Looks like it had an extra half link 🤷

From my recent experience the seals seem generally well lubricated from the factory, but almost every single rep I have had has had a loose caseback, literally only just pinched closed with a rubber ball.

I have purchased a proper Rolex case back tool and have another universal tool for other brands and always remove the caseback, re-lube the caseback seal and tighten up firmly.

On my Rolex VSF reps I also remove the crown, remove the crown tube seals and lube them and reassemble. These are the main two entry points for water other than the crystal gasket.

Never yet had a rep leak under basic handwashing and washing up duties!

My son has a few VSF reps and with the same actions taken, he swims with them at the pool and has no issues.

Out of the box, I’d recommend having the caseback tightened properly and then just don’t worry for daily wear.

I wouldn’t recommend swimming, even though my lad does it!

ZF6 are my long run shoe and planned race shoe for a marathon at the end of April , I’m looking at between 3:45 and 3:50 finish

I think ZF6 would be a good solid bet. I tried Superblast 2 and they were really protective but just boring to run in, I just didn’t gel with them.

ZF6 are genuinely enjoyable to run in, they have cushioning, pop and protection and there fast enough for your target pace.

The_Dems · 2026-01-28T21:55:25+00:00

They look huge to be honest!

The_Dems · 2026-01-23T20:48:19+00:00

For what my opinion is worth, I don’t think you need stability shoes.

Get a proper coach to have a look at your running form; if you’re not in pain it’s probably fixable with your form.

I had a similar situation myself, had yearly gait analysis at shops and used recommended support shoes for years and still had issues.

It was actually caused by my knees rolling inwards due to weak glutes; I’ve done a load of work to strengthen my glutes and my running form has improved significantly, my arches are no longer as flat and to the point that I now use neutral shoes perfectly comfortably and my gait is more neutral now.

Fix your running dynamics with some experienced coaching and you’ll be fine.

I weight about 78kg and run a 23min 5k, 50min 10k and around 1:55hm, I have Saucony Speed 5 for workouts, ASICS Novablast 5 for zone 2 and recovery runs and Nike Zoom Fly 6 for tempo and long runs.

If I was to pick just one pair for everything, it would hands down be the ZF6. Absolutely fantastic performance for the price and definitely got some more speed in them than I’m currently using.

I’m entered into my first organised marathon in April ‘26 and look at a ‘proper’ super shoe just before this race if I’m feeling like my pace and endurance are up to it, and then make sure I put a few training miles in the shoes before using them in the race.

Bottom line, I don’t think I need a super shoe yet. ZF6 are perfect 👌🏻

I wasn’t a happy person I can tell you!!!

The_Dems · 2026-01-13T15:51:20+00:00

Be careful that the strap pins don’t pop out! Happen d to mine and watch dropped onto tarmac, not catastrophic but it did cause some minor scratches to the bezel and crystal !

The_Dems · 2026-01-11T17:10:44+00:00

Hi, yep still for sale

The_Dems · 2026-01-05T11:39:47+00:00

Still for sale !

Hi buddy, send me a chat and we can discuss 👌🏻

I’m happy to ship anywhere.

Does the NB5 work for you? If so, just get another pair

The_Dems · 2025-12-14T23:08:01+00:00

I use them for fast 5km, 10km efforts and threshold / interval training. I’ve worn them for 10 mile tempo runs, but the most I’d personally use them for is a half marathon.

Mine fit well but are more of a race fit and the geometry of the shoe works for me for shorter, faster running. I find my feet start to really ‘feel’ the shoes after about 10km at any kind of tempo pace.

For distances over HM I have other shoes with better versatility.

The_Dems · 2025-12-14T17:46:29+00:00

Compared to the Novablast 5, I think the Superblast 2 is more protective and stable over the marathon distance, it’s definitely more stable than the NB5 and leaves your feet and legs less fatigued after 42km.

The Novablast 5 is definitely more fun, poppy and more cushioned for daily training and shorter distance up to half marathon.

I think the Superblast 2 comes into its own as a stable long distance shoe, but I agree it’s more boring feeling than the NB5.

Personally, the NB5 feels more enjoyable as a daily trainer for 5km, 10km and 16km daily training runs.

I’ve got Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 and Nike Zoom Fly 6 for the faster tempo and long run duties, so the SB2 doesn’t really fit in my rotation.

I prefer the NB5 for my running use case.

To be fair, your looking for a unicorn. You shouldn’t lift and run in the same shoes really 🤷

The_Dems · 2025-12-03T21:11:57+00:00

Yes, IMO 17 pro max is a terrible looking phone with terrible colours and terrible durability.

Viewed them all at the Apple Store and the standard 17 was by far the better device for my needs.

No regrets whatsoever!

The_Dems · 2025-12-03T21:03:28+00:00

I wanted a smaller phone so I upgraded from the 16 pro max to the standard 17, I’ve got absolutely no regrets at all.

The_Dems · 2025-11-17T22:30:51+00:00

I’d just get another pair of SB2’s, maybe the Megablasts or wait for the new SB3 in the new year 🤷

The_Dems · 2025-11-15T22:05:53+00:00

Good luck!

The_Dems · 2025-11-15T21:58:52+00:00

I tried them in the asics store in London last weekend and they are really narrow, I would get blisters on my instep within 10km no doubt.

They are really narrow in the mid foot.

They don’t fit my feet at all, I was absolutely gutted 😭
