This VSF will never pass as GEN. Weight is off. Bracelet feel cheap but insert looks great.
Power reserve is 51,3 hrs not 72.

Yep, if the bus driver takes it off your wrist and carries his kitchen scale around, you're screwed. ;)

You might want to see a watchmaker though, the VSF 3235 clone actually achieves the advertised 70 hours or more if everything's OK.

Thanks for sharing.

Does this watch have the same number of links as a gen? 134 would be spot on with one link removed

The weight doesn't look that bad. A gen with an oyster is 141g. With a Jubilee its like 130g (I'll look for pics because I had pics of both gens on a scale from a year or two ago).

Aldo there have been a few discussions pop up where it's discussed that the 3235 has to be wound like 2x as much as a 3135 to achieve full power. Once wound fully it will holding its reserve up to 65ish hours. According to some members.

I'll test it myself though now that we have had this discussion.

Also what insert? Do you mean just the fluted bezel?

Yes, fluted bezel. I was typing on the fly. The fluted bezel looks great, bracelet looks good but have a budget feel.

My mark i black dial finally arrived. Sadly by the time i finished taking all the plastic stickers (took me like one hour lol) sun was already gone. Will take some proper shots with my camera tomorrow. My first impression are, bracelet feels amazing no sharp edges at all. Clasp action also really good. Weight feels spot on to the gen datejust i have had. Black dial has indeed sunburst as per gen. Nice sel fitment, movement winds like butter. I attached a picture with my vsf sub with gen xtal, Vsf xtal is 90% like gen. Flutted bezel really good, picture dont really do justice to it imo. Dont care much about the rehaut but in my watch at least everything looks good, also dw looks exactly like the gen dw oj my vsf sub. Will come back tomorrow once i examine it more in depth.

Bracelet is amazing or it's cheap with a budget feel? Weight is spot on or far off?



Jay.. how does the bracelet and the watch overall feel when compared to the VSF116610 we both have?

​​​​​​Bracelet is the same quality as the 116xxx, no sharp edges and the bracelet feels amazing on the wrist. As you said before doesn't feel like a rep. the overall quality of the watch it's fantastic and an upgrade in every sense to the arf (that's my take until now) as kwatches said the quality of the hands is really good and i would dare to say they are better finished than the 116xxx. As for the dial, they nailed it, its just fantastic. Will upload more pictures tomorrow.

Any word on if VSF is closing early? I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these, but don't want to be in limbo for over a month if I order this week.

looks great!!!! Would you say stock vsf crystal on Sub is as good as on this DJ?

My vsf sub has gen xtal, comparing the vsf to gen. Gen has a nicer cyclop edge profile and black hole is also better. I would say vsf xtal is maybe 90% like gen. Stock vsf xtal is really good, for sure the best in the game. When i bought it i thought of going franken but now that i have it and can compare it to my franken sub, i will leave like that and use the money to get the rhodium lol.

They closed already, if you check previous pages i posted the list of the models that were still in stock and the ones sold out. Pretty sure you can only order the white and blue dial but your td might have some others in stock.

Apologies, I read the thread title too quickly, I thought this was the 126610 thread! I'll talk to my TDs and see what the options are.
