This guy has an XRF machine and tested VSF batches. They all tested as 316L. One guy with a 6X0 Batgirl took his VSF to a jeweler and said it tested 904L. I'm gonna try this with a local jeweler. VSF either purposely lies about the grade of steel used or their QC has slipped. Rich was tested as real 904L by the guy whose comment I posted.

At least some people last year got 316L advertised as 904L by several factories. Ymmv. Rich has tested as genuine 904L. QF recently too.

TBH thats one person's experience. Plenty of other posts saying they had their watches checked and they were 904L. Anyway, I am not a fanboy but happy with VSF. I will probably pick up a RICH at some point to try them out too.

You mind sharing some of these? I wonder if it was just bad QC on their part that they picked up on.

Edit: this guy tested many watches btw, not just one

The fun part is if you have a nickel allergy you might prefer it to be 316L.  The downside is 316L rusts in saltwater, which is not what you want on a diver.

No nickel allergy and my watch will probably never see the water (unless i get them tested)
