How do the diamonds on the diamond vanguard compare to the gen? Do they lose their shine easily ? Should one go for a diamond vanguard or better to go without diamonds if you want to say as close,to the gen as possible?

I’m loving my ss version.

Was looking for a more ‘modest’ watch to wear for work and in meetings.

The strap is high quality leather/rubber material, the dial pops, the watch fits snug.

Only thing I will fault is the clasp, it doesn’t deploy both ends so you need to click one side off.

I highly recommend it!

This one really looks good! What factory is it from? Where did you buy it? I can't find the exact same on trusty...

How is your guys experience with water proofness?
i checked the pictures of the titanium vanguard on some websites of TDs and did not see any o-ring on the caseback.
The vanguard isn’t a watch to swim for sure, but I wouldn’t enjoy the watch if I could not wash my hands without being nervous ;-)
Thanks!

If your washing your hands and not your wrists then you won’t have a problem. Lol

FYI a fella bought a gen Vanguard V45 paying a fortune.
just checked his piece and compared with my beloved (GF) V45 and all I can say is that the GF/ZF V45 is NWBIG, period.

Dial, case, crown, engravings, wind up, date fonts are as per gen, even the strap+delpoyant combo feels more comfy :p the rep is an incredible solid build.
