Qc accepted, these are for your viewing pleasure
only. Old noob subs now irrelevant? I imagine vsf 116610LN and Hulk may someday see a youth edition. Why not? There's obviously plenty of folks who prefer 28xx, me especially. I also think the VS clone movement factory will be raided or disrupted before we ever see prices come down or parts become widely available. This, imo, as a capable hobby watchmaker makes a cheap 28xx model way more of a nobrainer. I can get a nice A2824 for $70 on the bay from a US seller in less than 5 days and have my watch back up and running in 30 mins or less. But A2824 lasts forevs in most cases anyway.
I am curious how VSF applies the numerals on their inserts, do they ever fade like the noobs did? I haven't seen anything on that front. DWO are a pain to glue up sometimes, but a small price to pay for a $250 watch that is so close to the real deal, that the biggest "tell" is the anti-clockwise crown movement to advance the hands, who cares...
Now...what can I sell to get the blue one?
