Full review of the VSF 8500 clone movement *Pic Heavy*

[santre22]

Do Miyota movements are compatible with VSF clones?

No sorry they are complete different.
The old V6F version used a decorated Miyota movement. The BP, Noob and MK use decorated a2824-2.

ultimate would be a noob case/bracelet with vsf bezel and movement but I'm not even sure those parts is compatible between versions.

Do you think noob case and bracelet are better than VSF?

Do you think noob case and bracelet are better than VSF?

Yes, more precise a mix of them.
Noob case but with VSF bezel and crystal installed and then all internals from VSF.
The noob bracelet is more solid in my opinion but just slightly better than VSF bracelet.

The hands would be best to change for genuine but they are quite hard to find. Rep vsf is still ok.

How do you think this compares to the earlier versions you had? If I remember correctly you had a gen CrPO also?

As for looks and feel its very nice/very close..Close enough to fool 99.95 of the fools out there, The AR is not as good as genuine and the hardness of the bracelet screws is not genuine. I will put them side by side when I get a chance

 

[Thrasher]

Just now looking at them side by side the thing that caught my eye is the shine/lustre..Genuine Bracelet is brighter for lack of a better word

My watch is currently also for a revision with my watchmaker and he also complains about the fact that oil is missing everywhere.

I have used my PO about 3 months now after I serviced it and I love it! When it's not on my wrist I have it in a winder as I use a few other watches on rotation but it have never stopped and now it's around a minute to fast so it's equals to +0.7sec/day and I measured a average of +0.6sec/day on the timegrapher right after the service was done. The VSF Omegas with super clones is a crazy amount of watch for the money and 150€ to service it is nothing as you get pretty much gen quality and performance for under 500€ in total.

Have you also worked on the A8906 movement and if yes what's your opinion of it?

all clone movements is the same base it's just engraving on rotor that is different. And on Gmt models they add the Gmt gears on top.

 

[Troklo]

Do the GMT gears affect the reliability of the movement? Thank you for the answer btw

Here are some pics made from my watchmaker while the revision. Everywhere is oil missing.

The clock is now running perfectly and she is very quit. However, the problem, why I sent her to my watchmaker could not be solved. My screwcrown can not be screwed in. I hope someone can help me

Looks like the keyless pictures you posted are from another movement. Have not seen anything like that in any VSF clone.

Be really careful with this watchmaker. The video on youtube shows great material and skills but i know he stollen a full franken Daytona ! He never sent back the franken Noob Daytona !

So i will give you the advice to find another one, or to do not send a big value watch to him unless you live near him and you can go directly to his shop :-/.

I know him really good and I know from a Franken Daytona which he made for months and he finished the watch two days ago and the customer got his watch.
