The VSF 126334 fluted motif dial is a thing of pure beauty. The engravings are very much 3D and beautifully done. An absolute knockout. When the gen dials come out for swaps, I will be sure to compare them to these shots.


Is there any comparisons next to gen?

Here's the green for comparison as well. Without a doubt, the greatest dial release from any factory to date. I sincerely doubt a gen dial is needed here. Highly, highly recommend you grab a fluted VSF 126334. I am beyond impressed.

Note: this is a modded watch, but dial is stock


Hi, green motif and blue motif, which one is more close to gen?

New Wimbledon gen vs rep CF dial comparison, thanks to Chrysanthemum from reptimebst for allowing me to do the work and get a comparison going (reptimebst lives on discord, not reddit: https://discord.gg/rtbst). Full disclosure, the completed watch had a rehaut and hands refinishing performed.

This is a pretty rare one in my experience because the dials are usually ungodly levels of expensive. Easy to compare this to the rhodium gen vs rep. The difference is pretty drastic, with the gen being a lot lighter in shade than rep. There's a few other tells but I leave it to you to visually pick them out. Enjoy!

Have you had the vsf Wimbledon dial in hand yet?
Yes, it's also too dark compared to gen. The easiest way is to also refer back to rhodium VSF vs gen dial photos in this thread. Same difference, gen is lighter than rep. Still, VSF is incredible.

New gen vs rep of the 126331 champagne dial thanks to a kind gentleman who allowed the project and comparison to happen.

The quickest tell is that the rep looks more silver and pale, and shiny, compared to the gen which has a more muted royal gold flush to it. The rest, I leave to you to nitpick 😆

Clickpix doesn't seem to be working but I'd like to temporarily add imgur links to showcase VSF's motif rhodium 126331.


They have plated sides now, fixing a longstanding concern for eagle eyed enthusiasts


Huge thanks to a non TD, Ozguro, that was able to find this after months of asking around.


The biggest benefit to the motif 2 tone series is that the dial sunburst isn't as much of a noticeable difference between gen and rep. Now I say this considering the eyes of the most nitpickiest of folks. I foresee amazing reviews moving forward for the silver 2 tone and the rhodium 2 tone.

Until clickpix is fixed, please enjoy this minor review.

The most scary close to gen dial after the JF 114300 back then. Still enjoying my VSF Rhodium 41 so much!

Wow she's a beauty. Which TD did you get her from? I notice some do not have this model listed on their sites. Is it a Tungsten heavy version? Or do you know if they make one like this?
