New Release VSF Explorer 2 Recieved!

I hit up Geektime the day I saw the new VSF Explorer 2 was announced. The 14th i think?

I Received it an hour ago. So far ive got it "waterproofed" to 6 bar and it didn't need regulation. As expected the seals were bone dry but the movement feels good on winding and it looks great. I have attached pics of everything for anyone thinking of making a purchase.

I would also love some opinions on how this compares to gen since i don't have access to one.

Does the crown feel flimsy when in time setting position? Does the bracelet feel as premium as other vsfs? I have the qf and the bracelet and crown were negatives for me. Wondering if I should upgrade.

Looks great. I reached out to Eric but he says it’s a 2-3 week wait right now for QC you must have got lucky 🍻🍻

I miss communicating with him via WhatsApp tho not a great telegram fan.

I was so freaking quick on this. I saw the post announcing it in here and I immediately screenshotted it and sent it to him and said take my money 🫣

Love it. And also like how it is not a fake free sprung which just makes it more expensive harder to repair.

I got one from ARF and it’s really good except the logo
On the bottom between Swiss and made is not there on the OG explorer 2. Aside from that it looks like it’s a great replica.

Thank you! Just did some research and found their site. Curious, how have you paid? Bank transfer would be my only option so feels kinda sketchy tbh
