Sorry for the dumb question, but is this the same VSF VS3135 on trustytime's TD site?

Yes it is. If you had taken the time to read from the first page you'd know that this is VSF's first foray into the world of Subs.

If however, you did read from page 1 and still asked this question then i'm very disappointed..

This entire video is worth watching. I don't understand the Chinese language but the VSF looks really impressive, especially considering that the lighting in the room is cold and bad, compared to many gen videos with the lighting of official TDs with warm and very bright light.

I ordered mine yesterday and I think I've never been so excited to buy a rep that is 80% similar to Gen.

Is it just me that noticed that when he compared the VSF bracelet with the ARF, the ARF steel appeared whiter?

Yes, he also mentioned that, but he said maybe because lighting, he do point out the vsf strap feel kinda have more weight.

I also thought that, but it is the lighting, then it changes its position and it is the opposite, the vsf looks clearer, that is due to different lights on the ceiling. I was calmer lolol

I think the vsf bracelet is most likely 316L. No matter what others might say, there is a distinct difference in color between the two, easily visible in person when put side by side.

I was also in doubt but seeing that case, the black hole glass, the much brighter bezel numbers and of course the new vs3135 movement, I already left the Zzf v3 behind although it is a good rep too. I'll go to Franken with hands, numbers disk and gen crystal. Can't say the case is 1: 1 but I think it's the closest so far.

Are you seriously still saying that? After Angus has shown that most 904L watches, that people such as yourself swore looked whiter because of 904L, were in fact 316L??

There is no visible difference between 316L and 904L. What may give the whiter appearance is the brushing

Yes I'm seriously saying that based on the watches i have bought and personally held.
Most have been arf but send me your 316l bracelet and I'll show you the proof.

You might be an amateur, but most of us have been doing this for a long time and when put side by side can easily spot the difference in color.

I'm not saying that there's no difference in the watches that you have bought. I'm saying the difference that you think is coming from 904L is actually due to better brushing, and could have been achieved whether the bracelet was 316L or 904L

Sorry but that is not the case! Brushing definitely helps but the way the steel behaves under different lighting is different. Im trying to find my old pictures from years ago.
