VSF Upcoming Yachtmaster 226659 with Asian 3235 Movement

I have no clue lol... I think the watch only comes with 1 default set, you do not have options.

4PX was the shipper... took 10 days to reach me in CONUS from China.

What are your initial impressions? I get mine in 3 weeks so the anticipation is killing me!

Sorry, what does conus mean. I got mine a week or so ago and it’s very impressive. I told my TD I have 18cm wrist and it fits perfect just before end of max adjustment

It’s a really well done rep. Feels nice on the wrist. Sure beats dropping $30k on a gen. Overall I like it a lot. It lacks a little on the weight side and doesn’t feel as “gen” as my GMT’s but it should make most buyers happy.

As far as the size of the watch goes...Personally I feel as though 40-41mm look best on my wrist. 42 is probably going to be my max. Tried 44mm and they’re too big for me.

Outstanding, sounds like a stellar OOTB rep. Tell me more about your GMTs!!!

1.)“ROLEX” logo printing is thicker than the gen
2.)Seconds hand has some marks/dirty
3.)Hour and minute hands yellowish than compared to hour markers?(not sure)
But still, the best version atm

1 - Printing looks the same.
2 - I have extra clean hands on mine (even checked with a loupe) - it might be a reflection
3 - Hour and minute hands are in fact whiter than the hour markers, but only under some lighting conditions.

Only real "tell" on this watch, for the watch freaks like us, it's the lugs polishing/shape and the cyclops (nothing beats a gen cyclops).
But it's an amazing piece of watch, with a price almost 50 times less of the gen...

I have a little rough screwing crown.
Does anybody know if this YM has the sane tube as other models which use a 704 crown?

The strap connected to 6 o’clock lugs is “D”. The strap connected to 12 o’clock lugs is “F”.

I received mine last week. I love how it looks on the wrist. BUT it does feel cheap to me. Perhaps its the weight difference that I am not used to. The REP weighs in at 114 grams wheras gen precious metal GENs weigh 150G+

I would view that as more comfortable

I hear ya, I believe the gen is 170+ grams. For comparison, that’s the same weight difference between an AP Diver in steel, and an AP Diver in forged carbon....pretty significant.

What would you improve for V2?

How? Gold plating? Maybe hands?
Only thing they can improve is the polishing and maybe the cyclops (despite the fact that this crystal and cyclops are already the best, out of the box).

All the rest is spot on, even on such high magnifications.
On the wrist it's darn difficult to spot the fake.
