In direct full sun it warms up pretty good but still stays well within the yellow range

We can't tell the colour from my pics above, when I point the phone camera at it, it changes the colour from orange to yellow. The fact is, in the flesh this VSF is orange, dark orange and it's not very nice to look at because of it. I think I'll see if I can get this one gold plated (with real 18k gold).
Nikz19 does awesome plating

He showed me some of his work which was awesome and I currently have my wrapped BP Daydate with him for a full replate.

Yeah, BP yellow gold colour is very attractive. A real joy to wear, for me, at least.
I talked to a few guys with the VSF Twotone DJs and their view was a little disappointment in the VSF yellow gold colour when they received their watch because they say it is orange. All planned to sell, in order to nab a stainless model instead.

Fair, that’s actually a pretty decent effort by BP. I have a VSF Omega Two tone and it’s actually a really accurate representation of Omega’s Segma Gold. So VSF is capable, somethings just gone terribly wrong with this release.

Agreed bro. It's a surprise to a lot of us I think because of how well they've done so many other things in such a short time. I can't see them not changing their methods or their plating vendor, unless their much larger local market buys these in volume anyway.

It’s lovely mate, I’m wearing mine just now. It’s a VSF116610 turned up to 18. It has a nice feel to it, just a bit dark/brass like but I still love it. It convinced me that I need a real one..

Here are some qc pics of my 116618LB from vsf.
How good is the Gold Color in comparison to gen? I have looked at Chrono24 and there are some watches who are looking more yellow as mine and some who are looking really flat.
