Looks pretty good! I love the Shawn Yue/Pikachu but I have horror stories from my CF plated variant 😩

Would love some comparison pics to clean! Looks like they did a a pretty decent job of the ghost white gold color.

If these are PVD and you’re happy with the color, DOET!

Do you know if VSF will offer different size oyster straps when you order?

PVD coating likely lasts longer than plating which is what they’re using
I have had parts titanium nitrate pvd coated in the past and the color was very off. Wonder what formula they are using to get the color right? I was told you cannot plate the metal if it has pvd coating on it.

Here are most recent pics I could source. Seems that the color is pretty decent

are they using any new technology to make the plating last longer or it will still suffer from fading over time?
Factories often claim to use top-notch techniques, but time is the real test. For example, some Day-Date 40 gold finishes tend to peel over time…

They offer 2 size strap, one long and one short, allowing for three different combinations.

How do you see yellow gold plating color agains clean for example which is pretty decent?
Because the gold color of the genuine piece oxidizes over time, if there’s no genuine one for side-by-side comparison, my choice would be meaningless.
