I just checked gen pics again, and frankly cannot see this inner ring of the bezel being thinner... If there's a difference, it must be almost impossible to distinguish

Dial is 1:1 for all intents and purposes.

Bracelet looks great. Somebody said the geometry is not a perfect copy but nothing looks off about the design/shape of the bracelet....so it’s all good.

Only the thin bezel ring looks a little off.

How's the lollipop defect? Is it all that noticable?

that bezel ring is still abt 10% bigger on the gen

not saying the dial s bad this release,but no difference from my old 2.5 and still not grainy enough and lumes not filled in enough
inner ring is bigger on the gen

number 8 on bezel look different, 0 is higher on the gen, bracelet is really off and gen has 4 links without screws - vsf only 3, gen hasnt tm on clasp, etc...

Some daylight pictures.
Overall I love the look. Really impressed with the lume replication.

Bezel ring does look thin tho.

Mine just arrived. Bracelet feels as good as my gen. Seconds hand defect is present but really unnoticeable if you don't know where to look.
Dial is matte and nicely printed. Lume is perfect.
I will update about the movement.
For the money paid is a steal.

It is such a nice piece. I am really tempted. This are the issues I have noted so far:

- Reliabitity of movement is still unknown
- Second hand tip flaw (noted)
- Chrome inner bezel 10% too small compared to the Gen (I might even like the look of the Rep better)
- Dial matte enough (hard to say if this bugs me)
- Lume filling in dial (not sure I am bothered by this)
- Bracelet off (but would order Nato anyway)

It would be helpful and informative if you could do a side to side comparison :eek:

I filed these under bracelet issues......but these are of lesser concern to me as I would opt for the Nato strap. This watch simply needs a Nato strap.

I've got a VSF on the way - there are issues with both, but the biggest killer for me, was the spelling mistake on the MKS.
I can live with the other issues on the VSF - the bracelet isnt great, but I will be wearing it on the nato, and waiting for the non Bond version which I will wear with a bracelet.

Cheers

I’m sure it’s just the picture but MK looks thicker than VSF?

The thinner bezel ring on VS is quite noticeable IMO.

What’s with the “9” on MK bezel insert...:it looks off?
