Lazy build, easy fixed..
The case back will be loose, fingertight probably. Wrap some sticky tape round your finger and unscrew it. Let it dry, warm room overnight or two. Screw it back on.
I have 5 VSF now and all had a loose case back.
Re the bezel, Inside the green bezel is a white plastic ring. It will be poorly seated. To fix it you need to pop the bezel off and reseat the white plastic ‘hytrel’ ring back inside the bezel properly and refit the bezel. It’s easy. YouTube it.
Check your case back everyone, post back here if you are loose...

I picked up a VSF for my old man. It was finger tight. Other than and the crown being a little "off" when pulling it out, it is a nice watch.

Guys i need help my watch just arrived but there is a steam inside. In warm place steam disappear but when i get outside and then inside steam appear again. Also bezel is loose and moving up and down. Is that normal or is it just bad piece?
Moisture got inside.
Put it inside container with rice and cover it. Make sure to put watch on top of rice and not deep inside the rice. Rice will absorb all moisture, it won’t absorb oil from the movement. It should take a few hours. Then when moisture is absorbed tighten back case and crown.
when it comes to bezel make sure there isn’t any plastic stuck between bezel and case. You can also try to press bezel down, perhaps it’s out of alignment.

No. Look at the first R O L. But who cares. It is a beautiful watch and Gens sometimes have rehaut issues, too.

khurum_m Thank you for supplying the VFS to me.
When I had the ZZF V3, I thought this was it. An excellent rep. BUT now having the VFS, my vote goes to VFS.
I have not spent ages analysing every little detail of the watch. I let others do that, and I read their reviews
The ZZF is a close second. The VFS dial is more like the gen, and I have to agree that the bracelet is slightly better than ZZF. the bezel movement better on VFS.
I have taken the pictures today with my iPhone pro, lighting was not great today.
In pictures VFS is on left, ZZF on right, Gen in middle
Hope this helps. I have enjoyed reading others peoples contribution to this post.
I am sold on VFS.
Thank you all for all the insight and great comparisons.

Since you had both the VSF and GEN side by side. How do you compare the cyclops magnification?
Thank you.

Thanks, you saved me. I made ball from duck tape, unscrew back, one night at warm place, next day tight with duck tape ball, problem solved.
Next step is bezel but i need to buy some bezel remover tool first.

You are welcome.
A tool? Nay.. no such requirement. All you need is some masking tape to mask up the lugs and a thin bladed knife, the one you slice veg with will do.
Gentleman, I just received my QCs, it is S29 , everything look good, rehaut is perfectly aligned but don’t know it is a upgrade or not.
But I have a question about the date wheel, the date font is a bit go to left. What do you think ?
I really appreciate any help
Thanks

How you put it back on?
A quick vid of off and on would be cool never done it myself as well. Would like to see if I spot something with the clicksprings one watch is very stiff the other one very loose.

Not sure if I have already posted my photo here, too.
Shows the different laser, cartwheel, disco dial effects.
VSF, ZZF v3, Noob v10s, Gen.
Gen is the 2nd watch with significant lighter effect.
Bravo. Are those yours? Your assessment or opinion of which is the most genuine - looking, feeling and which is the best build quality?
Evaluation and "Winner":
- Bezel noise VSF, significantly better than the others.
- ZZF hands
- Shape of the Crownguard VSF, all others are too straight.
- crown feeling ZZF
- Green color bezel inlays are equally good for all
- Color numbers bezel inlays are equally good for all
- Teeth of the bezel ZZF a little too short, VSF a little too thick
- Pearl is similarly good except for ZZF (too greenish).
- Rehaut is different of everyone compared to Gen, preferably with ZZF (because of the position of the SN). Could be because my gen is from 2013
- Indices are similar for all, no difference to Gen can be seen
- The date font is similar in all of them, the difference to Gen can be seen
- Recessed Lugs: VSF (just about right). ZZF too strong. Noob more like a 5 digit
- Midcase is 0.1mm thicker for VSF and ZZF
- Crown on clasp VSF and ZZF
- overall gap dimensions are all similarly
- Clasp edges VSF
- Sound bracelet VSF
I will keep the VSF. Imho the only relevant upgrade would be a gen dial which is ridiculous expensive. I might think about a gen tube and crown for having a more substantial feeling when using the crown. Then maybe gen (or ZZF) hands.
I recommend a bath in baby oil for all bracelets. After that it's so much better and like gen.
