Hi everyone, this is Steve, I'm back.

Last year, we did a comprehensive comparison for Yacht Master 126622-0002 between GEN and relica factories.
https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...ster-126622-0002-gen-clean-vr-gm-cs.10922859/ You can click this link to view more details. You friends must know how to choose this model before, the first choice should be clean Factory. The big factory VSF has also launched this model recently, so we have more choices of this model. After all, regardless of the details, the VS3235 movement exclusively enjoyed by VSF has always been a major advantage of its models. There are more choices, then the comparison is indispensable.

As you friends requested, this time we brings a high-definition view of VSF to make a comprehensive comparison with GEN, so without further ado, let's see the performance of this model from VSF.

Front Dial View

Since the picture of GEN was taken during previous comparison, and there is no GEN on hand currently, I can’t compare it with VSF now, so no more comments on the color of the dial.

What do you guys think of the color of VSF? Or if any guy has this GEN, you can post a photo for our reference. It would be better to shoot side by side with the VSF, haha, it seems that this work should be done by Steve, please forgive me for being lazy. Rather than being lazy, it is better to say stingy. After all, it would cost a certain amount of money each time during the process of buying GEN first and then selling it. It seems a bit off topic, back to the point, let’s continue the review.

Bezel Side View

In terms of the surface treatment of the bezel, VSF still performs very well, and the graininess presented is very similar to GEN.

Teeth Side View

There is no difference with the shape of the teeth, the upper and lower sections are consistent with GEN, and the vertical brushed lines are also very obvious.

Crystal Side View

It seems that VSF changed the crystal supplier of Yacht Master, referring to the comparison of other VSF models we have done in the past, we have noticed that the edge chamfering of the crystal used by VSF is not particularly obvious. This time the Yacht Master has a layered chamfering on the edge of Crystal.

Bezel Digital Stick View

VSF does a good job for the digital shape of the bezel and the chamfering of the edges, both the outer edge and the inner edge are fully processed.

Triangular Marker View

The position of the triangular marker is precisely controlled, and the sharp corners and edges are also chamfered and rounded. Compared with GEN, it can be said to be even better.

Stick Side View

No need to say more about the dial stick, VSF still maintains the high-quality style of the big factory, and the dial stick of the Yacht Master and the submariner are same, so naturally there will be no differences.

Luminous Fill View

The graininess presented by the luminous filling on the hands and stick is very obvious, which is also a basic operation. Some factories’ filling is very sooth, which is a bit unreasonable.

Mimeograph Front View

For the fullness and three-dimensional of the font, VSF can be said to be impeccable. It is a little regretful that the red YACHT-MASTER font is a little darker, Gen is fresh blood red, and VSF is more like dark red color after blood solidification, I don't know if my simile is accurate.

Middle Axle View

The cylindrical part of the middle axle leakage is already very close to GEN, if the height can be increased a little, it will be more similar. In addition, the color of the second hand is also very good. Although the color difference still exists, it has reached the point where it can be ignored.

9e466a20.jpg
Calendar Window Side View

The cross-sectional shape of the window is consistent with GEN, and the excessive processing of the edge is also done synchronously, but it is not very obvious compared to GEN.

Calendar Font View

The centering of the font depends on QC, because even if it is the same batch of goods, the position of the displayed calendar will be shifted due to the slight deviation of the loading position of the date wheel. The VSF Yacht Master in this comparison is still very good.

Rehaut View

Whether viewed from a distance or close up, the rehaut of VSF is still clear enough, and the shading carving is also very obvious.

Crown Side View

No more comments about the crown, the shape and details are the same.

Case Side View

Just from the comparison view, the ending arc of the lug seems to be different from GEN. What do you think of the overall shape of the case?

a75e1c94.jpg

Caseback View

The smooth chamfering of the teeth of the caseback is very sufficient, and the details of each position are very delicate, whether it is a brushed or frosted area.

Endlink Side View

The assembly position of VSF endlink is still very good, if the upper edge position is more closer, it will be perfect.

Bracelet Detail View

The overall engraving is relatively clear, and there will be a lack of depth, but this is also a common lack of other factories. The quality of the engraving cannot be intuitively reflected by naked eyes, so it seems that no need to care this.

Movement View

VSF is still equipped with its ace movement VS3235. The power reserve is up to nearly 70 hours, which has always been the advantage of this movement.

Well, this is today’s post, thank you guys for watching, if there are any mistakes, please correct me. If there is anything else I overlooked, you can put it up, and I will try my best to do it complementary and comprehensive, welcome to comment and exchange!

I will continue to bring you more detailed comparisons between replicas and GEN, which is for you guys to better choose your favorite replicas.

(Note: Some photos deviate from the real object due to the angle of the light. The details are mainly written in text. The size of the comparison picture is relatively large. You can download it and enlarge it for comparison.)

There is no perfect replica, only your favorite replica.

Thanks

Steve

Only issue I really see is the sunburst and color are lacking. The rest of it is expected quality compared to gen.

The insert is a huge downside. The rest is good, but they really need to rework the insert :(

Great rep of this watch, although I have to agree with @Sir_Maxelot the insert isn't any better than the Clean insert, possibly has less grainy features with the sandblast effect. Although comparred to what used to be available in rep-world for this model, this is an amazing rep.

I have seen some friends feedback that the edge of the clean bezel is easy to blacken after fingerprints, I do not know if it is a batch problem, or all

How long have you had your Clean, if no such problems, I'm still torn between VSF and clean

For one month. It’s true that when I got it I saw some very little dirt in the bezel, like it was a tad darker. It was only in the part of the bezel from 12:00 to 13:00. I rub it with fiber cloth and it disappeared.
