Is there a detailed comparison of the latest VSF Starbucks sub Vs the new Clean Starbucks sub?

Just saw a comparison in YouTube- there bezel on the clean actually looked better-


My VSF is on its way to me 😂😉

The reason you don't want a VSF bracelet is becuse the endlink is shit.

The endlink on this bracelet is good and gen like so no matter what it, is CF or not, it's good and you want it.



You are completely right. My only other doubt about this bracelet concerned the clasp and engravings. In the common 1LD CF they seem more defined and aligned

HOW the HELL can you see the endlink are perfect without sizing the case ??? awesome!!!

i have a question, i recently have headache because when i look my watch i see a F°#king hole inside the second hand, so i was LF some GEN hand's, but then i saw more posts with the VSF sub like mine that doesn't have the same hole without gen hand's, my question is, why the hell have i an hole and other watches not ??? rep is rep VSF is VSF, did they use different Hand's always ? here some fotos of mine and another one that i found here in RWI... it's hard to find them gen and they are very expensive...

I noticed that the centered endlinlink is very high and well defined. In my Vsf (3vv clasp) is much flatter. So this is definitely an upgrade for me. Only doubt is about engravings.

You can find clean hands on Aliexpress for about 40€ or ask to your TD

Does anyone know if the newer bezels VSF have been upgraded? The video I posted above compares an older VSF S19 with a new clean…

But the bezel looks far better on the clean than the VSF I think. Darker
I know the dials are darker on the newer VSF…

It's common knowledge that bracelet is known to fit the case just fine. It's the endlink midstep (shallow, soft eged step) that I criticise on VSF bracelets, that bracelet has no such issue (nice height step with sharp definition). I'm being picky of course, a polished gen may appear similar to a VSF so it's really no big deal.

To me it looks like my new hulk k series will have a version V3 bezel and new cleans have a V4
🤷🏻‍♂️
you cant really note the differences because there are too many variation on Artificial light's, sun light's different angle etc... show my photos of the watchmaker, same light, not really smae angle but they seem identical...enjoy the watch with or without 0,1 darker bezel xD

I bought a 114060 VSF this month (NEW K25 batch with the VS3130 movement) from Eric @ geektime. he's not an TD here but anyway...

It had a problem were every couple of hours it would just stop working even with a full power reserve. I had to shake it with force to get it to start working again. Multiple people told me they had the same issue with their NEW VSF subs. Wondering if it could be the result of the post-raid factory making movements that are not as reliable as they once were. It could just be debris clogging things up. Maybe I'm just 1/100 this happened too but I honestly doubt it

Cosmetically the watch is stunning

I sent it for a service

Here's a picture of the watch for anyone interested:

how's your vsf? service fix it?
