Which model? Can you show me a pic?

Sure man. Here is the 43.5mm blue dial and regular black dial. It is the same case size as the existing GMT.

And for the GMT there is also this option which also should be easy to replicate.

What do you think. Is this sonsometh VSF would consider? They already have the cases and these are not difficult to do if they managed to rep the GMT.

Black and blue dial, with orange or grey numerals.

How is VSF's planet ocean compared to gen?
What are the differences?

It's a really good replica.
Differences are on he tiny details like the overall cleaning of the dial/ hands, polishing, sealing and water resistance...

Usually the sapphire is much better on the gen, but not in this case (the VSF has an amazing double coated AR sapphire).
The VSF lume is also amazing.

The downside is the bracelet (you won't get an amazing bracelet with a replica, like you get with a gen).

Another obvious point is the movement.
You won't be getting a COSC certified chronometer from a Chinese replica.
Warranty will also be close to zero.

If you want the watch to be "perfect", you will have to pay for it.
I dont think the gen is worth 5000+ $ tho.
You pay the brand.

The VSF has a much more reasonable price (358$) and it looks genlike.

You want to go diving, you want a reliable and precise movement, you want customer service and warranty - go gen.
You want a good looking watch at less than 1/10th the price - go VSF.

Here's mine

Is this a rep or gen?

Just got the GMT with orange numerals and is awesome! But if they get out with the black/white dial I'll get it ASAP!!

Just want to report after owning the 42mm CrPO for 8 months. It has been running flawlessly on a winder. I can't accurately tell you how many seconds i have gained or lost, but I'm still holding close within seconds to the initial setting from my phone clock.

Here you can see the endlinks behaviour on gen is the same as the rep, and guess what? He has a small wrist in this pic;)
I think it's now clear that it's not a flaw and a istant tell.

And that pearl is off-center. My V6F has it better ;)

Guys I need your help. May you confirm that two half links are longer than a single half link?

This is a rule for gen bracelets.
Never actually checked it for VSF, will do tomorrow, off to bed now.

Thanks mate, any idea of where I can source a half link 18mm without overpaying it?

Correct mate, my VSF link is approx. 5.4mm, while a half-link is approx 3.2mm.

I measured the links installed in the bracelet, so the may be an error +/- 0.1mm.
