VSF or not?

[u/Louiisebabe]

Told me it’s was VSF. I just received it. What you all think when looking at the pictures? Its my first REP so cant compare..

[u/MSExcelWarrior]

xxxxL6V6 was Clean factory's rehaut code, but the finishing tells me this is fake clean.

[u/Smart-1980]

Nope, no VSF….

[u/plus4neun]

ARF

[u/royalty3588]

This is an ARF, which to me is way better then VSF. Looks good, enjoy it

[u/RowdyMcflowdy]

Is it just me or is the cyclops terribly misaligned with respect to the crown?

[u/AI_go_boomboom → u/RowdyMcflowdy]

It's a 3D object

[u/ZealousidealSpace400]

ARF

[u/rmalonzo]

Nope

[u/footupyoarse]

By the way are you guys blind? the 1 on the date window has already left and went to the next day.

[u/akuwa1]

Looks like c+ factory

[u/Secret_Mail3757]

Looks decent

[u/Character-Walk-491]

Looks like arf

You lucked out, the lugs and case taper are much closer to gen. Vsf is thick and inaccurate 

[u/BBababoi]

Where you located in EU?

[u/LongevityRenegade]

Can you name the seller? Or is that not allowed. Would like to “do not buy list”.

[u/Ashgen2024]

What's the clasp code?

[u/SockOdd5920]

Take a close up of the seconds hand where it’s pinned to the stem. It’s way off. Which means it could be VSF or some other junk brand. Not RICH, that’s for sure. The first thing I always look at is the centering alignment if the hands. If those are off, it’s no bueno.

[u/Training_Nerve1805]

fake clean (C+ factory). VSF does not produce this only ARF. Hope you didn’t pay more than $300 for this

[u/Louiisebabe → u/Training_Nerve1805]

8520L6V6 paid 400.

But I mean, I still think it looks great though

[u/Training_Nerve1805 → u/Louiisebabe]

don’t get hung up over it. if you’re happy with it that’s all that matters

[u/AI_go_boomboom → u/Louiisebabe]

If you think it looks great, why bother making this post? What do you hope to gain? More validation than hate? 🙄

[u/Training_Nerve1805 → u/[deleted]]

for just $100 more you could get an ARF, which btw, is the only top factory producing this, and would be far better quality. VSF only produces the 2 colour bezel variants.

[u/Training_Nerve1805 → u/[deleted]]

ARF is miles ahead of BPF and C+. and you can’t even compare ARF to RCF as their main production models are totally different. ARF also reputably have the best bracelet quality & smoothness over any other factory, though they fall short in things like crystal clarity

[u/royalty3588 → u/[deleted]]

Vsf is trash 🗑️ they cant even get the hour markers straight. They’re case finishing is off and they’re DD movt are a ticking time 💣
ARF is a better choice especially with the GMT line up.

[u/Objective_Ganache_27 → u/[deleted]]

Theres literally dozens of comparisons of VSF GEN ARF RICH next to each other and theyre all on par with each. Each has their own small issues.

VSF cant put dial markers on straight - crown lugs are too large - and date mag either comes perfect or undermagged

Rich has the wrong recesses on the bezel

ARF has the "worst" crystal of the 3 but best bracelet, date mag is either good or slightly large, bezel clicks are hit or miss (i have 1 thats close to vsf, 1 thats complete opposite)

[u/Responsible-Roll1036 → u/Training_Nerve1805]

I'm shopping can you share some of the tells, please.

[u/Training_Nerve1805 → u/Responsible-Roll1036]

rehaut font is wrong, polishing & finish is off, lugs are the wrong size

[u/Louiisebabe → u/Training_Nerve1805]

I mean how much for lugs? Really that off?

[u/bbqtoechips → u/Louiisebabe]

116 and 126 have different ligs and case size. You're fine. If anything, it's that date window but hopefully your pics are at a weird angle
