I’m trying to see if VSF made 3d-looking hands on this.
On their Omega reps, the hand finishing was always rough and poorly finished. So I hope its not the case for this Model.
They might not have the 1000% consistency of Omega, but there's nothing "rough" about them you'd ever see with the naked eye or at lower magnifications. VSF does an awesome job on their Omega reps!

IMO Aqua Terra hands are bad! As bad as the Noob sub hands finishing. (Talking about the rough edges of the hands)
Havent gotten a SMP but based on your pic it is noticeably better!

I've got 9 VSF Omegas and the finishing on one of them is visibly poor to the naked eye - very obviously so when the light hits it at a certain angle - so I think there was definitely a bad period or bad batch at some point.

I'd say you've just been lucky enough not to have a bad set.

Is it my video resolution or does that date wheel font look a bit thick?

It replicates the 2010-2015 date font. But newer wheels are thinner. A promising looking watch.

Common on most reps not that I noticed in any subs though. Sides of noob Daytona hands can have rough edges my v3 and v2 did, my ZF tudors have now and have done in past. Like yellow fin said the aren’t going to hand finish them.

Some ADs actually let customers sign waivers where they agree to not get the warranty card handed out for two years after purchase. Obviously an approach by R Factory to screw they grey market...

Yep my friend had to wait 12 months for his.

Maybe reps aren't your thing then. Get a gen, they do the hand polishing you're asking for...

Hmm this has been a very typical line.. asking for 3d-looking hands is probably too much. Just hoping it doesnt have the visible rough edges on this VSF sub model thats all. So far I have’t noticed it yet which is good!

I know what I am talking about though. Many reps have excellent hand finishing, not perfect(obviously) but definitely higher than average. Eg. ZF JF ap royal oaks, zzf arf subs
For VSF Aqua Terra’s, it is definitely below average.

Isn’t this promotional price? What’s the expected retail again?

$428 is the usual price. Special price is via a discount code shown on the banner at my website.
