Here is a clarification of the mirotime regarding the vsf that was posted yesterday. He added a comparison, worth reading.

"The most recent 802B batch we have received are made from a combination of parts with 80% from VSF and 20% V6F (VSF V6F and XF are all owned by the same people and so the factories sometimes share parts)."

Sounds like parts are running shy and they are building subs from whatever is left.

Maybe there will be a fresh batch soon? Or maybe VSF will move onto repping another model. Glad I have mine before they started fitting inferior parts?

This what another user (jeka) wrote: "According to my TD: vsf and v6f are owned by one family members, so it turned out v6f has produced much more cases than they can sell, so vsf factory owner took their cases to help them release the cases they can't sell on their own
Case suppliers are different and quality is also different"

Gods own country! Yorkshire.
Just had qc from Sead with S19 serial. Looks good to me so green lighted already.

Yu told the factory that he will only accept vsf subs with the s19 and s29 serial number.
Man, seems I haven't been following this thread for the latest days and missed something. Does this serial issue goes with the LN as well? Im waiting for QC now. Could someone be so kind to direct me to the post where this discussion about the serial started?

I don’t know bud, it is from his U.K. stock. Certainly looks better than the very early example I had when they were released. Should get it Friday.

If it's from UK stock, then it's been in transit a while = away from the factory a while so safe to say that is not new stock, which is not a bad thing by the sounds of it.

When did you receive these QC pictures? Hopefully means no more 802b watches.

March 7th.
It’s an S29 with 7GJ clasp.
I don’t see much of a difference, other than noticeably worse SEL on 802 watches, but still very happy with what I got :)

In case someone is interested to know, Yu and his staff are nothing but great to deal with. I strongly recommend him.

Strange you have correct one with s19

Now there are s19 like s29. Confirmed by vsf, Jtime told me this. I got s29 but the first rejected ones were s19

another thing, I thought the vsf subs would come with the hard plastic protective watch case
