I want to know about the VS crystal as someone said its better while another guy said deep is better. I just asked a few questions because I’m new to this stuff and I thought people are helpful here.

For Cyclops crystals:
Gen > VSF > deep/CF
I think most would agree with this. The rest is up to what you think looks best, and your budget.
On a CF I wouldn't ever bother upgrading to a deep unless it was VSF/or a Gen crystal.
Honestly these VSF GMTs are sweet out of the box. Ordered a Pepsi to try out. I wish I waited for the Batman tho lol...
VS crystals are generally better than Clean, yes. Deep is an advantage for Clean, but unnecessary for VSF in my opinion. But as mentioned, none of us have the watch in hand yet. I see you just ordered one from Clean(?), don’t worry. I doubt you’ll notice the difference in hand anyway.

That clean are really bad tho. Non of my three clean GMT’s have been like that, more like the arf
I feel sad to see you struggling with what should be a simple request for an opinion. Unfortunately, the forum often feels dominated by a bullying mentality.. Asking questions here can quickly lead to accusations of wanting to be 'spoon-fed,' which is incredibly unhelpful and discouraging.

Yeah but it's 8 pages of reading and if he actually read it instead of jumping to the last page and hitting post he would have learnt that yes, the crystal is better. It's like a 10 minute skim if they actually wanted to learn.
VSF New GMT Pepsi 126710 with Clean and GEN Comparison
Hello everyone, We’ve taken a batch of higher-quality photos and welcome all friends to share your thoughts and discuss in the comments. Additionally, VS Factory has announced that they will release all GMT models. As soon as we receive the latest updates, we’ll be the first to share them...

The first post I made on here literally, the first line, "The crystal looks to be better."
Some nuanced question such as "Is the bracelet clasp similar operation to Clean, the crown detailing looks to be worse on the clasp on VSF" would get 100% more replies. Low effort Reddit questions get ignored most of the time. There's reasons why.
Seriously? He starts with this question in a thread with already 100 different opinions…:
And if it’s that simple, how about giving him the answer instead of wasting your time talking nonsense?
So bezel lip is hit and miss from the TD pics we have seen so far

Looks like a pretty big gap between insert and lip? Or is it just the 100x magnification that makes it seem that way?

It is often an optical illusion - in the pictures of Sead it looks as if the lip is too thin. But if you look at the UV picture, you can see how wide the lip really is.

I received QC photos today as well. I'm waiting on one more as in one I couldn't tell if the case was scratched or if it was a reflection or the plastic. I'm thinking it was the plastic but I'd rather be safe then sorry.Here are some of my accepted QC pics.
Dial print looks sharp; bezel lip looks nice and thicc. i don't even know what Clean can do to top this lol.
I have an ARF Batman. My bezel action is not that loose at all.
I’m sure VSF is better, but we’re seeing a lot of factory marketing and dealers hyping up this release.
The APSF 26240 deserved this level of hype.

The power of brand name. Lots of VS fans in the industry, since they do make a fantastic Sub. I'm not shocked since that's how the world works
I do agree that VS currently looks better than Clean with the dial and crystal being the main draw. I'm definitely leaning towards a VS Bruce Wayne over a Clean/ARF to see what the hubub is about.
But notice how VS never is first to market with reps..... they let Clean handle all the hard details such as ceramic UV bezel and then swoop in, half the watch is made by Clean subsuppliers

Anyone else noticed the VSF crystal on the GMT has improved? Specifically in the Cyclops department. I noticed this right away, but I couldn't pin point what it was until I zoomed in. Not talking about magnification, but the "halo effect"
I also like they are not using blue tinted AR, rather a colorless/brown AR. I know gen has both variations but I dislike the blue hue so much.
