Vsf / xf sea dweller now comes with vs3235 !

[Vi-Lo]

Hello folks, need Your help with one specific detail. I have just received QCs for SD43 XF. Id like to know what u think about "30" marker on the bezel insert. It seems offset to the left. One of my other watches had a similar issue and for this very reason I have never worn it, it was really annoying.\

Would agree i think - but maybe it seems more than in RL because of the angle the pic is taken in…
But the 30 marker is clearly set off to the edge of the bezel insert IMO

It's hard to tell because of the angle of the picture. You'd need to see the watch straight on to be able see if it's actually off set or not. What model is this anyway? The VSF with the 3235 or the XF? It's seems the '1' in the '1220m' has the correct serif..?

My bad, its the VSF with 3235, actually on other photos it seems even further to the left, if we disregard that its also close to the edge than the rest.

 

[Deepseadweller1989]

Yeah now I see it. I'd reject it in that case. Rest of it looks good though!

Thanks for the help all, will post again once the GLed one arrives.

It’s fine - the watch is tilted slightly to the left - look at the rehaut.

If I use rehaut reference it's even worse.

I disagree. The inserts are all going to be the same. You’ll probably get back another shot from a SLR which removes the galaxy fisheye / distortion and shows it straight- that’s normally what jtime do.

Hopefully, You are right, let's see when the non-tilted photo comes.

Here is the pics comparison of my 2 SD43; XF of January 2022 with gen crystal and last VSF VS3235 stock. I’m waiting for another one assembled with ARF parts and VR3225 (they say).
You can see are pretty the same. But gen crystal does everything; reflexes, transparency, magnifier and dial color.

 

[Plenitude]

I also had an arf from the beginning of 2020, I don't remember if V3 or V4, but as good as the crystal may be, I don't think it can be better than the vsf which, however, is known for having the best crystals. So I tell you I was lucky, but if you can find a gen crystal, don't miss it.

 

[Vi-Lo]

@Plenitude Thanks for the comparison!
Is it possible that the only update on the dial is the serif of the “1”?
And the polish between the bezel teeth looks a notch better on the updated VSF, but could be the lighting too…

 

[Plenitude]

I can confirm the 1 serif on the vsf.
About the bezel teeth i have this pic, but the focus is not the same

and the quality of the strap

Absolutely not seeing that. And crooked markers drive me nuts, too.

To me, based on that one photo, this watch is a definite GL.

Is it only me, or everyone else are having trouble seeing these photos?

I shouldn't drink and post. I was looking at the 30 dial marker completely missed the words ""30" marker on the bezel insert".
Sometimes I amaze even myself. Sorry mate.
Yes, it looks off to the left to me, too.

Sorry, I don't understand which photo you are referring to

Your previous post states photo comparison between watches, but there are no photos linked to the post. Or i simply cant see them on my phone.

Thanks for the feedback, the more I look at it, the worse it gets.
