Gen, VSF, Clean, GM and AR, 41mm blue datejust detailed comparison

[spaceman007]

interesting, I need to read this closely but i have a gen and a VSF and the GEN dial is slightly lighter than the VSF. Otherwise I cant tell any difference except the weight. White gold to me looks the same as SS.

Out of the box, would you suggest clean or arf?

You have detailed pros and cons for all of them in the 1st post of this thread, it's up to you to decide which one is the best for you. No one can make that decision for you

If you grab a VSF, you can easily skip the plating imo

I think the same could be said for the clean, I thought the color was just a hint better actually.

I disagree, based on these pictures, the Clean seems to really have much better "yellow tinge" on the bezel.

i still prefer my plated bezel. heres a picture to compare the Plated bezel on my DJ41, and the VSF stock bezel(removed)

Agree! Looks great, did you buy it plated or got it plated afterwards?

thanks so much for the detailed comparison! The date wheel comparison pics alone are 155 pics, lolz!

I bought the bezel plated as it is

How does the JDF size up to this crew? Same one (blue DJ41, Jub, Fluted, etc. Is the GMF the JDF? I have a JDF close at hand, and while I rally like the Clean version based on this evaluation, is the JDF that different?

Thanks! Would you mind sharing the contact of the seller or where did you get it from?

I got it through my modder, unfortunately he is neither an internation dealer, let alone a TD on this platform...

Damn nice bezel and ya, I have both the vsf and clean side by side. The yellow tinge was far better on the clean so I installed the vsf guys with vsf crystal in the clean case, bezel

Great review. Is vsf still available. I thought they were shutdown.

VS did not close, the near future will be shipped, just compared to the previous interval has become longer!

There are rumors that Clean is now using VSF Xtals (or same supplier like VSF) - is this something you can comment on?

Thanks for the great review steve!

About to put in a Clean dial in my GMF DJ, the lume really is far superior on the Clean, and while I haven’t had it under the microscope yet, it just looks better, not sure why TbH.

How is everybody’s experience with the durability of the white gold plating?
And how does it look if it wears off and if the bezel scratches?
thanks everybody!

Love this thread.

Very informative.

Would really love to see something similar with the Day Date.
