Got some QC pictures from Tony down at Asian7750. Rejected the watch cos there were obviously some scratches on the bezel and the dial didn’t look aligned with the bezel. He told me he told the factory but they rejected my opinions and said it was perfect. Tony then told me he can’t do shit and said asked me to get WU to refund me the money i wired over.. that kinda sucks..

Does the dial look off-centre? Or is it because the watch isn’t completely straight when the photo was taken?
What do you guys think? Very tempted to say yes to this piece. Waited long enough already!
This is the best most accurate rep VSF make. Love mine.

Lovely piece mate.
Have you tried it on NATO yet?
It takes it to another level

Sweet. I gave Tony the green light. I hope with all the cancelled flights worldwide, the watch doesn’t take too long to arrive. It’s probably gonna be my daily wear once it’s here!
got my hands on one
unfortunately didnt catch the minor misaligned bezel insert with respect to the bezel scallop peaks

I haven’t buddy no. Mine didn’t come with nato but I’m going to swap to a gen rubber shortly. It’s a bit softer than rep. Just fitted a Swiss movement too now runnnig at +/- 1 sel a day!
Just need to straighten the twelve markers now.

Interested in this model but my wrist is so small (6”inch). Do you guys think I can wear it with the last hole of strap, or do I need XS strap.

Yeah nope.. personally i think this watch goes perfectly well with the rubber strap. It’s got strong presence and the thin natos just make the proportions wrong/lopsided. But that’s just me.
Can’t wait for mine to arrive. Fingers crossed the covid-19 situation doesn’t affect the shipping too much..

I have the gen and wasn't a big fan of the rubber either. It is a great match for the 21mm Speedmaster straps though, and I have the GSOTM leather and the DSOTM cordura. The "pitch black" calf strap is on the way, which will probably be my favorite of the three.
That strap is insane! WOW! Very nice, bud!
I added the curved spring bars. The straight spring bars come standard but they won't fit with a bolstered strap.
I assume you have to get a deployant clasp too as all the straps I’ve seen are that way!
Correct. There are some aftermarket black PVD / DLC clasps out there that work well enough if you want to go that route, but I ended up buying the real thing once I found a decent deal on one. I don't know what the quality is of the clasps you would get from a rep dealer. I do believe you can buy them separately if you ask, though.
