Still wondering about the bezel insert. Same like V3 or did they update it with slightly thinner font?
who do you guys think is the best TD to go through for one of these, going to order the VSF 3.5
‘Hey mate, all our TD’s here are great. I’ve used many and each have delivered a great experience. You can check out the user reviews in the Trusted Dealers section on the forum but they’re all trusted for a reason so whoever you go with will be fine if you tell the exactly what watch/factory/version you’re after, they can all get it.
Just remember the key thing in the Rep world is patience.
Good Luck!
Couple of points:
- The clasp doesn't actually work too well with this mesh. I've found that it's tough to slide it through the clasp, and when you try to flip the locking piece into the hole, the mesh is actually a hair too thick, so it doesn't click and lock. So, when I open the clasp, it will unlock and sort of slide a couple of spots.
keisuke_z Just for consistency, has anyone else received a V3.5 and has issues like this member with the clasp not closing fully on the new bracelet, just for consistency of the product.
Actually the V3 bracelet also had a problem with opening clasp when you bend it. But in Arm wearing, it never opened up. Maybe same still with the new one?
Odd. I have no such problems with my V3 mesh. I've put it through all 7 holes just to give it a try and see if it pop opens or slide around as described when off and on the wrist, no such issues. The clasp stays secure when closed and the flap for the resizing bit stays closed even when handling off the wrist.
I've had nothing but praise for the V3 mesh since when I first got it. I would've mentioned such problems here immediately if I had faced such issues. Maybe its a variation thing, some are ok, while others aren't so lucky with theirs... Hmmm.

My v3.5 is in transit at the mo. Can you tell me if it safe to use the mesh bracelet? Will it stay closed?

Works really well, keeps the caseback properly aligned, and is waterproof.No where near naiadlock. Just a push and twist!!
It's the thickness of the new bracelet, which is noticeably thicker in profile closer to the watch than the previous mesh and tapers down towards the end. If he's wearing it high up on the bracelet where it's a few milimeters thicker, it would make a lot of sense that the clasp would have some trouble closing.
I have the same issue on the original v3 bracelet, I think it's just a quality control issue.
