The strap is shit but the craftsmanship of the case is very good!

I dislike the strap that came with the watch and struggled to find a suitable! Fairly happy with this combo.
A blue rubber is on its way from Ali

Is that a different bronze buckle you sourced for this strap or the 20mm factory one?

It’s a non branded 22mm bronze buckle ! The factory buckle is too small for this strap.
Perfect. I've been looking for aftermarket bronze buckles for a 22mm strap. Where'd you pick this one up from? Thanks man!

How would you remove bronze patina without risking lemon juice and what have you getting in to the watch?

A glass of 7Up works great for me! Leave the watch in for 45 min - check - leave in for another 45 min! Good to go.
I just wouldn't want any fluids to get in to the watch, you think the watch will handle it?
My 1074 arrived today and WOW its a great quality piece. Noted flaws aside, I am ecstatic this is now part of the watch rotation. Mounted a gunny strap to it... Love it!

What the size diffenrwce between the “small bronzo” to a 671?Hi there,
the little Bronzo is pretty cool. For me, a nice alternative to the large models. The dial looks really great. A very attractive blue fits very nicely with the bronze case.
As usual from VSF, the watch is very well made and runs after a small "entrance treatment" by my watchssmith approx. 5 seconds + a day.
As cool as I find a 382 or 968, these are already big things and due to the bronze case also sack heavy. For me, the little one is a perfect alternative to the big 671.
Speaking of the "small one" ... the watch is not that small. In direct comparison to a 44, there is hardly any difference.
As already discussed, the clock has a few flaws. The Chinese installed their well-known P.9000 Clonewerk and simply brushed P.900 on it
But why they wrote 31 stones on it and not correctly 23, remains their secret
The original 1074 also has a slightly different lume. It's completely monochrome here. With the Rep, the minute hand is blue, as with many other PAM's. Great idea, but does not match the 1074
The thing with the Lume personally does not bother me at all and if I am honest, it is also good that the P.9000, which has matured over the years, works here and not something vulnerable new.
So, overall a very nice watch

Its the 1074, 1070 and the 671 (?). Basically you have 42mm / 44mm / 47mm

Thank you 
jeez you guys are so knowledgable it’s insane!!
What are the “usual” price point for these three and how easy are they to get your hands on? (Doesn’t have to be VSF but could be ZF or the one with an “X” in the name)
