124060 Comparison: Gen / Clean / VSF

[Reaps]

this review has been extremely helpful, but i havent seen much mention of the hour markers being super close to the min markers on CF 124060 compared to VSF 124060. im having a hard time choosing between the two: CF with better SEL tolerances + hour marker issue + softer CG vs VSF with slightly worse SEL + no hour marker issue + CG uptick

Think you are overthinking it bro.... it's all camera angles.. in these shots don't you think VSF has this issue?

VSF consistently has thicker/bigger black line compared to gen and cf in all the pics imo....the best combo would be vsf crystal and movement in a cf case with vsf clasp + cf bracelet haha

I used to be like you, chase perfection. But now after 2 years and 50 replicas, buy a VSF, enjoy it, don't worry about such things. There will always be things to be nitpicking about replicas. It is pretty much pointless to nitpick these details, I promise if you buy both VSF and CF and hold them in hand you'll shrug because they pretty much are the same.

This is coming from someone who had handled Clean and VSF 116x and 126x series.

What do you mean by thicker/bigger black line? You mean the metal ring of the hour markers?

Clean on left and VSF on right.
I kept the clean with the vsf clasp.
Crystal is starting to bug me but I can’t get confirmation if the Clean will accept the Gen or VSF crystal

These are supposed to be nearly identical, so why wouldn't they? Did you ever get confirmation?

thicker/blacker lines where the SEL meets the lugs. vsf consistently has a thicker lines compared to clean. after getting 4 qcs of vsf and clean 124060, i saw that clean has tighter tolerances
