124060 Comparison: Gen / Clean / VSF
- Thread starter diamonds
- Start date
Thanks for this comparison!Regarding the differences in "uptick" - my understanding is, that especially the VSF-version has a different curvature in crown guard profile than Gen and Clean. See below based on @diamonds awesome reference photos:
I exaggerated the lines a little for the sake of demonstration. You can see that VSF's CGs are leaning slightly towards a pagoda-shape, whilst the other crown guards rather remain diagonal.

What I noticed in real life what you don't see on pics:
GEN has much more better polishing on the Bezel than Clean or VSF.
The platinum on the Numbers is also much better.

Great post.
Side quest: anyone had their hands on both a 124060 (VSF and/or Clean) and a 126600 SD-43 (VSF and or Clean) side-by-side? What i'd like to know is if the 124060 is a much better rep and closer to gen vs the 126600 that the same factories are putting out? I've read many posts of the 126600 any some seem unflattered by the bezel - where as with the 124060 the general consensus is that the bezels on both the VSF and Clean are near spot on.
I was thinking to get a 126600 SD-43, but based on this post (and my want to get as close to gen out of the box) I'm now leaning towards a VSF 124060 if it's a significantly better rep than the SD.
Shame about the VSF bracelet but I've read in other posts the ZF bracelet is the one to get so maybe I'll order that standalone and match it with the VSF 124060.
If anyone has thoughts/ intel much appreciated.

I'm asking a few TDs at the moment. Will revert back if I find one able to sell it

Regarding the bracelet size, most replicas, including VSF and Clean, follow the gen’s 21mm lug width specification. However, slight variances can occur depending on the factory, so it's worth measuring or checking with the specific factory details if you're aiming for a perfect match.
As for the directional differences in crown guard curvature, @diamonds’ photos provide a great visual reference, but it’s also a reminder that these subtle variances, while noticeable in comparison shots, may not stand out in daily wear. If you’re exploring upgrades like matching a ZF bracelet with a VSF model, that seems to be a popular route for many to refine the overall aesthetic and fit.
