Replica oblivion…
One of the "tells" on many of the VSF dials is the SwiSS made text at 6 o'clock.
You'll find the S text seems to be slight larger in size than the WI text . On the Gen its exact same size across all the letters SWISS.
On the VSF it kinda looks a bit like SwiSS. Its subtle but its there.

Once you see and examine it closely, it's kinda obvious.

Gen-CF-VSF COMPARISON
Interesting reply in the comments section :

The 3235 of VS has 70 hours. This movement is a long spring movement, and sometimes the error will be too large. Although the movement of Clean does not have 70 hours, it will run very stably if worn every day,

Damn…I might just buy that :oops:
They did a sneaky fix with the markers apparently
Case & lug shape spot on as well
Is this info just from recent QC’s or did they mention somewhere that the markers have been fixed now?

Just QC pics found online and personal opinion.
Most of them still come with 41 indices but apparently some don’t. And on a lot of them it’s pretty unclear because angle/lighting/resolution etc…

Just get one if you like it and call it a day.

That makes sense to be honest, the early QC's the indices did look a bit big, but I saw a few recent ones that do look to be the correct size now.

Praying most of the 41mm indices stock has already been sold off lol

I doubt they fixed the lugs they still haven’t on the 41mm
You’re right, I agree that the lugs might look a tiny bit softer with a slight bit more curvature.
But we gotta work with what we got here…
GMF got the case shape completely wrong for example. Not just the lugs.
Clean might be better but there are next to no QC pics and I’m sure there are lots of flaws with that one as well.
126234 to superrep is gonna be a looong ass way.

The worst part is that not a single one of them bothers to plate the bezel. That’s the absolute numero uno tell on a DJ.

@Warteliste what do you mean by "plate the bezel" ?
Looking at VSF against GEN the only tell that I can see are the "fat" indices/markers..
The bezel on gens is 18k white gold. On all current reps, it’s stainless steel.
White gold does absolutely not look like ss or even silver.
9k or 14k can look silver, but 18k wg always has a creamy shimmer to it.

Thanks for explaining. You are right. I thought you meant that the bezel isnt flush or something like this. Did not think of the material.
For me the difference is hard to tell. The markers altough are a absolute no-go for me.

Anone got their VSF 36mm recently? Wonder if the markers are already fixed.
