VS crystal is sooo nice. But I still stand by getting Clean and the HEV valve. But a gen crystal or VSF crystal is definitely on the list.

Yeah, VSF looks great and has the new Clean Factory bezel insert as well. But I dont see a difference between the VSF and Clean Crystal, they both have the ghosting on the dial and very lightly clouded cyclopes.

I think it comes down to HEV valve and SELs at this point.

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.
How about its weight, could you please tell it to us? I am eager to but one and I am between the latest CF and VSF. Is there any other feedback/thoughts you would like to share with your humble friend? :) Thank you!

With all links and the dive extension: 193 gramm (VSF).

After a few weeks of wearing it - the watch is still running about 1 second per day - very stable. Everything works as it should. I would still buy this model from VSF - despite some clean watches.

The VSF watches I have all run perfectly with the 3135 or 3235.

Maybe anybody else has recent pictures from Clean/VSF? I think the most important thing now is SELs, so would like to see more watches for comparison. As far as I know VSF's movement is better and the question for me is how much better when compared with CF?

Can you comment on HEV a bit more? I thought that most watches have very small WR (even below 50M usually), so now sure what is the use of HEV in this case. Do you mean that it's now like printed? What is it on VSF then?

Sel is qc issue between both, not a factory difference

VS vs VR movement, VS is superior but spec wise they're the same. Replica movement is replica movement you have a chance of getting a lemon. My eyes replica movement is so overblown.

VS3235 also has hidden points of weakness such as double date skipping and winding issue, that's what VS fanboys will skip out on telling you.

You misunderstand. Clean has a geniune HEV construction. Fully functioning with proper gaskets. First replica ever in the game to make one. VSF has fake HEV.

Ok it's a feature that most people will never use. And of course noone can test it because there are less than 3000 saturation divers in the world.

If you want to know what HEV does use google - there are a million videos explaining it better than me.

But if you talk to me about which factory has made the best replication, how can we ignore HEV? Clean has made a geninune HEV valve.

Basically if you care or dont care about this replication determines which model you should get.

He thinks the HEV is the printed words on the rehaut of Deepsea...

Nice joke. I understand what HEV is and what is this is for, was just not sure what it is on VSF since only Clean has it functioning. I mean on VSF it could be printed (not words), like laser engraved shapes in place where a real HEV should be

VSF HEV is not printed on. It is a seperate part that installs in the the side hole. It looks like real thing but will not function.
