New VSF Black on BLack

[Feefo]

Nevermind @Feefo , it's just something for nerds like myself

I just know the pedestrian version, SISO

Sure, there is an easy way. Just ask them and be specific about what you are looking for.

After I sent this, I realised it was a stupid question. Sorry! Thank you for your patience.

There might be ORF supply chain behind this factory: case & movement number is the one ORF used to adopt, and the poor finishing of the red writings on the movement is on ORF trademark as well LOL

I'm gonna quote myself: TWSF too have released the sedna and the black on black versions, allegedly using ORF supply chain for case and movement.
They are available on TT website.

My VSF has developed a small issue. After setting the time when I push the crown back in it doesn't always click. Sometimes it starts the movement but pops back up. I then have to hold it down to screw it in.

Going to drop it off to my watch smith tomorrow, just wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar or knew of cause.

Common VSF issue. Cause is shitty crown tube.

Thanks. What is the best remedy for that.? Please don't say new watch

Snip the stem and make if a push/pull instead of a screw down. Never take it into water again.

There was also a thread somewhere where you can replace it with a AliX tube but that was for Seamasters not sure if it works with the 43.5

VS Omega "No time to die" Crown/Tube replacement

I have a problem with my VS factory V3 Seamaster "No time to die" , the crown and/or tube threading seams to be damaged or worn out. Anybody knows if this case would take an gen tube and crown? thx

Thanks, I'll mention that to my watch smith when I see him later today. Wasn't planning on swimming with it anyway .

To avoid this issue: after setting time, you should screw the crown counter-clockwise until you hear a click, then you screw clockwise the crown.
I’ve been doing this for years in my AP and Omega watches and never had issues.

Everyone seems to be assuming this is a stripped crown or tube but this sounds more like the stem is cut slightly to short.

If the crown screws in fine and it just doesn't click back into the first position correctly it should be able to be fixed with a new stem cut to the correct length.

Is there a consensus on what factories make the better rep? VSF, ORF, TWSF & S+F ?

Thanks for all the responses/suggestions but as @xZeroCoolx mentions there is no issue screwing down the crown once pushed in.

My watch smith looked at it, pulled the crown and pushed it back in a few times. He said that the spring is weak and this is why it is not catching every time it is pushed back in. He then tested it a bit more and found when pushing the crown back in turn it slightly and it worked.

I’ve tested this a few times since and it seems to work so happy days.

@fitipaldi its not quite the same as your advice but similar in principle.
