Forget about VSF... I wonder what are the chances OMF or MKS has to make this model and maybe be better than VSF's effort. They probably already have one in the works....

Yeah. If other makers are onto this, don't be surprised if we see another one, hopefully in titanium within the next month or so... Fingers crossed.
Gen dial and bezel color
the lines on the side of the case is also much sharper than on the SS case

If you like the watch for what it is, you might as well go for it. But don't delude yourself, honestly, the whole watch is off by a mile. I have the ceramic SMP 43mm and compared to gen, it's identical. Very disappointed in this release. Will wait for V2 or maybe V3 even.
Greenlit mine this morning. Such a pretty watch. I do love the look of the mesh but I'm disappointed in their offering, though I've been looking into Staib mesh bracelets and might either grab one of those to throw on it as it seems to be much higher quality, or will just wait for v2 and buy the bracelet if and when they update it with something more accurate. I do recognize that an original mesh bracelet, in titanium, with that similar weave pattern, with an accurate deployant clasp, with a brushed finish all around, is a tall order. Happy to give them time to figure it out.

I'd never expect such a poor effort from VSF... Releasing this crap job after building their reputation for such a long time...oh my.. But I guess there are enough poor souls out there that don't know any better. I hope this watch is not an indicator for their future releases..
This all can most likely be blamed on this virus. Most factories are probably behind and need to do everything to start recovering financially. These guys have been without income for a while. Let them bounce back first. Maybe even support them by buying this watch if you can live with the flaws. Make no mistake, VSF WILL get this watch right eventually.
Having handled the gen, the dial and bezel looks almost black in normal lighting, but will pop into brown if under bright light...
So rep is accurate?

Not really. Unless the brown on the rep pops like that under the light which I've yet to see. The rep is also lacking the brown, textured effect the gen has as you can see in that pic of the gen.

Stainless strap and crappy bracelet. I will wait for the v2. 428$ for this fantasy VSF in wrong metal is really too expensive imho.
