VSF:
BETTER XTAL
BETTER DW
BETTER MOVEMENT

CF:
BETTER CASE SHAPE
BETTER BLUE DIAL
VSF DON'T MAKE WIMBLEDON

The rest is pretty much on par imo.
If you buy a CF but fit a GEN xtal, you have a winner imo.
Will the CF dj41 case fit a gen bezel/xtal without modifications? Came across a few for sale that I’d jump on knowing if they would cut and paste without issue. Thanks.

Does the gen crystal gasket fit both CF and VDF dj 41 without any modification? Just read somewhere that some modders had to shave the gasket a bit, but not sure what that means

Hey members,

As you know, VSF and CF are the best players in this closed market. But, does anybody knows in which brands the one is better than the other?
I mean like for example Rolex Submariner: VSF would be better but for the DayJust CF is better. Is there someone who already has an idea?


Thank you
As to which is better is a pointless question to ask....

Which car brand is better? Lamborghini or Ferrari? Do you think that asking such a question on a car forum would help you to make a purchase decision for a certain model? Or wouldn't you instead read up on the Ferrari and then on the Lamborghini to compare them yourself and then make a decision?

What is it about replica watches that so many people ask the "who makes the best..." question instead of what they would normally do with literally any other product? 😂

The information is right in front of you. Don't be lazy, read, absorb, process the information that is freely available and you will answer your question yourself. Because what is better is a matter of simple opinion formed out of YOUR OWN conclusions, and not a matter of what is written on a stone plate hidden in the secret holy cave of replica wisdoms that only Patrons of RWI with 38 years of membership have access to. 😆 Seriously, read... Just read! There's a gazillion pages of free, but still very valuable information on RWI that you do NOT have to read all, thanks to the search function. 📖👆😉

The tells will be different between the two factories even if they use the same movement inside. It's going to come down to personal preference on what you find acceptable on your wrist.

There is also the point of the individual watch.

People say Rolex (gens) are inconsistent, so are reps.
I've got two VSF 126610's an LV and an LN.
The LN winds and adjusts smoother (and the LV is the one that's been serviced!) and it (the LN) had a better rehaut (more polished and better "engraving").
And of course I've got the Bluesey (116613LB) which is VSF again.
I didn't plan to buy just VSF I bought what was in the UK that I fancied.
The 126610LV first cause it was 15 miles away and my first good watch.
The 116613LB cause I fancied something flasher and it was priced to sell.
And the the 126610LN cause if you like subs then surely you've got to try the classic black bezel one at least once?

If I had to bet one which one would pass the most scrutiny (claiming to be gen) it'd be the 126610LN. The LV rehaut is sub par, and obv the Bluesey would not stand any scrutiny to anyone who's had/got a real two tone Sub.
In fact, in hand if you said the LV was fake and the LN was gen that arguement holds some water.

I’ve combined CF case with VSF movement. Then added Gen xtal, Gen dw and Gen crown. I must say the VSF has better shine on the bezel, but if you’re WG plating then either or.

This is VSF bezel though, my CF bezel is currently getting plated.
Where can i get gen parts for a DJ?

From my experience Cf is better once the xtal is swapped out

This thread has been helpful. Thank you to all of the contributors.

My question... I am interested in the Clean DJ 41 Fluted with White Dial on Jubilee bracelet. Jtime (Li) has offered to upgrade the CF crystal for ~$75. Does anyone have any previous experience with having Li upgrade the xtal?

Thanks again,
Napoleon Caesar

Hello! I'm wondering if this entire thread applies to the DJ36?

Someone mentioned the DJ36 in their reply but most of the other replies don't specify size

Has any tried to install gen jubilee bracelet on cf dj41? If so, any modifications required or will it fit right in?
