VSF Yacht Master 42 (Full Review after months of usage)


Material : if you want the most gen like replica on the market you should skip this watch or any copy which the genuine is different from stainless steel. The genuine reference for this watch is white gold, so this means that any jeweller or anyone who knows the appearance of white gold would call you out or notice you don’t wear a gen. But if you don’t work in a jeweller or watch shop or have any friends who know the light difference in colour you’re fine.
Vote: 7/10

shape: the shapes of the watch are amazing, it is really improbable to notice the difference from the genuine item, unless you compare side to side with the genuine and stare at it for 10 seconds knowing which is the gen you’re fine.
9/10

Bracelet: I compared genuine Oysterflex from a Daytona to this and actually I notice no differences. To me it is a clearly 10/10 on Oysterflex strap replication.
10/10

Clasp: Clasp to me isn’t right at all, glide lock doesn’t feel as genuine, sharpness is nothing like gen item. Even actually the “catfish” thing on the buckle is totally inexistent but overall decent and sufficient, you can’t notice the difference unless you look closely and have the item on your hand to compare or you’re used to genuine watches.
6/10

Bezel: the bezel rotation is really smooth, not completely smooth as the genuine but you can hardly feel the difference. The ceramic, and the shape of the bezel look genuine even side to side.
9/10

Crystal: Crystal is amazing, VS Factory has the best not gen Crystal on the market on my experience and this for me is the most important point since the most important thing about the watch is reading the hour. Really light difference side to side with the gen but nothing important unless you’re looking for perfection.
9/10

Movement: As anyone says and I’m gonna confirm it owning some gen 3235 calibres. VS has the smoothest clone movement on the market. Feeling, charging and battery time are gen like.

Just ordered a 226659 and, after I get it, it will be going straight to @Nikz19 for plating.

Can I please check . I’m 18.2cm wrist size but do I get strap called E+F Which is 17.3-18.2cm or F+F which is 18.2-19.2cm. I don’t want the watch to be too loose or too tight - I’m not sure how adjustable these straps are etc.

Please help.

Same wrist size as me
The EF is ideal


I just bought one M2M and can confirm all the above the glidelock is wanky compared to the VSF subby I have :(

Without doing any research whatsoever could someone tell me...could I do a straight swap from a VSF 126610LN onto the OF blades?

Did anyone confirm if you can swap a VSF 126610LN glidelock onto the VSF 226659 OF blades? If not, does anyone have a source for a replacement glidelock for the VSF 226659?

While not a VSF clasp, I messaged Ctime before to see if I could purchase a CF YM 42 clasp to replace my VSF YM 42 clasp, and he said they could get CF 226659 and 226658 clasps for $75 plus shipping.
