The SL-4801 Daytona must’ve flown off the shelves.

They sound to be great alternatives for a lower price. Both the ETA clone and the Rolex clone are excellent movements, so both are great options.

Wondering if the no date is coming up . Would snag one in a heartbeat for the price

Is esactly the same quality? Only the movement is different?

Yes, at least that's currently announced. But due to the different movements, a few other components need to be modified as well (like the dial) to cope with the A2824 movement. We will see how they turn out.

It’ll be the same externals. But the eta clone requires a spacer, different hands, and dial feet placement. I have an older version of this watch (116610) and it’s identical externally to the vsf116610.

You mean the RXF 116610?

 

[Mjh2k4]

Yep

 

[j-unit]

Yes, that's a great watch It's still my daily beater.

Only downside in all RXF I had in my hand was the quality of the bracelet being lower quality than VSF bracelets.

 

[Mjh2k4]

I don't notice a difference in hand between the two. However, the real play is to buy a Ginault bracelet!

Isn't the regular version with clone movements almost the same price from reputable non rwi td?

Trustytime told me all except movement is same.
JTime told me less details and other material, I guess 316l.


So you all take it with a grain of TD-salt.

Its cheaper than from TD, but not THAT cheap. NonTD want 200usd shipped insured for those new ones..

 

[Jaguat1289]

Should be the same quality except the movement, Will see... I ordered a LN

Its still 150usd less lol, i can almost buy two for the price of one

 

[Mjh2k4]

I’d say:

1) No real difference between 316 and 904 on wrist for a rep.

2) VSF have already been caught using 316 anyways weren’t they?

That's always true?

I remember PT had tested a bunch of factory years ago, but they still sell as 904 and provide 316?
