New VSF Black on BLack
- Thread starter bhehe6813
- Start date
I'm thinking some of the good quality component suppliers have been taken out of the game leaving watches being cobbled together from inferior parts. VSF just flew too close to the sun and its competitors wanted their share of thier business and reputation. i have seen a rise in complaints about VSF quality for the last 18 months.
Keeping my vsf black black as it’s my fav!.. but selling my ORF regular black. What you think the value would be considering factory has closed?
Depends on condition but definitely not more as you paid (-shipping) if you want to sell it on the forum and within the forum rules.

Yeah man I was at a red light, and I wanted to adjust my bezel, but when I started turning it the guy next to me honked and gestured for me to roll down my window. He told me he could hear the subtle clicks of the bezel and instantly knew it was a rep, then called me a f*got and floored it straight through a red light.
And he was rushing to tell all your friends and family of your misdoing, getting you to do the walk of shame.
That was funny, but bezel and crown quality is mostly for my liking, like I care what others think of my bezel's and crown's action. Even with gen watches or good replicas I don't go around people and start rotating my bezel and show them how perfect the crown works.
Watch I wore the most so far was the Christopher Ward C60 from middle of 2014 to middle of 2021 7 years straight. I don't believe I rotated the bezel more than 5 times, and even that was the first year.
But still, on this Seamaster just knowing the bezel is bad is enough for me to not wear it, it's going back to Trusty, if you can call him that if he has the audacity to send you such a bad watch.
Staying away from Omegas for a while. 2018 Seamaster 20mm bracelet is atrocious anyway.
Aqua Terra Ryder Cup 2016 is still on the way to me, that one is a beauty. Tokyo 2020 from JVS will probably go on a (included) rubber strap, on a bracelet I think of the bracelet and move it around the wrist the whole day, it's so uncomfortable.

I agree with @johnlogan that the ceramic is questionable. I think it’s actually ceramic though, it’s definitely non magnetic. I think it’s just the brushing that makes it seem like black steel.
The inner edge of the bezel is overly sharp, will catch on any microfiber. The bezel is too dark, it should blend better with the markers.
The dial is very nice though, the reflections are awesome.

Pulled the trigger on it today. Looking forward! Anyone know were to order a Naylon Strap like the DSOM one?
It’s the same of the DSOM with a 21mm lug size.
I would recommend Jack from Singapore, he’s on Etsy selling all sorts of straps and very well known for the Aquanaut straps.
Or you can buy the gen like some twats around this forum (me) and spend about £600+ on that.
They’re about $170 I believe from omega.
If you’re looking for something cheaper just browse some watch forums and see what people like, you’re looking for a 21mm black nylon nato, there’s likely a billion of them.

Black on black lume shot:
The green lasts for like 5 minutes, the blue is dimmer after 5, but not too bad. Looks nice never the less.
