Here's a comparison between a genuine sub and a VSF 114060. Pretty easy to tell which one's which. I was under the impression that the VSF 114060 was one of the ultimate best replicas currently out there. If this is the best replica then clearly it's pretty easy to tell just by looking at a replica.
I am telling you right now, having both gen and VSF's I can barely tell the difference while I'm HOLDING the watches.

Calm down no one will shame you

Just remember, you’re doing a direct comparison. Unless you walk up arm to arm with the gen, 99% of people won’t have a clue that you’re wearing a rep.

I'm actually telling you they even feel 99% the same you cant tell shit aside from some sharpish edges.

I just got my new SD43 yesterday and it feels EXACTLY like my gen, no one can tell shit aside the OCD lunatics on this forum :ROFLMAO:

The SEL and the Crown groves wouldn’t be remotely noticeable on wrist btw. My point was no one for any VSF or Clean SS sub/SD43/Daytona/DJ is going to call you out. Unless, as stated before, everyone knows you can’t afford it! As @legend says, “it’s the attitude with which you wear the watch”.

You’re asking watch enthusiasts, a different animal. no one else will care. If someone out in public was to ask if it’s real, it’s not because it looks fake… more so wondering how you have the means.

Any guesses on which one's which? Gen vs. VSF?

You joined this community since 2023, TBH it is a bit childish to ask any of us to guess which is gen which is rep unless you rarely read any of our posts. These people here used to distinguish between Clean, VSF, ZF or whatsoever they made in China.

I'm not entirely sure but I'll go out on a limb and dare to take the plunge in order to pull the trigger on a crazy hypothesis: these are - perhaps - watches?

If someone can tell the difference between these two, they are probably on this forum or fellow watch enthusiasts. The people that can spot/analyze the differences in SEL alignment and sharp edges more than likely also enjoy/respect reps.
