the answer is probably: V-series 1000 pieces, W-series 1500 pieces. VSF replication is of V-series...

You guys are specialists, i ain't so whats the difference here between 1500 and 1000 ? The Gen should be also 1000 says Polonus. What's the relevance ? Accuracy ?

Accuracy in terms of details, nothing more, nothing less. No difference in terms of performance, even in gen. It's just in 2019 (V-series), 1000 pieces were made. In 2020 (W-series), 1500 were made. If someone knew how many pieces were made in a certain year especially for such a popular model, then the wrong number would give the watch away as not being genuine (but then the movement would be a bigger tell, rather than the number of pieces in this case).

XF as a factory doesn’t exist anymore so it won’t happen. XF is basically VSF, pretty much same people but different name. You won’t see any new pams from XF.

So two days ago I approved QC on one of these. After reading the links that KOT1917 shared, I went back to the QC pics to compare the lume colour. Not sure if it is my eyes, or my phone screen, but my lume does not seem green at all. Does anyone know if VSF did n silent update on this?

What do you want mean? Pics?

Without seeing what you’re talking about it is tough to say. A lot of times the camera or lighting will make the lume look more white almost. It depends. That’s just a composition issue I think. (As I’m not a photographer).

Definitely looks less greenish than my QCs from Sead. I have noticed though that when my lume is charged it’s very green. In some lights it can also look more like gen and not green at all.

Could just be the image but hopefully it’s an update or you just got lucky!

Rupert Fripp thanx for the input. Probably unlikely there was an update if yours is also greenish. Mine should be from the same batch i would guess. Oh well I’ll see in the flesh. Not too worries about it as I yet have to buy a rep with perfect lume. None of my reps have perfect lume.

jpchub It is good piece. flatten that CG pin and repaint 3-6-9 dots (if it is not just dirt) and you are good to go.
