I don't think it will be a big deal unless you use the gmt feature a lot. On my 297 which is a 24hr gmt i barely even notice it.

Just got my VSF today and I love it. The only issue I encountered was when I twist the crown, it seems to drag at the 2pm and 8pm positions and then spin freely again. It feels like its getting stuck against something but then frees up. Anyone have experience with this kind of issue?

Also, what do you all think of the strap? Anyway to soften it up? Coconut oil or leather conditioner?

Thanks!

Indeed, the rotor is too loud IMHO. One fast swing with your arm and you can hear the watch from 1.5 meters away...lol
What can we do to silence the rotor? Anyone?

get it disassembled and lubricated by a watchsmith will help. but it is normal for movements based on valijoux 7750/53 due to the rotor unidirectional charging.

Oddly enough my rotor is very quiet. Quieter than the Swiss ETA thats in my BK Hulk.

That would be lovely to know....

Hope that some expert can answer to this question.

I have ordered my 441 from Ryan yesterday (waiting for the QC pictures).

Anyone having any AR issues on the 441 yet ? I have just received one from M2M and the crystal has the AR on the exterior of the crystal scratching off and ruined.
Ive not seen this on the AR of a watch this bad before.

Have not had any issues of scratching off. In fact I was rather impressed with it's durability given the places I had knocked into.

The 441 should only have AR on the inside of the Crystal. Unless you purchased one that has been coated by a moder like Prof.

IMG_3492.JPG IMG_3496.JPG IMG_3497.JPG Odd,
I bought it for someone on the forum and it seems to have it on the exterior of the crystal.
I'm struggling with how to upload on this site, I'd love to post some so people can see. So it may not show up below. I was very surprised, not holding the seller responsible or anything, as he was straight up with me and said he don't see it and I believe him. It's hard to see so You have to look and it appears as smudges on the crystal but it's actually into a coating on the crystal. I'm just trying to see if anyone else has had the issue as I too thought it was only inside.
Cheers !

I got my watch back, it was serviced by @Harleysta91 and he make a great job!

Now the rotor is quiet, you definitely cannot hear it when the watch is on your wrist.
You can hear it just if you move the watch very very close to your hear.

No way another person can hear it if in the same room with you (like before the service).
