Are the vsf lugs fat or is it just the angle? I mean it would be out of character for vsf
The crystal looks better than the Gen(VSF on left)

Take a look at the detailed pics on page 1. The lugs are fine.
Anyone else noticing that the beveling on the crown for the inside edge or, case facing edge is much closer to gen on the VSF? is this a nonissue on the wrist - that separation and bevel just seems flat almost on the clean?
From the gap on the pics, and the delicate nature of the Pepsi inlays, i will 99% say it’s glued in
If you look at the jubilee inside/center links in the pic you can see 2 of them on the right and 2.5 of them on the left. I think the left side is propped up just a tiny bit more. Definitely interested in other opinions.

You are probably right. A lot of them have lug gap issues so I thought this might had something to do with it but probably not

That's a bummer..would be perfect if it's pressure fit but you're most probably right.From the gap on the pics, and the delicate nature of the Pepsi inlays, i will 99% say it’s glued in
@steve_theonewatches any info on that whether the bezel is glued in or pressure fit on the VSF?

Steve has already noted that VS glued them in, as pressure fitting raises the damage risk and the inserts are expensive. Still, we can’t tell the difference, so enjoy
IMHO this is a feature not a bug. When the watch arrives and the alignment isn‘t quite right, options are limited if it’s pressed in.Steve has already noted that VS glued them in, as pressure fitting raises the damage risk and the inserts are expensive. Still, we can’t tell the difference, so enjoy
When it’s pressed in there’s a med/high risk of cracking the insert when removing.
When it’s glued in, a bit of isopropyl alcohol and you’re well on your way to realigning the insert.
I got my tracking number earlier this morning and confirm my name and address were correct. Just a couple of minutes ago I went back and took a another look at the picture of the watch and had a mini heart attack.
It's probably the packaging but am I seeing things or does this not look like a Batgirl? After I zoomed way in I could see the red on the 24-hour hand so all good.

I believe you can already order them with Oyster. Puretime has them listed at least.

I think the red your seeing is lettering on the packaging, fingers crossed for you it is a PepsiI got my tracking number earlier this morning and confirm my name and address were correct.

dumb question and no clue about pepsis - ive been looking at pictures for around 30 minutes now and I cant seem to find the difference between a pepsi with a bezel lip and without one. Is it really just that there is a gap between insert and outer bezel?
To me it looks like this has a lip for example?

When i asked Steve the One last week he said that VSF is working on adding the Oyster soon but they weren‘t immediately available. Puretime added them to their website on June 19 as a “PreOrder”
Looks like a red GMT hand right above the date.I think the red your seeing is lettering on the packaging, fingers crossed for you it is a Pepsi
I double checked with them and they verified it was the one I approved the QC photos of.
Am I crazy or are both VSF and Clean better than gen? The finishing on some of the gen parts look bad in comparison

Gen is a used watch/disassembled by many factories and subject to little care. That's why it looks bad
