The helium valve at Clean is not really successful - see photos in comparison to gen.
For me, there is no better version than the current VSF. Including the really excellent movement.

I used to own a gen 16600
for me, a Sea Dweller shouldn't come with cyclops, which made it different from Submariner, Yacht-Master, GMTII etc.

I've had the VSF for just over a week - and after various ARFs from the first hour, Noobs, VSF pre-raid and Cleans, I have to say - the VSF Sea Dweller is one of the best reps I've ever seen.
Everything feels right, the glass is excellent including the magnifying glass and there are hardly any mirror effects. The bezel turns like a gen and sounds like one too. The movement runs in 8 days with a total of -5 seconds - and I am left-handed and also wear the watch on the left. Even gens go to their knees, with deviations on the edge or even above the COSC values.
I very rarely say something like that - but I'm really impressed.
I am surprised that there is no separate topic for VSF Sea Dweller 122600.

Can you take a pic of the dial in bright sunlight? Should become a nice Matt tropical colour.
There was a thread on the XF/VSF - it didn’t gain much traction as it’s not a very popular watch, and it was thread crapped by a member called seadwellermike who spouted a load of utter bilge about ARF being better. He’s been banned now…
I quite like it - it has a lot of wrist presence without being gross.

Die Kritik an der VSF kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Hier ein paar Fotos - eben bei praller Sonne aufgenommen. Auch die Bandanstöße finde ich hervorragend. Aber gut - es ist die neuste Serie von VSF. Die erste Serie kenne ich nicht.

Thanks Steve. I agree with your assessment of it - that looks really, really good.

Thank you!
In the last picture in the blazing sun, you can see the difference in color between the dial and the bezel inlay. In normal light / artificial light, both look the same black and you can't see any difference.

The movement is amazing - approx. 0.7 - 1.3 seconds overrun. And as already mentioned - I am left-handed and wear the watch on the left. It gets a lot more movement than a right-handed person, who usually wears the watch on the left.
The bezel is quite light - so also like gen. There are enough people who complain that their gen is a little too easy to adjust. The sound of the bezel is excellent.
I have to say, I can't find a single point that would dissuade me from giving the - latest - VSF 126600 a top rating.
