Elliot been quick to respond to any questions on whats app, was asking for shots of movement but been told by others this is not usually done? First set of QC pics I've received so wasn't sure if they should be included or not. Once I've pulled the trigger I'll post them up here.

Never received a QC of movement… why are you asking for it?

First watch and assumed there would be proof the movement is as ordered, ie VS 3130 is in there not a VR3130 or lesser quality movement.

Yes, and don’t forget to ask as well to dissassemble hands to be sure they are not from other factory. Because these can be VSF fake, we never know…

Wouldn't be the first time a dealer has put in a cheaper movement than advertised.
If it was a GMT i would be inclined to agree. But that case is special.

The reason there exists fake GMTs is because the VR3186/VR3285 at some point was interchangeable with the same case as the DD3285. So you could have a perfect exterior looking Clean GMT with a VR3285/VR3186 inside it.

But there are no "fake VSF" 114060s as far as I've seen. There are 114060s with 2836s but you would be able to spot them. The 2836 is not a direct swap with the VR3130 or VS3130 and would require some fiddling and modification involving many things.
