Winding it by shaking, I do understand.
But setting the time by "shake, rattle and roll", without unscrewing the crown, is something I have to admit I haven't figured out yet.

Haha it's probably doable but only twice a day! Start shaking, rattling and rolling a minute or two before the time the watch starts and you should be goodWinding it by shaking, I do understand.

Well, it should be doable around the clock though (no pun intended).Haha it's probably doable but only twice a day! Start shaking, rattling and rolling a minute or two before the time the watch starts and you should be good
I have a v4 VSF, i feel that the winding sound is abit noisy and the lume is weak. Overall I still enjoy this watch since I brought it a year ago

Even if they do, their hands won't fit the VSF NTTD.
The best solution perhaps is a relume job for the hands, but guess it is hard to get the correct colour matching with the markers' lume

My next rep. I hope it doesn't disappoint. Although I know about the flaws, the excitement can get to one.

It’s a good rep. I just got mine today, it’s fine. 90% there.
Here’s what I noticed and what others have said in this thread too:
1. The hands suck. The lume is pinkish on the seconds hand and the hours hand.
2. The crown action is sketchy as hell, the worst I’ve ever experienced from VSF.
Overall though, it’s nice. Rotor a bit loud, somewhat solved with some thick oil (moebius). The lume is not a perfect solid color like the gen, it has slight black discoloration. Perhaps you could get a better lume job if you qcd it, but most sellers would hate you if you RL over something this minor.
None of the issues would be noticeable for someone looking at it on your wrist. Overall, if you like the NTTD, this is a good rep.

Agree as I’ve hade a few v4 models.
I just picked up a V2 and can comment on:
No pink lume issue
Crown action is perfect, night and day compared to the V4
Rotor not as noisy as the V4, I still might have it silenced though I’ll give it a few days to see if it is worth it.
WTF your lume looks way better in general. Are there any case/dial differences between the v2 and the v4? I know the movement has a black balance wheel, and they fixed some things on the bracelet.Agree as I’ve hade a few v4 models.

Do you still have the v4? A side by side might be interesting to see the differences between v2, v3, v4. Is it really just the bracelet and balance wheel?Agree as I’ve hade a few v4 models.

Not sure about the movement as have not open it but it’s a closed caseback and is quieter than v4 I had, crown is not wobbly either.
Bracelet is ss on both v2 and v4 but supposed to be Ti so wouldn‘t use them.
