I'm giving one of these a try see what the big fuss is about 😄 I don't have a keen eye for these, to me looks good (yes, I noticed the rehaut is misaligned) so was Sylvester Stallone's Gen! 😂

Approved QC shot.

When it comes to VSF subs, you can really hardly to make a big fuss about their flaws. Honestly you can hardly get a better Sub rep from other factories. Enjoy what you have on your wrists

VSF sub = King of subs
Seriously eyeing up these new hulks..
VSF hands down makes the best subs at the moment. The only thing that I can complain about right now that I see is

1) DW alignment can be improved. I think its due to the date disc printing on some. Like on mine all the single digits and teens look awesome. Some of the 20s sit tiny nit low etc...but I see some left or right justified as well.

2) The crown is definitely too sharp. The gen crown is not as sharp as the ones on the current VSFs

Other than that these are like super reps now.

Hi Guys,

just received this QC Pics of this VFS Sub, what do you think about the spot i marked, is this regular brushing or something like a deep scratch? TF says its regular brushing, looks weird.

what about the alingment of the Insert to Bezel, normal that is it not correctly straight to the outet ring?

In General is it a good one?

Not a bad scratch / mark. Also, it’s on the bottom of the watch so you won’t be able to see it / fixate on it even if it is visible to the naked eye (which is unlikely). And the bezel insert alignment looks good to me.

so in general the watch is a good pick?

the date looks kind of crooked?
Ever so slightly but I'd take that over a date that isn't centered vertically any day, you'd not notice it at normal viewing distances. The marks on the back, I don't have that on my VSF Sub but as others have said it is on the back and won't be seen and depends how fussy you are on whether you RL it or not

Why are you concerned about something you're probably never going to see? But if it bothers you that much, then just RL it.

I think... this is gonna come across harshly, but I don't mean to offend - it's utter fucking madness if you're thinking of red lighing that, petty... but, depends if you can live with it at the end of the day. The problems with that watch, in the grand scheme, are absolutely minute.

As it warns on one of the QC guides that I read on here - just remember that if you RL that, the next 1 could be worse and I dunno what TD your watch is from, but you don't get infinite chances to continue red lighting until you get the perfect watch that doesn't even have so much as a 1mm scratch on the back of the SEL.

If it bothers YOU reject it immediately.

It's YOU who has to wear and live with it.

It's YOU who will never feel good about the watch if it bothers YOU.

Me? I would reject it because that's what QC pics are all about.....you want it OR you don't. It's YOUR choice because again, YOU have to live with it.
