Up on PT now.


Obvious issue is lume is not same on hour markers and the hands. Much lighter on the hands including the seconds hand.

Lume colour is also incorrect with all hands being green and everything else blue, where as gen has all blue and only the bezel pip/pearl and the minute hand green.
I think it looks better with the hands being the same colour.

Oh well that's a night mare - Sorry dude. Haven't got any idea on how to solve something like that but intrigued when you do.
Yea, that's bad, I wore it only for 2 times and the knob chose to just leave me.
Not sure if I could get some spares so that I could work something out, and that's for sure a d.i.m project to bolt it back!

Guys.. Please take a good note on this watch. I have gotten this and the dealer claims that this is from VSF...

Hi friend. When did you order, have you waited a long time for QC pictures? Thanks in advance
Hi. I ordered from SuperMirrors, they keep stock in EU and UK. When it was in stock on the UK list I got QC straight away.

My friend you’re not having a lot of luck with yours, I’m sorry that yours is so problematic.

The helium escape valve should just screw in and unscrew, I’ve tested mine and it feels secure. I’d contact your TD and see if they can get you a replacement.

Also regarding your movement, the manual winding seems to be connected to the rotor. Does the rotor spin by itself when wearing the watch? Again probably something to go back to your TD about. Hopefully you can both issues fixed.

Mate, thanks for feeling me.
Initially that helium escape valve is good, and only the 2nd time I wore it, it chose to leave me..

I have contacted my dealer and they can't get any spare for me and I'm stranded with that...

The rotor spins when I turn the watch but it doesn't seem to be as good as before.

I was requesting my dealer for a 1 to 1 exchange and it's being turned down. I do understand where he is coming from but I hope this video could reach out to the founder of VSF, I'm just hoping that there will be an improved version to be introduce..

Sorry I don't have any information on this. I haven't actually purchased one of these from a TD but I hope that you get it sorted.

No worries mate, if you don't have it. I am hoping the rest of the members here has some info about VSF factory P.IC's info so that could link me up with them.

Is there an easy way of asking a TD for the latest version of this, being the 2023 with this change, or is it expected? I suppose I know the answer to this question already but wondered if TDs try to clear old stock first

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