Honestly, that's what i thought mate ! But i didn't know both RXF and VSF shared the same clasp code !

The watch is awesome, but believe me, that bracelet feels so cheap...look forward to change it for a ARF ;)
Yes they share some parts. They are like a co/op factory or one in the same as far as i know. I didnt think the bracelet was so bad honestly. I dont have any arf ones to compare it to but i do have a few gen.

I just put mine on this rubber strap for a change, see how long it lasts before i switch it back over.

This only comes with the Asia 2824-2 movement, right?

I read that rotor/movement is very rattly and noisy, can any RXF owners weigh in on this?

Mine's nice and quiet. It's a simple fix if it's noisy anyway.

My watch is quite noisy. What solution is there to solve?

A tiny drop of something on the rotor bearings (Molykote DX Paste remains my favourite). There are forum tutorials on how to silence a rotor.

Is the shot of the date window on the rxf 2824 quick? Does it take place between 11:55 pm and midnight or does it take longer?

Just back from Ado213 after he fitted a prof Xtal and a gen ETA 2824

Considering the ETA 2824 too. Did you supply yourself - I'm wondering if it is a straight swap or any additional parts? Recall seeing something about pinion heights that could be different between movements.

It’s a straight swap. Clone 2824 for an ETA 2824. Same movement, it’s just that one is a cheap copy and the other is genuine. The Chinese 2824 crapped out on me so I went for an ETA.

Not sure if it's just the magnification, but that Prof crystal looks really off.

Not sure what you mean by ‘off’ ?

The one issue I had with the original RXF was that the cyclops was not in the correct position. I rotated the crystal but couldn’t get it sat correctly over the date window and I wasn’t going to spend crazy money on a gen.
