JVS lugs are thicker, it won't bother everyone though. As long as the bezel works well, haha!

VSF in brighter green

Thanks prof, okay you can also see it with the naked eye .. we hope they work on it for the next versions, plus this one of hont in stock and on offer, it could be v1. however for me this is not a big problem ..

by the way, I'm a lover of 11xxx and not 12xxx, you should see the fins if they change

What's the weird blob between the 57 and 58 minute markers ? It's visible in 2 pictures. Is it on the watch face or is it some reflection ... ?

Honestly, these VVSF don't look too bad at all. We all just have been spoiled by VSF:lol:
VSF won't come back and it is a fact

I think you are right.. but who is buying and using cases from the same supplier that VSF got their cases from? These machines and tooling still exists.

Bracelets and clasps all seem to be spot on today, dials and hands are good, crystals can be over come, movements can be swapped out.. but both Clean and JVS have too fat, too short lugs for a 126610 Submariner. Do they share the same case?

Perhaps it’s the skilled workers of these machines that are the missing link currently.

Ok mine arrived about 30 minutes ago. First impressions Compared to VSF. Scallops on the bezel are smaller. Winding is butter smooth like vsf. Date font to my eye every so slightly thicker, but not noticeable. My top Sels are not as recessed as they should be. Bezel is tight with nice crisp clicks and even sound. Everything else to my amateur eye is ok for the money from Hont. I’ll see how accurate it is and use it as my daily and keep my vsf for special occasions. I see that the RF Crystal is sitting a little high. I believe the JVS is spot on.

I had a clean but sold it after just have it for a few days. Don’t get me wrong it was good, but if I had to choose between I still keep the JVS. Just my view.

again as some have said we were spoiled with VSF.

love the forum and info I learn every day. Thanks and enjoy.
will let you know about the timekeeping.

Thanks for this quick review. Please, when you can add some photos too?

As requested some pict

 

[KJ2020]

Thanks for the pics bro. This looks pretty good to me next to an actual gen. Lugs and CGs are a little too thick but that won't be noticeable to many on the wrist away from a gen. Very nice crystal.

In this pic the rep is tilted to its top and to its left so you can't see the top left lug tip fully.

 

[Carrick1]

KJ2020 good man nice job. For the money I thinks it’s spot on. And the Crystal is seated nice, not height like the Picts I see of the RF.

Thrasher

 

[GGEuroHEADSHOT]

Thank you for these comparison pics to gen. The lugs to me are what pops out like KG said. CGs too but I can get over that, beautiful watch.

 

[Thrasher]

Just for reference here are some genuine pictures

Honestly... I had a gen Hulk and a VSF Hulk in my hands. No Factory is able to come this close like VSF... I mean yeah, the Dial was a bit off but the overall feel, DW, Lume.. everything was perfect.

Rehaut is kinda wokky.
