Which is the 802 serial??? VSF also, obviously? When did that come out, and any changes from the K25 serials?

Awesome photos by the way, what camera do you use for these?
I would like to know this to, last I hear k25/k29 were the latest 116610LV serials from vsf. 902 is v6f.

Are the 802 old, but new stock?

I'm just wondering this far in the game, would one benefit on the 116 black ceramic insert to purchase a gen insert? I see the platinum fill is quite bright and well finished. I have the opportunity to by a gen insert but I'm not not sure if its worth it anymore. My VSF has not faded, but if it is brighter on gen, I would probably try to buy one.

From what I´ve seen in pics and irl, rep inserts nowadays are terrific. But you will get a little more shine and lusciousness in gen inserts. In my case, I´d rather get a gen dial or crystal.

Not worth it imo. The VSF insert is close enough. Depending on if you have a date or not I would change crystal.

Received my Geektime VSF 114060 QC today and gave the GL. I can only see 1-2 tiny flaws, need some feedback on how "bad" they are
1: The 9 o'clock marker (the big marker) is like 0.5 mm closer to the small 9 o'clock marker (compared to the 3 o'clock marker). In other words, the gap between the big and small marker is smaller. 2: the 6 o'clock marker (the big one) is slightly too close to the "Swiss made" text (this one "bothers" me the most, but other key areas look fine so I didn't want to give the RL/be annoying to Geektime for those small details (received great service from him, received QC 1 hour after purchase). What do you guys think?

It's very slightly above the lettering, almost touching but not covering as far as I can see. I got the green light on reddit, also from watchyoda who's very well known in the reddit group. But right after giving my OK to geektime I started noticing that "flaw", too late to change it.

Kinda bummed about that one, but can't complain too much because the other details look good, it's a rep, I don't expect flawless ones. Hopefully it won't bother me too much when I receive it and wear it.

Hopefully it’s just the photo angle! There’s so much we can complain about, sharp cases, not everything align and so on but in the end of the day it’s a copy and a hell of a good one!
