Looks like thinner than gen funny enough at 14.25 rather than 14.36. 9000 labeled as a 900 is a bit disappointing but I’m glad they atleast have the proper thickness.
Edit: is gen 13.6? When I researched it online some claim 14.36. I’m confused now…

I think hardly anyone seriously expected VSF to launch a new work. And better too thin than too thick. I'm certainly not disappointed; only the caseback is a nuisance, of course.

The VSF PAM 1074 looks great in the front. Wish they had some modification to the movement to look closer to the gen.

arrived this morning, looks nice

Can you confirm what’s the color of the bezel pearl? Looks like white/light green while I think on gen is close (if not even the same) as dial marker color.

Comparing photos with gen, it is true that the gen pearl is more yellow, the same color as the dial indices
The VSF is more ivory white, but this doesn't matter to me, the rest of the watch looks great

I guess that at this point that has been released members will appreciate as much as possible nr. of photos even if they look all the same. Here are from two different sources mostly taken from the same angels



Wow - that lume colour really looks on point. A definite improvement on the lume of the 968.

It was one of things I was most concerned about but seems like they’ve done a good job.

Yeah, the bezel pearl is off - that’s annoying.

Well from these photos, the pearl color is yellow and doesn't seem far off from the gen.

did it only come with the blue rubber strap? I guess the leather strap would be crap anyway and must be exchanged, but would be nice to know if it's included.
leather strap comes together, but you are right, its rubbish...I plan to make one for myself this weekend.

its light yellow, not really close to the dial maker color, which I think looks just nice on the bronze bezel.

I have access to a gen. Debating getting one and doing a side by side comparison. Or if someone wants to send me theirs for comparison, let me know.
