Just got mine today, I got mine from Andrew at Trustytime I am very happy with it. The movement is an ETA clone with decorations.
Everything lines up great lume is great on mine. Bezel has some play may try something to tighten that up if it bothers me too much. I had planned on using NATO strap but the metal one is first metal one I have ever liked on a watch. I included some pictures let me know if you guys want any detail shots.
One other small thing I have noticed if you wear bracelet at setting 4 like I do, when taking it off the latch catches on the end of the bracelet and it becomes hard to open. I've included a picture.

Those pictures came out awesome. Can't wait to see what it looks like on a nice camera. Mine look amazing to my eyes but feel like my phone can't do it justice.

Hello and thanks
but what kind of basic movement is it then?
ETAXXXX? Will you help me understand the movement pattern? Thank you
Reading further back in the thread it is ETA 2824 like you said, wasn't sure during last post so I wanted to verify.
According to another user:
If someone also wants to put an eta in, its more ore less a direct swap.
BUT the ETA Hour Wheel/Minute Wheel wont fit for the Hands! Also the VSF stem will NOT fit in the ETA clutch as its thicker.
He solved this by using the VSF hour minute wheel which he says were good quality. I am considering doing a swap myself but not sure how difficult it is.
Do you just remove the movement and a single set of wheels or does it involve tearing down the entire movement.

I was able to get Contact to the Factory producing the Crystal VSF is using. They can do a single AR coated Crystal. I ordered one to see how quality and AR is. Will update when i get it
Awesome, This is the way the watch should come standard. If you could contact the factory that makes the crown and tube I'm sure people could use that part as well.

yes, i think the single AR would be perfect for it. I can check for it
you mean for upgrading older Versions?
Does it not already come with that?
At least the description on the V4 sounds like it: [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]FRONT GLASS: Sapphire Crystal with AR Coat (Swiss Grade)[/FONT]
I am by no means knowledgeable about that but seems unlikely, maybe towards the end of the year when movie launches if they decide to make the investment. I wonder what the changes would be. If just the bracelet it would be a no go for me.

Well in reality its Milky/cloudy...and thats the reason other members got a Prof Xtal for it. The Crystal i get is another Crystal with another coating.
Ah okay that makes sense, need to work on my reading comprehension I understood it as they would be using same as what they had been and it didn't make sense. I agree about the cloudiness, a Prof crystal is in the plans for me. But if the factory can fix the crystal in the future that would be great for everyone else. Can't wait to see it!

Nope, the original watch will only be released in June. Would be nice to see VSF replicate this beauty!!
Just this morning, my watch started rattling. There's something rattling around loose inside of it! It appears to still be running, but certainly this can't be okay. I've attempted to contact Andrew at trusty time but haven't heard back from anyone yet. Anyone have any ideas?
