The WWF has got the movement painted gold with the 3130 and cheaper than VRF. The crystal print is a bit of an eye sore. The wrong spelling on the case back doesn't bother me on the VRF (I don't see it) and is actually quite hard in real life to first look for thr word on the CB and then find the mistake.The WWF hour dots are larger like the gen and the rotor edges look clean. The coronet logo on the crystal is terrible though.

What other thoughts do people have with the more affordable WWF? It seems other parts are identical include the dial which is slightly off centered like the VRF.

In which TD can I find the WWF version ?
I see puretime has already dropped the price of the VRF to bring it closer to WWF. I wonder if the competition will spur VRF on to bring a V2 Out with the errors corrected
Is good to see they have reduced the price for the VRF, I own the VRF so the WWF to me has more flaws which I simply will be annoyed with. The GMT hand, no chamfering on the lugs, poor logo printing on crystal they are all visual you can see straight away when you wear the watch.
I commented it before, but the "ARTSAN" typo on the case back is a very minor when I don't see it when worn and is not very easy to see in real life when there are so much text on it.
The only correction I really like VRF to change is the dial, I personally don't think is the crystal alignment on my watch (I see multiple QCs who has the same issues) but I think the dial is just 1 second off to the left. The indices supposed to bigger, but to me I am not too bothered.
Overall I am actually very impressed with this rep, even at the original price I actually think is a bit of a "bargain" when a standard sub is around the same price range.
That's great to know is not a flaw but a luck thing. Would you mind sharing photos of your watch? Inspecting mine closely is not like I can simply move the dial as there are screws screwed on to the movement. They might bit be screws as I know with the Artisan Daytona dial there wee simply dial feets.Unfortunately (for you) the off-center dial issue you mentioned is a bad QC issue from the factory. Not all watches from VRF have that flaw. I recently ordered the watch from my TD and QCed altogether 4 watches. Two had perfectly centered dial and two had off-center dials. You just happen to get a bad piece.
It may console you to know that I found that it is very hard to get a perfect piece of this watch. Every piece that was presented to me had some sort of flaw. In the end I had to settle on a watch that had a perfectly centered dial but has some sort of discoloration on the bezel.

Thanks but sorry this photo is on an angle, not saying is not aligned but I personally can't tell.

Below (I shared before on this thread) is mine just for reference.

Yes I know what you are talking about. Let me share with you a badly misaligned dial that i was presented.
Compared to this yours is not that bad. I personally wouldn't worry about such a minor misalignment if other parts were good.
I suppose everyone pays particular attention to different parts of a watch. With your watch I feel that you have nothing to worry about. If you had not said so I don't think any one would have noticed that the crystal was slightly misaligned.
At the end of the day it is a rep and you can't expect perfection out of it. I really like this watch and I wanted a perfect piece but after going through four pieces I didn't want to push my luck any further.
