I was also about to pull the trigger on a VSF, but have paused to wait for the ORF. If many of you are doing the same thing, VSF won't be happy!

But ORF may not be able to deliver the volume we want. What do we know about the factory? I did a quick RWI search and found little about them outside this thread.

A lot of capital investment and expertise is required to make a watch of this apparent quality. I'm surprised a factory can come out of nowhere and hit the ground running like this. Or does it happen all the time?

Gods own country! Yorkshire.
Some Qc pics on Trusty even though it’s not for sale yet. I’m guessing he sold the samples he had. Looking better than VSF to me

The black looks good, but the white face still has the wrong red for the “Seamaster” script. Such a shame since they use the correct color on the black and blue dials. TBH the white dial version looks identical to VSF dial.
