I dont Think it is polished correct - I have ordered one. Will try to take bezel off when it arrives - if it is solid it will be easy to fix in the lathe. If it is anything like my ZF then the bezel is a thin Shell of bronze on a steel base and I Think it will be better to leave it as it is.

You look like you know what you're doing...
Any idea how to fix a bezel that has vertical play at just one area around the edge of the watch? You can press down on it at around 7 o'clock. It doesn't follow the bezel though, no matter how you rotate it, the play is always at 7 on the dial.

How did you remove the bezel??

Hi - Sorry but no idea - apart from taking off the bezel and see how it works. Probably just some sort of spring that needs to be thigtened. Do a search of your make and model and see if someone have done it. There is many different bezel constructions.

With a bezel removal Tool ( the small knife). Needed some persuasion though. The bronze Shell is pressurefitted on the steelcore.

Great looking watch. Can't go wrong with bronze and how it ages over time.

Well the uncharged lume is slightly green but not so much. However, I am unclear whether the statement is with regards to the uncharged or the charged lume and some comparison shots. @Enfield can you elaborate?
The last post with QC pic of a VSF is the same green. But to me the entire watch looks like an improvement - maybe apart from the need of a relume.

How much patina is that? IMHO all bronzos should arrive to you with some patina. They aren't kept in controlled environments so they would be exposed to open air which would already start the patina process. If it doesn't patina by the time it gets to you, it may not even be made of bronze.

Live photos of my new VSF 382.
Initial thoughts are: Not bad.
I have had the ZF and KW versions in the past and even bought a HK Tan strap. I think the build quality is better than both my earlier versions.
Movement is great, just as solid as my VSF441
The bezel is much improved in feel and lacks the sloppy action of the others.
The strap, with a bit of work is okay, I don't feel the need to replace it.
Full review and better photos in a few days.
