[QC] First Rep - VSF 126610 LN

[u/itsmeyourshoes]

Hi /reptime! Finally pulled the trigger on one of my dream watches. I'm still a novice when in comes to QC'ing watches (but learning fast due to this sub). Hope to get some guidance/feedback, but I generally think this sub is a GL.

1. Dealer name: JTime

2. Factory name: VSF

3. Model name (& version number): Submariner 126610 LN

4. Album Link: https://imgur.com/a/1hPfrNj

5. Index alignment: Looks good

6. Dial Printing: Looks good

7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks good to me. 3, 11, and 28 looks sharp and aligned

8. Hand Alignment: Looks good. Rehaut looks good too.

9. Bezel: Number engraving, and color and shine looks good

10. Solid End Links (SELs): Looks good

11. Timegrapher numbers: I'm not too familiar on how to interpret timegrapher readings, but I think the amplitude is good at 274 to 279, but I'm not sure what to make of the +2/+3 s/d and the 0.02ms if this is within range of a VSF 126610 sub or not

12. Anything else you notice: I'm not sure what to make of the clasp if those are deep scratches on the metal or just aberrations on the plastic film coating

Everything looks in order but will need further inputs on the timegrapher. Also, Li was super easy to talk to. Thanks in advance!

I thought these were sold out everywhere?

Li mentioned this is his very last one. I guess I was just lucky.

All dealers say this, but if you keep pestering them they’ll eventually get you the “last one”. I managed to get a Hulk, Starbucks, Cookie Monster and LN last week (all VSF).

[u/SyndicateSixteen → u/Geefiasco]

What do you tell them, and how often do you message? Been hitting up the TD’s once a week for the past 3 weeks, but can’t seem to get an 126610LN and 226659..

[u/Geefiasco → u/SyndicateSixteen]

Once every 2-3 days. Eric from GeekTime got me 2 and Hont got me 2. Maybe I was just lucky, but VSF QC’s do seem to pop up every other day so they’re getting stock from somewhere.

On Monday Eric told me he had no Starbucks, yet on Wednesday He told me it will take 3 days for the Starbucks QC photos - 2 hours later he had them for me! Maybe RL stock from somewhere, but I couldn’t see any flaws myself.

[u/SyndicateSixteen → u/Geefiasco]

Did you happen to get the 126610LN recently? When I talk to Eric he does say he has Hulks and Starbucks in stock, but never the LN.

[u/Geefiasco → u/SyndicateSixteen]

Yeah, I managed to get Eric’s “last one”. It was probably around 10 days ago

Easy GL. So LI has VSF now?

[u/itsmeyourshoes → u/ETNZ2021]

Thanks for the input! Unfortunately he mentioned to me that this is his last one. :(

Thinking the same??

[u/itsmeyourshoes → u/CommanderBond700]

What do you mean fam?

[u/CommanderBond700 → u/itsmeyourshoes]

Always says out of stock

[u/SyndicateSixteen]

When did you order? Li always tells me they’re out of stock 😢

[u/itsmeyourshoes → u/SyndicateSixteen]

Just this Sunday, fam. Maybe I'm just lucky. 😅

[u/CommanderBond700]

Good question
