The easiest way in my opinion to appreciate the white gold hue is in the brushed parts, as the polished ones reflect the environment light.

That is why on bracelet watches it is much more obvious.

I think there are 2 version. The one he bought from M2m is WG plated. Look up the thread and you will see the yellow hue! the one from Susanreviews is not. Maybe VSF has 2 version or maybe the no name seller that sold the watch to our member (was described as no TD) got a plated one...

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 :ROFLMAO:

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.
Relax and use it carefully, forget about the Chono, less is more.

Thanks for the opinion bro,

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. 😂
However you decided to Plate DONT exposed to elements (sun, showers, hot tubs, chlorine pools, carwashing chemicals, etc) over time. Original Richard Mille is like French People they Hate Waters. If you want to go to pool beach etc VSF Sub is the watch for you.

A rule you should follow, don't trust what TD websites say about the watch itself. There is not a ounce of gold in either of those watches plating, I can assure you that.
they want your hard cash dollars my friend.

TD marketing and descriptions are grey zone. There is no agreed upon standardization (which is why experienced members always say to do research).

I think it's less malicious and more lazy. TD dont have big team to update descriptions. They just copy paste whatever the factory says and slaps it on.

Additionally the translation barrier is real. I'm not Chinese language expert nor I claim to be but the nuance of Chinese, maybe in their language 18k gold plating reads to imply it's only gold color not real gold. But to us we read it and we assume it's real gold.

So much for VSF's claim of "no peeling" lol

Another thing to note is that you can see the dial is slightly lower. There's a gap between rehaut and dial meaning some tolerance issue.





its a New Model and also 4131 what we are talking?
