Whoever says that the pearl and markers are like gen has simply not seen the gen in person. I have seen them side by side. The Pearl and lume markers on the gen are same as the titanium Pam305 model, much different than VSF v.2 382. There was an older version by ZF if I remember correctly where the markers and pearl were closer to gen, but overall this rep was not that good.

Have a nice day everyone!

Aging of the case progress also has nothing to do with gen. Gen takes much more time to darken than VSF v.2

puretime , Angus, both the 389/1389 and 382 are best seller.
Could you ask VSF when (because i'm pretty sure they will do it) they will release the Brown Bronzo which is coming ?

At the beginning i was not sure, even sceptical, but i had the exact same color and patina than an gen Helson CuSn8 watch. So for me the VSF v2 use the right kind of material.

Well the argument for or against could be made either way. There is no side by side comparison picture of the rep and the gen. It does not matter how hard you try to argue the point, if the two watches are not side by side, any conclusion, matches or does not match, cannot be derived from it.

These look really good :cool: As I'm looking for a bronze watch for a long time, this could be the perfect find!
