I got a Case set with Dial, Hands, bracelet parts. After inspection of the Set, I noticed that only the Case, Dial and Hands where usable. But also the Case needs work. Installed Plexi is not really usable, also the crown tube must replaced . I reshaped the Case a bit, installed a gen Tube and drilled the Lugholes to 1,2mm. I ordered a Gen Valljoux 7750 that is not arrived yet. To get a feeling how it looks I put it together for a Test I also got a nice Italian 78360 bracelet from an RWI Member. Now I need 589 Endlinks, so if anybody has some, let me know.... Keep u updated about the progress.

So it's a cheapo 2813 based watch from a friend. He showed it to me and I told him it's not wearable in the Factory condition [emoji1787]. This is only a friendship service because he is a nice guy. Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk

Hey , thank you for your offer. No it's a refinished Dial. Lugholes are drilled now. Next step is to fit SEL's right on the Case and installing fat Springbars. [emoji6]

Not ready yet. Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk

So a gen crystal will fit, u need the nylon gasket to fit the retainer. That's a non bezel click construction as it should be for 1675. The Lugholes are drilled to 1,2mm too. Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk

It's a Mochacha Dial. Gen Plexi, and some other gen Parts.[emoji6] Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk

Yes it's is I'm really pleased with the VSF126610. It's really quality and feels not really like Rep. The new 3235 keeps good time and has a good Power- Reserve. All the dates are nicely centered and also the numbers looks like gen on every date. The Dial has beatyfull Indicies with nice shape like gen. Print is crisp. The crystal is the best I've ever seen on Rep in ages. Great Blackhole and Halo effect on the Magnifier. Also seems the backside of the crystal has some AR coating. Case is nicely shaped, also the bracelet screems quality. I measured the Case and also the bracelet and compared to gen. There are slight differences, but it's minimal and not noticeable with the naked eye. Here are the results Rolex Submariner Date 126610 Gen Diameter: 40.5 mm Lug to lug: 47.6 mm Clasp: 18.83 mm Lug width: 26.7 mm Thickness: 12 mm SEL 21mm Last Link 16,5mm VSF Submariner Date 126610 Diameter: 40,6mm Lug to lug: 47.6 mm Clasp: 18.97 mm Lug width: 26.7 mm Thickness: 12,60 mm SEL 21mm Last Link 16,5mm As I told before, for me it's the best Sub OTB.

Thanks guys, I want an objective review, with facts no [censored] and guess like on the RWI thread. Hope this is usefull for you. Cheers Tribal Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk

You are right, no Mods needed on this one. For me it's the best Sub OTB. The movement seems to be very good too. I got a Powerreserve about 69h, not shure it was fully wind. Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk

Hey Gang, after I received the VSF 126160LN I took my time to compare to gen. This is my measurements compared to gen 126610 Rolex Submariner Date 126610 Gen Diameter: 40.5 mm Lug to lug: 47.6 mm Clasp: 18.83 mm Lug width: 26.7 mm Thickness: 12 mm SEL 21mm Last Link 16,5mm VSF Submariner Date 126610 Diameter: 40,6mm Lug to lug: 47.6 mm Clasp: 18.97 mm Lug width: 26.7 mm Thickness: 12,50 mm SEL 21mm Last Link 16,5mm On the Picture we see the difference to 116610. Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk The crystal is something different to all Crystals we have before. It has an AR layer on the underside of the crystal. This is also on the gen and introduced the first time on the 2020 models. This one has a real Blackhole and the Halo Effect is present. Best Rep Crystal I've seen in ages.. Here can you see the nice Holo Effect The date on the VSF is spot on, every single Number is nicely clean printed and centered. No need to change to gen. The ceramic Inlay is deep black and the numbers are well made with a nice platinum coating. Pearl is also nice. The Dial is very well made, crisp Printing, the Indicies had a nice shape like gen, Lume is even applied. Also the Hands where clean machined on this. The bracelet is nicely finished, SEL fitting is perfect. No sharp edges, well made Clasp.

Hey mate, long time no see. Look around u will be impressed how far Quality is since 2006! Nice U are back Cheers Tribal Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk

This is the first Sub that don't need any mods as I allways do! Crystal with real Blackhole and great Holo around the mag. Date looks really genlike. Winding Crown has sharp teeth like gen Inlay is beautiful. Finish of all parts and haptic is spot on. Best Sub OTB![emoji106] Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk
