AM I the only one seeing this? The color lume which VSF is using is off. On GEN the color is clear white! On ALL VSF models, it is more slightly greenish. You can tell it is a VSF just by looking at the lume color in bright daylight.

Did anyone tried to mount a gen crown and tube to the VSF PO?
I just f***ed up my crown or the tube.
but I was lucky and got a gen tube and crown at ebay. Now I have to wait for delivery (CONUS to EU).
might it fit, or did I spend money for "a dead horse"?

Pretty sure the keyless mechanism in the clone movement is from a 7750. You can get a 7750 stem and try out the crown on it. They should go together if they are the same thread size. Whether or not the gen crown fits to the VSF case precisely I don't know.

Parts arrived today and looking pretty good. It might fit. I will send watch and parts to my watchsmith next week. And then we'll know exactly.

Damn it. It was a crown for 45mm CrPO. So it is lighty bigger in diameter. It seems, I have to look again for a gen crown and tube.
and I learned something - never trust the seller, when he says "it fits".

Mille M lol makes sense. Just wondered about silent changes like yellow lume, misprinted dials etc. If its not the current talk at this time, quality might just go out the door. Very tempted now. With all the buzz around all the new subs I find myself gravitating towards these

Mille M very nice. The 2018 SMP 300m’s lume changed from almost correct white, to kinda yellow, back to white but with yellow hands. The ceramic version’s dial is misprinted on the V2, so VSF definitely isnt consistant from release all the way through. This CRPO has been around 2 years now, so I am sceptical everything is still exactly the same. Would be nice to see pics of one that was order within the last two months or so

The place to find recent QCs is Reddit’s RepTime, though the 8500 PO doesn’t seem to be that popular anymore, just taking into account the amount of QCs for other models.

Here is one from three months ago:
