Already, lugs look bad. Look how soft the edges are. Vsf cant get lugs right.... similar to their datejust 41

So true. Not sure why they can't get the lugs more defined. Even their modern 126610 sub cases have the same issue.
I love vsf but hate their rounded lugs.
The vsf daytona looks like a mix up of redone arf dial, and case to accommodate the 4130 movement.

Don’t think there is a dedicated thread yet for the VSF 116500, I saw a V+ but I don’t think that’s VSF.

Hard to tell from one photo but agreed with others on the lugs. White dial appears to be about the same as the CF V3, with the “10” in the right subdial being too close to the inner edge. Dial color is hard to tell without having other factories’ versions directly next to it though

Once you see it you can't unsee it. And literally every VS model besides the 114x series has this issue. DJ41, DJ36, OP41, OP 36, Sub 126x, now their new "Daytonas". Come on VS step it up

Are the 3-6-9 rectangles much larger than gen? Noticed the same on the clean, but could be mistaken.

The markers are longer or bigger. Additionally the beveled edges are wrong. Basically again VS has the fine details wrong from soft lugs, incorrect markers, big O coronet

Clean has it much better.... they fixed the beveled edge thickness and now you can only really see it if you zoom on 50x.

Can you please remove those stickers on lugs and show us more pics, definition of the lugs, i think the most of people want to see that



Guys i didn't have the time to remove all the stickers yet, anyway i think that is a "best buy" for the actual value! I can undestand all the "tells" that someone points out but..... Are those so noticeble with a naked Eye? Come on.... I like It and i Will keep It!

only issue I see are the curvy lugs... Otherwise looks perfect. Can't justify getting a clean for a such a higher price tag! So VSF or BTF?

Paradise! (SE Qld)
The TD system is awesome. i would never have bought my first reps without it.

Since then I have bought mostly parts from non-TD, albeit from DHG would count as watches.

For a watch <300€, I will probably give a non TD a shot to dip my toe in.

I am also glad that the mods brought Andiot in as TD. His prices are great and with TD status
Hi @Karbon74
Just looking at TD prices for a Panda, how come Andiot can supply the same watch at other TD's at a significantly lower price? Just doing my homework...
