Here we go guys, the one we’ve been waiting for..
These are more or less identical, only a fooool pay £10,000 instead of under £400.
VSF have killed it. I very much doubt you will find a better Submariner replica though I admit I have not inspected them all.
We all know the movement is butter smooth, unwinding the crown itself is smooth, the bezel rotation is exactly like my 2yr old genuine (but not as tight as a new watch is!). The bracelet is smooth with no sharp edges, the clasp is there and the glidelock very genuine like. The feel of the watch just feels like a new Submariner. Obviously my genuine one has 2yrs wear but the VSF is just how I remember it was when it was new.
What’s different that I can see?
.Hands are 3D on genuine, they are flat on VSF. Mercedes hand is perfect sized(?)
.Blast finish on underside of flip lock missing in VSF
.First R position on the rehaut
.Rehaut print is sharper on genuine
.Crown on flip clasp
.Fliplock rest area on the clasp is more 3D on the genuine
What is near as perfect?
.Case
.SEL's
.Crown guards
.Crown
.Bezel insert, appearance and recess
.Bezel insert platinum colour filling
.Bezel feel
.Bezel
.Pearl
.Bracelet
.Dial, markers and font and gloss print and alignment
.Lume
.Crystal is 97% there - no need to change
.Date wheel font and gloss
.Black hole
.Date magnification is exact
.Feel
.Weight (only 2gram difference)
.More?
That's it folks. This is identical otherwise. Noting it has NO anti fingerprint coating on the insert as descrbed by CF, but neither does the genuine one! I have circled and pointed at the only differences I can see in the pictures below.
The pics:
Rolex on the left. VSF on the right in all pictures..
Thanks for looking, now go and buy one!?!
