Not even sure stock QF is plated
Hard to say about this VS if it's plated. I lean no but we need photos
I agree on the QF. Several sellers have said it's not plated, it's just tungsten mixed with steel. I'm inclined to think that's right given the look.
I asked CTime about the VS and they told me it’s steel as usual. So no white gold plating or PVD
I can only speak about the 116 but take into account the bunch of solid platinum out with the crystal caseback.

Steel coated tungsten? Without any PVD or plating? Interesting choice by VSF. Makes me more interested to go clean now or custom route.

Hey fellas,
Haven't been very active on here. In a while & in general, lol. I know you the regulars possess a unique level of specialized knowledge that I find just as respectable as I do niche. So even though I don't comment much, I do lurk from time to time when I'm about to make a purchase.
Didn't spend a whole lot of time going deep into my last purchase (Feb 14), but wanted an oysterflex daytona. Wasn't extremely active on here since like 2021, lifes been a little crazy. But I did order this daytona. Got a

FUCKK, i JUST REALIZED this cracked screen just made me look slow & dysfunctional!
Broke my phone yesterday & it isn't responding to normal haptics & my internet connection is pathetic atm, so sorry about the multiple reposts. @mods please remove the comment above this one.
I apologize for inadvertently misfiring
To sum this up, I got this on a whim. Not the "gold model" everyone has been talking about this whole thread, but the "white gold" black stick dial. The watch I orignally wanted, wasn't extemely sourceable (after 2 decided QCs). Seen this just hit the market, was weighted, & an updated model of their first weighted daytona. Movement is kind of iffy from what I've read (please let me know if you any of you have longterm experience with the VS4131 - timegrapher posted below) ..
BUT, GOT QC this morning
Idc about "potential" dust, the movement is being serviced before it ever touches my wrist. Haven't done super homework on their last model, but can you guys tell me what you think about QC? Ordered 4 products in the order, all have been accepted, so not asking for help with QC I'm asking for things that I should "fix" that will make it admirable amongst the communities experts here (ie. glass, hands, bezel, dial- hope not, lol). I know it's all relative, but I'm trying to learn at my own (novice to a lot of you) level.

Well, imho, the biggest thing is that the watch should be white gold not steel. So plating it in white gold. Everything else really is fine stock.FUCKK, i JUST REALIZED this cracked screen just made me look slow & dysfunctional!

Also
BTW, trying to source a deep xtal for this bad boy.
Would you mind me asking why you'd opt for gold/rhodium plating?
I've had many, many white gold trinkets. My experience is, after you wear down the rhodium plating ontop of the white gold, it looks pretty dull, and looses it's luster. Sure, white gold as a base without any plating enhancement is more bright than SS. if it is, is it brighter than a ss/tungsten alloy mix? For how long? Patina/aging will give 18kt WG a slight hint of yellow especially if it's being exposed to elements (sun, showers, hot tubs, chlorine pools, carwashing chemicals, etc) over time.
What would you think about getting a bezel mod/gen bezel)? The silver/grey numbers on the bezel look a little off to me, but still don't have the watch in my hand for a real assessment.
I feel like I'm being annoying, sorry fellas.
Thanks for the opinion bro,
