I actually see what you mean now. On the gen, you have to turn the crown counterclockwise to change the date (which is weird to me). I found a video on YT showing this on a gen.
Rep is the opposite. Clockwise turn moves the date.
I guess this is a flaw then.

LOL I know right?
Well I am sure many/some knew already. It's hard to find a video review of gens where the host actually unscrews the watch to adjust time. It is quite odd to me that the date is adjusted by turning the crown counterclock wise but maybe some of my other watches do this too. I just never pay attention.

Looks like it's time to go for the ceramic case no date seamaster. Problem solved hahaha
What's funny is, the video I watched, the guy only showed how to change the date lol
Check it out https://youtu.be/luI7PPwFVgM
Go to 17:25 or so.
Another flaw!!!! Lol
I am actually not too bothered by any of this. What I did notice though while watching video reviews of gens is I now see the flaw in the CG in VSF v2. This bothers me much more than the crown rotation.

The base movement is a 2824 with standard adjustments associated with that movement as no clone exists for this model so as said this is old news and pretty irrelevant in the scheme of things. Poor crown guards far out way that flaw lol!

Just received a blue one from an m2m c&r sale, what a fantastic looking watch, to my eyes the lume looks white and the hand seem to match, I’ll upload some pics tomorrow when I have better light.
It came with the rubber strap aswell, because of the weight I wanted to fit it but no matter how long I tried I could get the spring bars to lock in properly, I got one side in and the second side felt and sounded as though they click in but easily pulled out. So in frustration I put the steel bracelet back on and clicked and locked in first time, has anyone else had this problem with rubber straps and would different pins make any difference?

It’s a common problem with the rubber strap. Thinner pins is probably the option. Try 1.5mm diameter rather than the 1.8 they come with.

it has been discussed quite a bit in this thread. Apparently the best way is using bent springbars. Or ge a tool to bend springbars your self.

Were you using one set of springbars for the rubber strap and a different set for the bracelet?

Bent springbars should work with the rubber strap but not with bracelet, correct?

It's a flaw but not one I do really care about. The BPS I knew about but honestly its a thing which is really hard to spot.
The CG, Lume (and on mine the RG Bezel) are more significant flaws.
Anyway, overall I am pretty happy with the watch.

Hey guys,
Can I get your opinion on the QC pics of my watch?
I'm afraid the lume on the hands is too yellowish/greenish.
I've seen VSF Seamasters with better white lume so I'm not sure whether to RL/GL.
Also the bezel finishing at 20 looks odd to me, but maybe that's just the lighting.

the 20 on the bezel possibly looks a little funky but possibly the light and angle, the hand lume definitely doesn’t match the markers, see my post above yours with my blue one, I’m not picky and I definitely wouldn’t be happy with it, whether rejecting it you would get a better one depends on whether a newer batch is available
