Hello fellow VC enthusiasts!
Looks like 8F created a new rep of the 4300V, and it actually looks quite good in my opinion,, compared to other overseas reps we have gotten thus far.
Gen:
For the purpose of this review, I'll focus primarily on the blue dial (as that is my favorite), but most all of the dial variations look great IMO.
Blue dial does not have the sunburst, which VC just updated in 2020. I prefer this version without the sunburst and I think 8F got close to the original finish.
The watch I believe is around 11mm, and gen is 8.1mm, but this is likely as good as it gets for now.
Cons:

Cons:
- Cross is not as beveled (look at this video at 0:43: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeisCwAfJL4)
- Dial color does not have as much depth as gen
- Thicker than gen - looks ~10-11mm thick to me. Gen is 8.1mm (insane).
- Minor quibble - the hand base for the subdials have bevels on gen, whereas this hand base is more like a 'round' base with no beveling.
- Not quite sure what is going on with the constellation map on the moonphase disc, but it's a decent attempt but not perfect like gen.
- Overall a GREAT rep, I may pick one up.
- All functions look like they work, including moonphase (of course month is manual but that's not really a con in my opinion as that's par the course)
- Attention to detail has been attempted
- All 3 straps are available for it (this is huge)
