I tried to move a light around to get different angles. Light from above, lume, light from the right, from the top, from the left side.

Hi

Please can someone tell me the clasp codes of their VSF Smurf. Mine looks like below and I just want to be sure it is actually a VSF I will get.

Thanks

Technically, yes, it is 100% right. Yes, palladium WG can be polished to mirror like finish just as any metal can be in theory. Palladium is used to make the gold "whiter", however the use of palladium is the reason why a WG Rolex has a more yellow tinge to it as opposed to being rhodium plated/dipped WG.

This is all a very basic sense of the topic. Traditionally, white gold is/was yellow gold/nickel and is a dullish gray without being plated. Rhodium plating/dipping is what gives it the white sheen most of us know and was done because of the irritation/allergic reactions people have caused by the nickel.

Still don't believe that palladium is the reason for the yellowish tinge, even the opposite. On the rhodium plating i agree mate

That’s fine, you can believe whatever you want. You can also google it and very clearly see what I’m talking about. There’s multiple images on google that will show you exactly what I’m talking about as well.

palladium is absolutely silverish-white, not even a bit yellow in it, why should it make the gold yellowish ? please show me that images, I'd like to understand what you mean

100% correct. The reason for the yellow tint in white gold is that all gold is naturally yellow so the base is yellow.

Whats meh?
Maybe a little bit darker dial (there are also more "dirt/fingerprints" on the rep, which dulls the dial and crystal on the pictures), but bezel looks spot on. Of course its a difference between gold and steel....
