I was at work which was why you guys had to wait haha

 

[Micolash]

Congrats mate, nice piece! I plan to buy one too, but haven't decided between the vsf or the zf yet.

Do you know any of the pros and cons between the two factories?

 

[leo6929]

Both factories are pretty on par quality wise, obviously with differences between them, they burden us with the task to decide which one to go for

 

[Micolash]

They are very similar, both very well done. There are differences, but they are minimal and it's hard to notice with the naked eye at wrist distance, you have to examine them closely to find them. The choice is almost a coin flip. For me, reading the comparisons and seeing the photos, I would say zf, but after having touched the quality of the vsf with other brands, I'm starting to change my mind

Here you can see an excellent detailed comparison on the blue version

Thanks for sharing. There's is definitely a noticeable difference in colors in that comparison. I wonder if it's the same for the black dial that I have. I think I'm gonna be hooked on this hobby for a while so I'm sure I'll get my hands on a zf one day. I'm waiting one 3 watches from dhgate right now. I'm really curious how they compare to this vsf.

Colors are a problem on almost all reps in general. Black is black, and obviously is much easier to replicate

Congrats! Nice VSF. Looks fantastic, wear it in good health!

Dhgate watches in the $70 to $120 range? For the price, some might actually look okay. But you should see a significant difference in visual accuracy and build quality when you put them side by side with your VSF!

How about some comparison shots when they arrive?

I recently got a snoopy speedmaster on Aliexpress for 25 bucks, just for laughs. Of course the watch is pure crap, you can't even compare it to a mid-range rep, but for the price I have to say that I expected much worse

Congrats on your Omega.
