​​​​Only the Miyota 8215 movement suffers from occasional stuttering.
To my knowledge it is no longer being used for this watch.

Do they all stutter when shaken? Or just some of them?

The V6F is the only version to use the Miyota movement that is sometimes prone to stuttering. I have the V6F and it runs perfectly without stutter.

But if you are looking at a V6F either from a TD or via m2m, request a one-minute video of the watch running so you can confirm the second hand sweeps without stuttering.

Does anyone know if there are any plans to release the non Bond version of this watch?
Cheers

Just got mine yesterday. MKS model after 2 RL from my TD. Very happy with it. And the Rep NATO isn't half bad at all.

Go for the VSF!
You won't regret it.
Ones you've noticed all the flaws on the MKS, you'll start seeing it all the time... (and will sell the MKS and go for the VSF)

I'm in the same situation like you. I ordered a VSF with both straps on January, got my 1st QC pic before Lunar New Year but with some flaws then I asked my TD to change to another one.

Then after LNY I received another one, the dial & the back are fine however the bracelet got the "TM" this time, so I gently asked my TD to send it back to VSF again as the latest version shouldn't have that "TM".

Luckily my TD happily return it for me. All we have to do is to wait patiently I guess :)

In case you don't know, MKS has the word JEWETS written on the movement as oppose to JEWELS. But they could have changed that.

Thanks, yes i know. its a really stupid mistake but lets be honest, who is going to look at the back of the watch?
dont know about other flaws, some members here on the forum even said the dial is better than vsf?

Go for the VSF!

the thing that puts me off actually is the "special" movement
if it breaks i would have to send it to a experienced member here on the forum to get it repaired
but it would be much much easier to just replace the movement with an eta or similar, but i dont know if it would fit the case or the hands would fit.

Neither the ETA movement will fit in the VSF-case, nor the REP-hands will fit on the GEN-ETA.
But the 8400-clone movements seem to be very reliable (regarding the posting in this forum).

Received my VSF today.
The watch wears smaller on my (slender) wrists than I had feared, so I'm happy with that.
The striped nato that comes with it is actually of rather good quality.
As always, these babies look even prettier in real life than in all those inflated pics.

I received my watch and I am impressed, I am very pleased with my purchase. Thank you to everyone in the forum you guys rock, I follow everyone's advise and it paid off.
Pictures can be deceiving, the watch looks larger than life in your monitor for every little flaw to be picked however irl it is a different story. In my hands to me it feels like a gen this is something that you need to experience is not something that you would see in a picture.
I am hooked I am looking forward to my next rep I can only hope is as good as this one.
Here a few pictures of mine, I think the pictures look bad compared to how good it looks irl.
