VSF Daytona 126500 with VS4131 movement

[TKav3]

Black very accurate

I saw the video that the first 3 photos here are from - are we 100% sure that the comparison is using a VSF instead of CF?

I know the last 2 photos were from the other VSF thread

Its the vsf obvious because of the crown and the crystal edge shape
Other than that they are very very close with clean tho

Can anyone help me identify the piece in the pics? I supposedly ordered a clean panda from a local dealer (non TD) and he brought me this. Do you think it's the vsf release? To my eyes, it's spot on overall except for the crown and the cooked 6 o'clock marker.
Serial: 2880LV66
Clasp code: 3XU

Vsf… not sure is it true clone 4131 version or that 4802 cheaper version (correct me if tell wrong for another movement )

Good to know it's not a shitter though
It feels solid and keeps good time next to my 126503. No idea on the movement. Winding is smooth but crown guards are a bit sharp and cracked my finger
Fresh pic below. Feedback is always welcome!

When some of you say thin lugs… are you referring to lugs or crown guards? Because I think some people are mixing up some concepts…

For me the black dial not worth buying gen once you change the crown…
I dont see any important improovement for this black variant, there is no such a detail you can tell it is intant tell

The pushers are too shiny.

Still not instant tell, it gets dirty and greasy with wearing… anyways imo not instant tell

I think the only complaint I have for it other than the crown is the subdial texture/color. Having seen gen in real the subdials really do pop. But it's not dealbreaker.

I agree completely and everyone says I’m crazy lol. These Daytona reps (116 and 126) are outstanding and one of the best OOTB reps on the market. But the subdials on both the panda and black dial are just a bit off. The subdials on the gen panda are dark bold black in low-lighting, while the rep is not dark enough. The subdials on the gen black dial pop like crazy in the bright lighting/sunlight. More-so than the rep.

Nothing wrong with that though, that’s why the reps are 700 instead of 30k. Gen is gen

I agreee with you bro the gen is more smooth in the subdials but then again, how visible is that on wrist? Even comparing them side by side is very small difference
