I will post some pics when I am back in town (Tuesday). Don’t have access to my watch at the moment. AT gmt was 40mm with my calipers (could be off, AliExpress purchase). I will also measure my gen Seamaster 300m ceramic with it for reference.

Ali express????!!!!??? Serious? That explains it. That's a crappy rep. It's no VSF.
Yup, I see the confusion. Calipers are aliexpress. Not the watch.

Touche. But it can't be that much off unless the rep itself isn't 43mm. Funny how other owners of it haven't measured it and posted here showing its measurements. Don't have to use fancy calipers. A ruler will do too just to get a rough idea of the size.

I watched the VSF video on Chinese youku recently. It is measured as 43mm by caliper.

Interesting. That means it is indeed 43mm. And that fellas caliper from Ali express is crap.
When in doubt, just use a ruler.

Pretty sure it’s 43
Thanks for uploading. Is it yours? Could you please check if the side surface of the mid links also plated by gold color?
Of course, the gen’s mid link is solid gold, therefore the side surfaces of the mid links are gold. I confirmed by in person at an Omega boutique.
However, I have noticed that this VSF AT GMT rose gold model’s mid links have a problem, after observation of the many pictures.
The problems is that, there is no gold plated on the each side surface of the gold mid links. I am not sure it is actually common thing for gold plated rep watches. Because of this, it is very easy to know it is a rep.
The rep’s gold plated mid links show the steel color on the each side (left and right).
can anyone comment about this?

I looked at the watch and I couldn’t see the color of the sides of the mid links. I had to go to the link I removed to see the side.
it was stainless.
i don’t think it’s an obvious tell .

it is so strange that they plate the front and back of the mid-links but do not plate the sides...I am assuming the mid-links are plated separately and then the bracelet is assembled so would it be that hard to do it right?!?
Interesting topic.... I watched few Chinese reviews, and 3 of them mentioned it's 41.5mm and hence does not match the GEN spec.

Just look at johnlogan post above, #153, I think that should put an end to this discussion of not being gen spec case size on this VSF release.
