Yep. I'm very happy with mine. Yeah dial is a bit darker depending of the light, but I don't care.
The only things I care is.. this is a 40k + watch.

Im talking about rolex. Probably only the NTTD has several versions but besides v2 from vsf are practically non existent
They are still quite new and first Rolex from VSF but definitely there will be updated versions no doubt in that.

Quite new? They been in the game for 4 years already and now that zf is momentarily out of the game they are probably the biggest factory. Factories are done with the 116xxx and the smurf is not even a popular watch. In my opinion this release is as good as it gets and there's no need for a v2.

No mods, only rep I can say I feel 100% great about OOTB.
The dial is darker than the bezel. You dont care ?
I would say a gen dial could be a very good mod.

At certain angles the dial will match the bezel in color. I noticed this yesterday while in the sun. I actually looked into getting a gen dial for it but you're looking at 2 to 3 grand at the moment where I was searching lol I'll pass.
the watch is very good looking but you can easily see the difference or colors. (Different blue)

It looks great. Any hue difference between dial and bezel is likely due to the angle of light when the pho was taken.

There are quite a few dark gen 116619LB dials out there, especially in the last few years of the model's run. Look how dark some of these are.

Even ye olde famous Noob V7 dial can look dark sometimes
Just finished refitting mine with a gen Swiss ETA. Better shot of accurate dial color.
Back in the case, the Noob bezel color is a good match. Lighting is warm incandescent. This is very close to how it actually looks.
Any of the older Smurf rep dials (Noob, BP, JF) would be a far smarter choice than a gen dial for the VSF IMO. Feet would have to be modded for the 3135 but no biggie. Or just love it for what it is.

I did notice this too. Just googling 116619 images there's quite a few with the same shade of blue as the VSF.
