Here is a QC pic of my 40mm Clean YM VR3235 that's currently in the mail, and it's my first rep. So, I'm hoping to join the club very soon

Thanks, I can not wait (should have gotten express shipping lol). I see all this debate about VSF vs CF. Do you have an opinion on the two?

The CF has the better colour for the seconds hand and text on the dial. Which to me was important because its part of what makes this watch unique. The Vsf has a better movement but the CF runs great. Now that I have had the watch for a few months its settled in at +4 seconds a day. Cant go wrong with either in my opinion

I've read that one dead giveaway for a rep is that the rehaut has fairly jagged/sharp edge. Whereas on gens it has a soft or rolled edge. Any knowledge of this?

The difference on the rehaut is usually how well engraved or polished it is. VSF usually has a weak engraving and light polish. CF is very gen like. But unless you had it beside a gen most people can't tell. The CF YM has no dead giveaways and most people would have to open it up and look at the movement to tell. A few posts pack in this thread there is someone with the gen and the clean and he says he confuses them all the time lol. The reps from either VSF or CF are so good these days that its like splitting hairs at this point

I did find one tell... I think. Gen has like an extra half link at the clasp that reps do not. Top is gen (I drew a red line right above it), bottom is CF.

The micro adjust in the clasp is just anchored at a different location. That is not a flaw. Gen will look like this too if anchored in the same location and/or the easy link is extended.

OK, so to all the YM fans on here, have you ever seen a rep of this one? I've searched about 5 TD sights looking for different kinds and never run across anything like this. Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks in advance

This is the 226617 titanium, right? Which factory - TWF or EWF and how do you like it?

what happened to the red "YACHT" on your dial ? I guess it's photo compression issue ?
