VSF will release 4 Crpo with their 8500 super clone movement
- Thread starter kobe24
- Start date
Bezel is rotatable and not misaligned, 12 is not crooked more than the other maybe 3000 watches in the VSF PO batch! All these people rejecting watches by expecting genuine stats and quality on a 300-400 dollar fake watch will in the end force TDs to raise their prices even more... only the gen dial for this model cost 2 times the price TD charge for the rep, it have the same dial feet position so it's a direct swap if you so unhappy with alignment 2 inches away in a macro photo... kind regards

Dealers are raising the prices not because of people being picky, in the contrary because they are not! of course a fake is a fake but this doesn't necessarily mean that it should be a bad/flawed one! Lods of vsf pos were nearly perfect fakes! So no! if i'm going to spend my money anyways, i'll get the best out it. Please take no offense, we just have diffrent angle of view.

Alright gents. I have received my PO orange numerals.
Brief review noting I have never seen gen and can compare to my current rep collection in terms of fit finish and overall quality.
Visually it's absolutely stunning, the dial , markers, bezel and the crystal. Can't fault it one bit.
Winding . This is probably the smoothest winding watch I have come across, it's just buttery smooth. The movement in this is incredible indeed.
Crown setting two. Hour hand moves nicely but I noticed there is slight jitter on the minutes hand as we no big deal here.
Bracelet. For some reason it felt better than my noob lmpo and or doesn't seem to hand at SEL like some have reported.
It does feel little thick however I'll give it a crack for few days to see if I get used to it.
Bezel click is solid but sounds little weird / hollow. Not sure what gen sounds like but it's nothing like the rollies
Overall for the money this is one hell of a watch, you can't go wrong with it. It's great value at 400.
Onto some pics. Will post better daylight pics tomorrow.

The jitter is on the Gens to, so no problem! In the review Gen VS vsf in this treat he said the bezel action is close to Gen, rep is a bit stiffer.
Looks very good, can't wait to get my crpo!!
I have received new QC images and I am glad to say that on the new one the 12 marker looks perfectly straight, or at least a lot straighter than the old one. The images look fine although please could someone explain whether the test results are good or not and what they show.
There is an image of the watch laying flat with a large screen behind it. On the first watch I rejected the results were:
4.1s/d
0.2ms
248 (has a small o degree symbol after it)
On the new QC images the results are
-1.5s/d
0.0ms
259(has a small o degree symbol after it)
There is then a picture of a watch in a clamp next to a screen. On the rejected watch the results were
Test: 1
Pressure: +3.0
Deformation: +127.54
Leak rate: +1.6
Ts/Tm: 67/15
On the new QC images the results are
Test: 1
Pressure: +3.0
Deformation: +75.23
Leak rate: +2.2
Ts/Tm: 67/15
If anyone could tell me what these test are and if the results are OK I would be most appreciative. Thank you.

Thanks and fair enough, its the first one I have bought at this scale so I just didn't know what to expect.
Timegrapher results would mostely be irrelative when buying a rep. The second one shows better result so take it if everything else seems to be good to you.

The thing I want to know is if this is just a winding problem or if the movement will break if u don't fix it at a watch smith? Any one? amplitude

I'm going to take a guess that the energy from winding the crown goes straight to spinning the rotor, and not the mainspring barrel. It may wear down the bearings, but you should be fine. I'd give it a shuffle to get it going instead of winding. It's what I do with all my automatics anyway as it's not advisable to wind them regularly like manual wind movements.
