,now is $488,

for the 41 mm sub,need add $40,
for the 41 mm 126610 LN,it's $468 before,now is $508,
for the 41 mm 126610 LV,it's $498 before,now is $538,
But truetime168 raised the price in exchange for securing the stock somehow.
After the raid, people started posting about the ridiculous thing about fake Rep:lol3:
Q2. What is the factory called JVSF?

hi everyone .. i just noticed the new Submariner No Data 114060 by JVSF .. what do you think? The best No Data remains the CLEAN FACTORY and the VSF? thank you all
I found it in this post and jtimewatch.
Q3. What is the Asian movement ver of 116610LN?

I found it on puretime, but according to the photo of the rehaut on the website, the cereal starts from A11.
According to the website, this was added on Mar 17.
Some of you might have received QC pics from your dealers of your Hulk Submariner with serial starting with 802B on the rehaut. It is not from VSF.

VSF has already stepped forward to confirm this and have asked me to let everyone know about this.

VSF will like to clarify that they only have S18, S19 and S29 serials for the 40mm Submariners at the moment, with S29 as the latest one.
It will be different from the explanation posted on the same day.

I've received QC from Lucy (as have others) and I am happy with what I have ordered.

Lucy has been very transparent with her pricing and she has not raised her prices as much as other TDs, but thats their business.

She has explained it clearly as an intermediary cost, a small markup, that she is not pocketing, which many people, myself included, are willing to pay.

She has also been very transparent about availability and managing people's expectations.

Will VSF come back, I have no idea?
What I do know is that, currently, I am happy to pay $508 for the watch I want v the alternative which is $888 with another TD, so that's all that matters to me.

Would I have liked to pay $468, of course (an extra $40 worth of Rum is always preferable) but $508 is not a deal breaker for me.

Am not actually sure what the purpose of your post is tbh?

You also may want to get that MultiAccount designation label under your username sorted, am sure the Mods can clear that up for you.

P..DR..D Thank you for your reply.
I agree. She is my first choice after the raid.
The strange watches in Q2 and Q3 are confusing me.

Cool, best of luck Sir,
Hope you get the watch/watches you're after.

Re the fake fakes, it is of course a risk, but she's a TD and she would be very silly to risk her reputation / RWI selling privileges by attempting to sell these versions (especially as the experts on here can spot these versions)

Re the MultiAccount label, maybe you should log a ticket at the below to clear it up with the forum Mods:

Some TDs were provided with fake VSF by their suppliers and resold them unknowingly. They realised that and apologized.

If you have received a watch that is not what you paid for you should ask your TD to find a fair solution, and if they don't then you can open a support ticket here.

BTW you may want to fix your multi account

Tobel Thank you for your reply.
I believe you and withdraw the lawsuit.
Previously, from my experience of being reimbursed under conditions favorable to TD, I thought that the buyer should not be in a disadvantageous market and wanted to share my failure story with the members.

​​​​​​I submitted a support ticket for this, but it seems that their work is slow.
Thank you for your concern.

Ultimate watch is the vsf hulk with zf dial

Could you kindly post pictures of a ZF dial in sunlight? I own the gen and have owned just about every hulk there is from the different factories, including ZF and they ALL have bad sunburst reflection. However, in terms of quality, build, details, when comparing them to my gen, VSF hands down wins.

It's always useful to keep in mind that a TD's review isn't always going to offer the most unbiased of opinions... This one being subtly skewed in favour of ZF (although Angus does give VSF and ZF the same top score for the dial).

The photos in this review are also awful WRT assessing any sunburst/dial quality. Sunburst dials are very hard to photograph well, and in Angus' review the lighting is about 100% as bad as it could be - harsh, direct and the watches are in a sterile white environment.

And it sounds like you're in the best position to give an opinion on this anyway buddy, having owned them all!
