It's almost as if 'SWITZERLADN' is deliberate, as a joke. I mean, once you see these things you cannot unsee it, I'm going to notice this everytime I look at it for the time.. and when i'm out for dinner, the waiter is gonna know it's a rep as soon as he sees the 16600 on the inside of the caseback.
I don't mind a couple of flaws/tells, but one so obvious that literally everyone can see it (lol) is just being silly. Then the misspelling, that's a either stupid or deliberate mistake.
I think I can forgive the watch though, I'm looking forward to it, even if the gold is the wrong colour (tbc), it's not as if i'll be wearing it often, it's just for looking at / playing with really and dreaming about what it must be like to have to real one..

The gold color on these looks excellent to me. I've had a dozen or so rep YG's in hand (still holding 8) and this is the color I would want if I were tweaking the color wheel.

Oh boy these look NICE!
Now let me see.. £30,000 or £330 + shipping? Hmmm.. I just can't decide.

Wow that gold actually looks pretty solid in real lighting conditions. I may have to pick this up soon.

In my opinion it looks like some sort of filter was placed on the photos. This would obviously skew the gold color.

What are members thoughts on these two versions vs the VSF? I know the wrapped vs plated, but I can’t seem to find a review of the ROF or VRF wrapped. I do wish the ROF and VRF had the better movement. I don’t really understand why VSF is hit and miss on the wrapped and movements on the watches.

The Gold color in those is quite near the pictures of jtime and doesn't have that very yellowish tint on the last photos from reddit.
Wrist_Reps (the guy from reddit that made those pics) said he'll make some daylight images today but it seems he got stuck at lunch

That gold color is not accurate - even the lume plots look yellow.
I bet this is much closer to how it actually looks
I sure hope so.
