I’m waiting for the day they release 40mm Versions with VS3135 movements, I shit the bed and didn’t buy one when they came out.

£500 to look at something and play with it in your bedroom and living room ?
I’m sure for myself and many others part of the pleasure associated with reps, is actually wearing them in everyday life and enjoying them.
im not talking about attempting to pass them off as gens, but actually being able to enjoy them.
£500 for a rep that looks like a tangerine that anyone would be embarrassed to be seen wearing is just bizarre, but it’s ok because it’s a VSF.
I just don’t get all this VSF fanboy stuff, they’ve in my mind been elevated to a god like status when there are other options that in many cases are a better option.

Meh, I'll get that rep plated someday. it's just one in a collection, I don't have enough arms or days in the week to wear them.

VSF gold colour is nothing like the original in tone or warmth, they improved it slightly but it was still awful. Other factories have plating that’s far closer, but none have got it spot on.
dont know if they’ve sorted the hands on their 126613 but on their 116613 it had big fat hideous hands.

Not true bro.

So it’s clearly very true “bro”
Hope it’s the lighting in the pictures as if that’s a true reflection of the colour, you’ll be hiding it under your shirt sleeve if you wear it out of the house till you get it replated.

No no.. that was the very 1st VSF116618, bought as soon as it was announced way earlier this year. The colour is bad but I'll get it fixed, no big deal.

As far as I know VSF fixed the colour in the later batches of 116618, I have seen two examples of VSF116618 beside gen 116618 and they are near identical. Hopefully these 126's are the same.

I beg to differ, next to my gen, it looks spot on.


This is a great post. Thanks. The colours do look the same and I am not 100% sure which one is the genuine. What a great replica.

Lighting can really affect the colours in photos. A comparison like this is the best way to judge the true colour of the VSF gold plate.

Ah yep. My bad. To be honest, I’ve swapped all my watches to a gen xtal cuz well gen is gen.

Indeed. Gen crystal on that one and it would be very hard to tell.

Now that I study it. I think the CGs are a little bit off, as well as the shape/length of the lugs on the mid case… but now we’re being the nitpickers lol
