With VSF you need to spend 700 EUR for gen hands and date wheel to make it look like ZF and ZZF OTB and you still have the bad rehaut.

What’s with the dw obsession? Every VSF dw anyone has posted after like mid-October has been perfectly fine. The worst people have to say about it is that if you look at it under 1000x magnification it’s not as crisp as gen. Am I missing something here??

Its not a "Problem" they used a Gen with service hands to replicate we had that all in the other thread. ZF and VSF both have problems so its just childish to defend any of them. Gen Rolex with Service Hands looks like that, no idea why Rolex is using different hands on there watches but after seeing the dial thread with 10 different dial layouts i think even Rolex dont know what they are doing lol

There is no "silent" update, VSF is just using 2 different case suppliers, one with the correct rehaut and one with the wrong one, you just need a lot of luck to get a good one. Same with the non fat datewheel etc and hands. VSF is just throwing everything in what they have.

This was the QC I got and the whole package the R, the hands and date were a bit too much for me.

It's probably from the earlier batch so might be fixed by now,

Alright, yeah, I'll grant you that this dw printing is trash. But it doesn't seem to be a widespread or continuing problem. The rehaut and hands on the other hand.... one card short of a full deck, this version

With spending some money for Gen DW I think this watch comes a big step closer to Gen ;) that’s the first thing you see on any Rep out there the fat DW :D

He also said ‘his 126610’ didn’t have AR on the crystal, so observation skills / punch of salt and all that...

Yeah also he said that the ZF hands are better than the ARF hands but the first thing he did was change the hands to Gen lol i remember

When guys say the R Is not right do they mean the R on the rolex on the dial? I mean they seem ok with all the pics ppl are posting?

how is the braclet on this? Doing some
research i found its not the arf bracelet but only the clasp

I like the shape and the feeling of the clasp. I don't like the endlink of the bracelet. On my view in the middle of vsf endlink look rounded. The Gen endlink look sharp.

Rehaut on my accepted QC from InTime

This is also one area they should improve with V2.

The dark polished grey edge is almost missing it should look like the engraving is dead in the middle of the polished area not on the upper side. From the above pic it looks actually quite bad like the rehaut on the lower end reps perhaps its just the lighting or different case batch as I remember seeing pics where its quite good on VSF also.

Gen:

ZF and ZZF have got that quite good and gen like (ZZF only with V3).

Just for comparison.

Don't have that kind of pic with ZF unfortunately.
