I agree it's a matter of taste and you have to discover that for yourself. Tastes change over time, sometimes significantly.
Personally, in terms of DJ I'd be happy with both vsf and clean, the quality is high for both products. Vsf has the better movement. I have a clean 41mm (better case shape, they say, who'll really notice though?) and it's a beautiful watch.
Last, try other TDs and ask, the VSF 36mm fluted bezel should be available:
Hello, I don't know if you answered me too
I would prefer VSF for the best movement, but VSF does not produce the silver dial that Clean produces and which I like best. I've read that someone suggests taking more standard colors as blue is less faithful than the gen.
I remembered that you had a GMF, does the Clean give you more satisfaction now?
