Thanks for the feedback. I'm a bit weary of rubber strap. Had a motogp tissot watch on rubber strap and it starts to stink after 5 times usage.
Just need to get the right strap. I have a vanguard on my BB58 and it’s awesome. No smells, doesn’t attract dust either which is something to consider when sourcing a rubber strap.

Has anyone been able to review or purchase the VSF 300M V2 with the 2836-2 and updated clasp/bracelet? I've been strictly looking at ZF's, but something other than the 2824 movement has me intruiged...Then again, I know nothing about the 2836-2 either...It could be a version of 2824. I haven't looked into it yet.

Any insight here?
Any info regarding this? Is it true that VSF uses a new movement?

New movement? Since when? Would this have been introduced to help alleviate the stripping crown issues? Not that that ever happened to me and I've had three

Just spoke with Steve on WhatsApp when I ordered a VSF, he said that they always used a 2824 or a 2836 as base then they modify it. So nothing new

Nice information, thanks for the input. I haven't had one in a while but I do miss having one in rotation. Wears really well for a "bigger" watch, especially on my smaller wrist.

Now if thats not a perfect QC pic I don't know what is, oh and also 304 amplitude. VSF seems to have perfected their output and also 10/10 customer service from Steve.

I own an Omega 300M ZF and my clasp stopped working , it is related to losing one of the screws on it , mechanism won't release due to it being angled sideway... Can I get a replacement bracelet or clasp for it ? Am wearing rubber strap for now .

Please point me in the right direction

It runs awesome, been wearing it daily since and its great. It was even great regulated and it doesnt gain or lose any meaningful secs to notice something.
Right then, another load of cash I wasn't going to be spending today haha

I really like the white dial but I think the "Seamaster" red text on the white just doesn't look right. Anyone have any first hand experience on this?

Have they updated the seamaster to a v2 or is that just talk?

Yeah the seamaster text on the vsf being the wrong red is a known flaw. But its probably your best bet currently.

Helpful. Maybe I'll avoid and go for another colour, the blue looks superb from the pictures

I have seen the gen side by side and honestly if you aren't looking and don't have them side by side its impossible to notice the kinda wrong shade of red in such a small font.
