Oyster Perpetual 124300 (41mm) GEN, VS & Clean Comprehensive Comparison

[OJL85]

Had anyone received an updated VSF model since this review?

My TD has one in my country ready for next day shipping in the colour I’d like, but had originally planned on a CF (my other rep is VSF, so had fancied seeing a CF this time)

Thanks

How’s the lume on either the VSF or Clean? Decent from either factory?

They're same as gen. If you are expecting wonderful lume from OP, you'll be disappointed, even gen is dogshit, Rolex is not known for lume

I hope they release the pistachio soon

Gen turquoise. VSF Turquoise (stickers). VSF celebration.

VSF nailed it. Just got mine in today. How does the bracelet (a little of that new bracelet squeak that I know is also in gen) compare to gen? For some reason I feel like the OP bracelet is ligher than a VSF sub bracelet (i know clasp etc.)

The VSF Tiffany blue dial really is spot on. Excellent comparison with the different lighting angles.

The bracelet (+clasp) is really good on mine. Very comparable to gen feeling

They both look pretty good to be fair

Is it safe to say for Green dial- CF might edge out VSF?

amazing comparison

I got the vsf v2. The main difference is the ghost date removed from adjusting. I went with vsf cuz I wanted the IMO best movement with real shock absorber.

Note: image is warm cuz it's the only way to get my phone to capture the color right. Your phone may show it different.

VSF v2 with the updated dial is probably closest to a highly repped OP in my opinion. The lug thing people talk about is not noticeable on wrist, particularly on the OP36, and the DD3230 is an amazing movement.

I’ve been happy with mine. Especially on my tiny wrist. It’s been a great daily wear for the last 8 weeks

I just wanted to confirm something… so with version 2 VSF, did they get rid of the ‘ghost’ or extra crown position? I think when they first came out they used the VS 3235 movement (the same one for the submariner with date). Did they now start using the correct 3230 movement without this extra position when pulling out the crown?

Yes corrected with 3230
