I have to agree with this. However, I have seen plenty of dw alignment complaints on the gen forums as well, but they don't seem to care about the issue as much as we do. Unless those are all reps passing themselves off as the real deal.
Most the "incoming" posts at TRF tend to coincide with all the new reps that are being released. Most current "incoming" posts have been the new Daytonas from BTF and Clean, as well as the new Clean yachtmaster 126622 releases, which are passed off as gen with everyone congratulating each other like suckers.

Even when TRF members post photos of 11 and 12 series Subs, I see VSF and Clean serial numbers all over the place!

TRF offers no real substance and most members are there just to flex like the dorks they are. 👎

It's true, at the moment for DW you can only pay more attention in QC.

It appears that VSF has it nearly mastered. Im old school, i like the purple sunburst with gold lettering and datewheel. Im wondering if an gold DWO could be installed on a VSF.

This is true, but the alignment of GEN's DW is much less of a problem, and the misalignment of the reps is mainly due to the fact that most of the date wheel is slightly offset at the time of printing
