Yes but it actually looks worse in pics than to the naked eye. It’s always luck if the rep lume matches gen lume.

Nice watch, with nice rehaut and cystal ootb i have one just like it. Can you post a lume pic in the dark?

I just got the zf, it is wonderful in most aspects but why is the bezel edges so rough? Is the genuine the same way? Like you can scratch your back with it

Genuine bezel when new is pretty rough, don't be under any illusion the genuine watch has a nice smooth bezel, it doesn't but it does get softer over time if you wear it under a sleeve. I bet your rep bezel is better than you think it is.

Nearer than you think
Can you guys that have both the VSF and the ZF confirm that the VSF has a more "angled / sloped" rehaut, while the ZF is more genlike since it's straighter?

I think that proportions are fundamental , and an angled rehaut will make the dial look "deeper / weirder", have you noticed it?

I have noticed it as well along with the whole rehaut engraving being a bit off unfortunately (different from gen in style, size, position, font and the polished lower edge).

Check the Clean thread someone posted VSF vs Clean QC's you see the slope there quite clearly.

I see, i wonder if it's the same for the 126610 series, or if it's straighter for those

Better for someone with VSF and the other in hand to say that.

As the cellphone pics create the fisheye effect and I don't have VSF so can't say for sure that its more angled or not.

That sounds a bit dramatic, here is a look a close up to see if we can see what you are referring to..

Here is VSF and gen.. or is it gen and VSF.. to be honest I can hardly tell myself and I own them..lol..

What are you referring to, something about a lower shelf, looks exact to me and bear in mind that is 20x about magnified? Please place a red mark on the picture and show us what is so bad that you need to buy Clean and have 'those' crown guards (which is much more obvious flaw) instead..

You can see it from this angle, but it's more noticeable when you see them from the front, i'm talking about the angle of the rehaut, in the gen one it's a bit steeper, while on the VSF it's more angled towards the outside.

P.S. the red lines are useless in this pic, it's just to show you what i'm referring to

What are you referring to again? Something about a lower shelf or what was it? Please place a red mark on the picture and show us what is so bad that you need to buy Clean instead..

We all know already you cannot hardly tell anything and are touting all around the forum not a single thing to improve on VSF, 116610LN has been mastered, I bought one to put in safe and so on.

The rehaut is off exactly what I was referring to you can see that from your pic.

And I won't shit on the watch you like and prefer its off yes but for some that is perfectly fine depends how OCD you are on the rehaut.

So when presented with the above picture counter to your observations, instead of offering anything factual, you swerve the question and go for a personal attack.

Why can't you prove your point using the above picture?

afaik the rehaut angle is also off on the other factories or isn't it anymore ?? That's definitely a thing vsf can improve, but still wouldn't held me off from buying. The lower straight and polished edge could also be 0.1mm taller and more mirror finished from this picture.. but this all is nitpicking 5000 :D

Your pic is really bad for comparing the rehauts if you do not know them so well. You can put any watch there and would look identical. Check the pics I put in Clean thread shows the difference better. Also Angus big sub review has the macros of all them and shows it the best.

Nothing catastrophic just would be awesome if it would be on the same level would buy it for the case.

Absolutely, this has been noted previously that the rehaut on VSF is like a wok, the rehaut is the weakest point on the watch, it's a poor compared to what other factories seem to be able to achieve though none of them can do it quite like R factory, they are all wrong.

If you examine my pic above you can actually see the VSF exhaust is too high probably by about 0.2mm as well angled and it has an angle at the top of the wok that is not there on gen.

The pic of the ZZF one in the other thread shows a white line (gasket?) around the top shelf immediately under the crystal, this is not consistent with gen or VSF. My Noob Daytona has this too, it's not a great look. I'd rather my rehaut too high and with crap spacing than the white ring which you can't not see with a black dial and bezel surrounding it.
