did you ever have issues with the thread stripping on yours? i’ve only seen the one person on this thread mention that issue so i’m not sure if it’s something i should be concerned about. how often did you screw your crown?
Does anyone know the correct spring bars i would need for this? I just got one and the bracelet seems very rattley at the end links, like the spring bar isn’t quite think enough to put tension on the end link and case.
No. The crown and threads was good and I had no issues with anything. The VSF PO 39,5mm is a great replica.
I recently picked up a 39.6 VSF PO and highly impressed by the watch. Sits slimmer on the wrist than I was expecting given it's 14.2mm. Fit and finish is excellent, as you'd expect from VSF. Bracelet is comfortable and all over just a superb rep. It does have some heft though, but that just adds to the quality feel.
Does the VSF PO 39.5mm have 'female' end links to allow the bracelet to seamlessly flow on the smaller wrists?
I got one of these for my partner recently, she has no issues with it at all and there is plenty of flexibility in the bracelet links. She wears it with only one of the removable links left in the bracelet so almost as small as it can go and it's perfectly fine.
I would say this watch is a really good size for a female, as some have said it does wear smaller than the published thickness suggests, she described it as a perfect size!
Quality wise you won't go wrong with the VSF either, I have the Deep Black and she has the 39.5 in full stainless with black face, I was over the moon with mine until hers arrived, the LM printed bezel is so much nicer than the engraved ones and the stainless case looks fantastic.
Reviving this lovely thread.
Anyone got a side by side comparison of the VSF Planet Ocean 39.5mm vs Gen?
Would love to see the obvious orange and bezel insert flaws mentioned previously.
Cheers

There was a post on reddit a couple years ago comparing the two. I remember since it was the reason why I ended up ordering it.
Realistically no one will be able to spot those flaws. Only way anyone would know is if you post a high res photo of your watch and some nerd that read and memorized this thread came across your pic lol.
I picked one of these up over Christmas to replace a VSF sub I sold (too flashy these days!) And I must say I am blown away with the quality and feel of this watch! It's incredibly comfortable and versatile, finding a leather strap was a challenge however!
and don't forget that each person perceives color slightly differently, plus on digital it depends on the screen
so apart from a side by side in hand, plus someone really rude, can't see a call out happening
