Gen has a thicker crystal when including cyclops

So gen cyclops is taller and asth ethically has more of a bubble valence with the up glue

Just measured gasket thickness, vsf is .5mm thicker which makes me think the case it might be too loose to accommodated gen gasket :(

Vsf case doesn't take gen xtal? That would be a deal breaker!!

Waiting for my vsf to show up. Going to put gen 116610 dial, gen hands, gen DW, gen 116619 insert, gen bracelet, gen crystal and will see how far I can take the vs3135 with gen movement parts.

Great review. ZZF does have the edge on quality over vsf. It’s just a shame it doesn’t have the lovely vsf cg’s. Thx.

Most gen do NOT face upward actually. Only PM skydweller i believe.

Indeed, it’s a myth about the crown. I’ve had many gen subs through my hands and never had one do that!

Gen crystal makes a big difference. Vsf has a good black hole but the crystal overall is still not good enough once you see the difference.

Sir, this is a most excellent review. Great reading and thanks for your work on it

Good to hear about the case inscriptions too. Seems this is seldom analysed, perhaps it's not even a consideration for many owners ( out of sight .. out of mind )... but it's important to me and can be a huge tell even on the best of reps.

Thanks again.

Agreed, with vsf have a nearly perfect base for a franken,
I often wear my watch on nato band and It’s a shame to see this poor engraving

What you eyeballing there bud, crystal height, sel, insert? :D

There’s a noticeable gap between the SEL and the first link.

I know people have become huge fans of the VSF, but after handling both of these watches for a few days, it doesn’t feel nearly as solid as the ZZF V3.
