Gen, VSF, Clean, GM and AR, 41mm blue datejust detailed comparison

[steve_theonewatches]

There are rumors that Clean is now using VSF Xtals (or same supplier like VSF) - is this something you can comment on?

Thanks for the great review steve!

This I can not be sure, I have to confirm with the factory, the follow-up answer I will reply to you. But sometimes the factories are in a hurry to assemble production, some parts have gaps in the case, will also acquire parts from other factories to respond, this situation exists!

thanks for checking. Last QC for CF Datejusts were stunning regarding Crystal.

Honestly only Movement VS still is better. Rest CF is even or better.

Just perfect thank you and really appreciate the hard work you put on this thread, i will be the happiest person if we have the same thread for submariner 116610

Dude, we're already working on the 126610 thread, should be able to make you happy too, haha, after all, it's in the same Submariner series!

That guy vsf crystal have much better cyclops than all others before i saw, zero distortion on this angle, number is fine and window is not distorted
still soft and jelly lugs compared to clean factory case

Hmm maybe thread sounds like that but who will on earth go for GM or even ARF before clean and vsf datejusts haha

Is this complete clean?
Did you change only crystal and dial? Or gasket too?

This is VSF with gen dial, gen crystal (and gen gasket). You could do the same with CF today, it would be at least as good.

ARF with gen crystal and DW.
Reliable watch for a lifetime.
Good hardware, easy to repair.
Best choice imo.

Wrong position of the stem-crown, not genlike movement-vs and vr are very stable also, you have many rep parts to swap if needed but no need in most cases…
wrong lug shape- cf kills the lugs -case shape..
i was thinking like you about eta clones but once i took rolex clones i have never regret, 4130 , 3135, 3235 all masterpieces

but why nobody talks about EWF factory? they are good as GM for my opinion

 

[sub21]
