Because this topic was discussed a few times over the forum and I got PMs. The VSF is definitely too white in some light conditions - can't unsee that once you notice. Here are three shots for comparison. First is my VSF's QC picture, the second is a gen, the third is my modded bezel with whitegold plating.

Haven't seen many comments on the white gold plating. What's the quality of that like? Does it come out nicely, or dead giveaway?

Great review, your photos are making me want to buy a watch I don't even like. At all :)

Who did the plating job on the bezel? I wonder if they could do the entire Noob Daytona 116519 case....

Managed to get a DJ41 VSF from a trusted dealer after taking off the plastic protection on the strap a piece fell off luckily I didn’t wear it and it happened.

Noticed they have used the wrong knurled pins to put it together maybe I just had the odd one with that fault but I think it’s something that should be looked into if buying a DJ with a jubilee bracelet.

here’s some pics:

Welcome to the club, I hate the BLNR/BLRO GMTs with Jubilees. Looks awesome on the Datejust though, I'd definitely go for it if you'll only get one. Only chose the Oyster for this one as I already have the ARF on Jubilee.

Once again, great review from YellowFin and amazing pics ! Quick question: do you have a view on the jubilee bracelet of VSF ? I agree with you, if you go for only one DJ, it has to be jubilee but I was wondering whether the oyster would maybe be a safer option in terms of built quality.. happy to have your views on that !

I ordered a spare VSF Jubilee from Sead. Should arrive in the next two weeks, I'll post an update once it's here.

Also took a few shots of my Rhodium VSF dial to see if there's any dents around the markers. Can't see a thing, it's probably a QC issue depending on the guy setting on the markers in the factory.

Tried to catch it in the right light this is the best that I can show you what I mean it’s worse in person.

Anyone got where the markers are it looks like they’ve been placed too hard on and in certain light can see like a indentation around them on the dial. Just have to catch in the right light and angle. I can’t catch them with camera
