I asked for the wrapped version, factory told Eric there is no such thing... so not sure, but it looks promising. This might be the entry or expensive version.

Wait a moment.. wtf??

..that's not right, there should be no gold under the flip.

I wonder wtf is going on then.. some dealers are saying there is a wrapped special order version.

Interesting because big td's like trusty have the expensive version and also all the big seller i know in China are promoting that version and alsl on vsf product releases states that there are 2 versions. Wonder if smaller dealers like geektime don't want to source them cuz maybe the profit is not so big. We will find out when someone orders the expensive version

When you look under the flip, the only gold you should see is the tail end of the Rolex crown logo. It may well have been updated at some point, if so then VSF is ok.. however, the gen I has was not like that.

Expensive version is available for pre order so far i know for both versions
I was told by Li that it is special order... Or made to order as someone in this thread advised.

He said it takes about 20 to 30 days to get the wrapped version.

Yeah that's the information i got from a big seller from vsf. Price is China is the about the same that from tds about 4500 Yen which comes around 700 usd so not that big of profit for them compared to the profit they made on other models. My contact told if you order today you will be expecting to get the watch in around 6 to 8 weeks considering the 2 to 3 weeks vsf are taking for vacation.

My gen had a thick strip of gold under the safety clasp like this one. Did they change this?

It looks like they just plated that area under the flip lock

Love how the finger covered the SEL. No way of telling is the sel sides are plated or not
