Can new VSF 312 date wheel be exchanged with ZF or JF 312?

I received VSF 312 yesterday. Overall, it is high quality.
One thing is that date font color is a little bit dark.
So I looking for date wheel JF or ZF,
but before that, is that possible ZF or JF date wheel replace to VSF?

Please let me know if someone know that.

I have the VSF 312 as well. As far as I was led to believe the date wheel should be the same as the printed txt on the face.

This pic doesn't do it justice. But I would say it's the same on the one I have.

If you look closely, the date font and the dial letters color are little bit different.

Or is just mine strange?

Might just be that the font is bolder on the date. Not enough to bother about imo. Depends how you feel about your watch.

On Gen, the colors on DW and Dial are of slight different tone. DW is a bit yellowish.

VSF 312 DW is tad too brown, seems closer to their 441

We don't normally use the website images as they are digitally composed, sometimes with wrong features to throw off replica factories. A better comparison would be with a gen in the wild.

If that's the case, some photos demonstrating what you speak of would be great. :)

I did not compare directly with GEN, but overall quality and movement are feels good, recommend if you are not very sensitive to font color.
