I bought myself a Timegrapher and took my VSF 114060 under unscientific test, here are the results

PR after watch has sit 24 hours unused, results meh… :cool:

Sorry forgot to focus on the machine (did better on second part of test)

I broke the VSF insert and struggled to source a VSF replacement so went fo the East Factory. I can't notice any difference on the wrist between the 2. Using an eye loop the platinum paint does look a crisper on the East Factory. I would say a marginal improvement but perhaps not worth the cash.

Does anyone know or heard anything regarding if VSF is going to release a 124060 anytime soon?

Which model VSF are you using as a reference? thanks for the response!

I have a couple of VSF 126610s.
I acquired a genuine 3230 movement and ordered a CF 124060 just to get the dial so I could add the dial and gen movement to a vsf watch. Once I compared the cf and vsf side by side I could see no difference between them, so I put the gen movement into the CF. At that time they did have a crystal with a weird bevel that I changed, but in later models fixed that. It appears the cases, dials, and bezels all come from the same place as vsf.

CF is excellent. I see no difference in mine and VSF.

However it would be nice with a VS3230 movement instead of the VR if one doesn’t want to source a gen movement ;)
Even if the VR3230/VR3235 is convenient with sharing parts with 3135 movement

Hello folks
Looking for a no date vsf submariner
anyone know which TD has them in stock. Usually use Andrew at trusty but he doesn’t have. I know I’m going to get some heat for asking but I can’t find the info!
