Btw did a side by side with ARF hands and although I already knew they were the best, this confirmed it

I’m gonna go ahead and assert that vsf bracelet is super gen like... the beveling of the edges, clasp looks almost exactly the same as gen, tolerances are tight, bend the arm on the clasp and you have a more gen like click... not sure if glidelock uses plastic but it slides like a dream...

What do you say about the First Link gap. Wich is more accurate to gen, Clean-ARF or VSF?
Do you have a gen pic in that same position?

Did you install the gen crystal B25-295-car-c1 or b25-295-c12-c1?

The correct one is b25-295-c12-c1

If you’re in uk/EU I have one I got for the VSF but I didn’t keep it, I’m going to post on m2m

Why aren't you keeping it? Do you think the VSF is comparable? I examined a gen 6 digit sub yesterday and I don't think the VSF is as good. Something about a gen cyclop and the black hole that sets it apart.

I think he meant he didn’t keep the VSF watch that he got the crystal for.

Correct.

There’s no substitute for Gen xtal tho the vsf and zf are very nice for a stock Crystal.

Hi guys, does your vsf outer clasp (flip lock) have a spring mechanism like the Noob V11? Trustytime calls this the ‘noob V11 spring mechanism clasp’. My vsf does not have this though.

Vsf clasp is genlike construction the lever definitely has a spring inside. Nobody is sure yet if the glidelock uses plastic sliders or not tho
