Yeah, but I’ll still be upgrading the crystal, date wheel, crown, and hands with brand new gen parts.

The crystal is great, but still not as good as gen. The DW serif is off, and the hands could definitely use that gen-like shine. The crown and tube are just a must-have.
In this case... isn't Clean a better base tbh?

Clean cases are notorious for failing waterproofing after installing gen crystals.
I thought only old V1 case had this issue. But I know the gasket always gives trouble on Clean GMTs.

Let's see how VSF stacks up (;

well, I've been reading these posts with great interest. Could not decide between the clean or VSF but I am leaning towards VSF.

The knowledge on this forum is simply amazing!

Man these pictures looks awesome. For an out of the box GMT Pepsi that requires no mods its a very very good option.

At least there is no "major" flaws that could be seen from an arms length here.

CAN THE FUCK SOMEONE TELL HOW BEZEL ACTION IS ON THOSE?😂😂😂
It's good bro. Firm and clicky. Billibilli and others have confirmed stock bezel action is good. Small sample size so far but yeah.

Thanks for posting this man. That bezel action looks very very good in the videos. I think VSF have come up with a excellent rep if the bezel is like gen as well. Not much to improve on here imho.

The bezel action was one of the biggest issues over the years for these GMTs.
From thrillofhunt who has both, he said it's better than Clean for sure but not quite there

If the bezel teeth have that same gen like polish that their submariners have then I’m in, I’ve been waiting for this

Just wanted to say thanks very much for posting this. Whilst there are some small differences. either option is a winner
