I’ve found many times they can’t always see it. Frustrating for them and for you.

Noob has the “timebomb” now VSF has the “grenade”? Do you think it’s in design or just a bad batch of gears? Looking for a vsf, however feeling better with the VR movement.

I think you're definitely blowing things of proportion to compare it to noob time bomb lol, no matter what the movement is, every few thousands of watch there will always gonna be ones with problems. Leaving this problem aside, I would take personally a vsf over a vr movement everyday, smoothness and best 3135 movement on the market imo. Also considering you can install a Gen balance Bridge and wheel without mods is a plus imo.

That’s your opinion, still a weak point.

What exactly makes it “the best” 3135 movement on market? Surely reliability is a determining factor in that.

That’s not wonderful news. Do you think a drop of Mobius would free that up?

I'm no tinkerer so I'm the wrong person to ask. Oascom suggested a bit of lube in the thread I linked, but beyond that, I'm not sure I'm afraid. I've found that simply turning the watch sideways, ie crown up, and therefore letting gravity help the arm return to the right place does the trick, so with a bit of oil too, I suspect that will sort the problem out.

I subscribed to your thread but keep us updated if applying oil help with problem

Subscribed that that thread. It looks like a minor thing easily fixed. At worst it's just giving it a little shake.

I'm hoping Oascom (or someone who knows a bit more than Popadoodle) will reply with 'where to oil' advice. If not I'll ask Rolie, but I try not to bother him if I can help it - I think my constant stream of ridiculous questions must get annoying!

They were the same bracelet from what i understand. I have an early RXF and its all metal. No plastic slide tabs.

Hi Guys,

I was out of town so I could not do the pictures earlier. Here is the two bracelets, LN and LV. Someone told me that some gens come with plastic so it is not a big deal.

The crowns a slightly different and so is the engraving, probably not the best pictures to show the difference but I feel the LV looks rougher. At the end of the day I am loving the Hulk, I just wanted to point out that VSF for some reason did not use the same bracelet for both models (At least not on the samples I have). The LV clicks a bit stronger than the LN and it feels a bit harder to take off... once again I have never held a gen so I don't know which one is more gen like between the two.

Finally, both watches feel of high quality. I am a noob, so please take that in consideration.

Wow, there's a lot of differences there, clearly two different clasps. Thanks for sharing.

I thought all new reps came with the nylon shoes on the glide lock now. Didn't it get covered when the ZZFv2 came out?
I got confused when someone in another thread mentioned plastic "clasp" but I guess this is what they meant.

The bracelet on my LV is better than my ARF LN v1 so if the VSF LN is better still that's quite something.
