What's your guys' thoughts on all those DiW Submariners? Are they a really a thing? I like some of them, but I wonder if they are a bit too extreme, like, say . . . a Rainbow Daytona or a Tiffany Patek?
Or is the fact that they are really different perhaps an advantage, in that nobody can really put them in a certain drawer and compare them to "the real thing?"

DiW is very very rare. Most people have never seen gen one in real life before. If someone recognize it, the legit check that they will look for is the person wearing the watch haha. However, if you like it go for it.

Hey can I have some advice please? I am offered a VSF submariner with Case for 350€. Seems too good to be true? Seller claims the movement inside is Asian Eta Clone but my limited experience tells me VSF come with 3235 clone?

I think those are two different watches. The one on top has a Noob cover.

that is not a vsf.
1. no 3235
2. either datewheel or crystal is weird but that does not look right
3. not vsf serial number
4. no floating m, a vsf signature

The insert indices has definitely gone darker/dull. The previous owner probably went swimming with it is the reason why. Has this happened to anyone else regarding the VSF stock insert?

Use a toothbrush with warm water and dish soap and dry the indices thoroughly.

I have found this to be an oxidation issue.
I have seen it happen more when you shower with the watch.

You will see a big difference.

Let's talk about and post pictures of our beautiful VSF watches instead of reading non stop repetitive and banal whining about a dial dimple.
