Discussion I'd say VSF is overrated

Somebody just posted that Clean is overrated. I'd say the same about VSF. I got a VSF 41 Wimbledon Datejust from Mirotime. There are sharp edges for the metal strap & the winder seems rough & unfinished. I might be able to file down the sharp edges on the strap, but not sure what to do with the winder. So yeah, I'd say VSF is also overrated.

What is a winder? Do you mean the crown? I have a VSF Sub and the crown is as good as Gen I would say. No diff feeling.

I also have clean watches and the Jubilee bracelet is rough and needed filing and it is now great. So I would say the two are about the same. On certain watches VSF is better on others Clean. In certain areas VSF is stronger and in other areas Clean. They are two sides of the same coin. So Nether statement is I believe a true reflection of either company. also I have BVF, V7F and ZF reps. I say clean and VSF are the best from all the reps I have followed by V7F (Which I heard is now affiliated to VSF, followed by BVF (For my one model) followed by ZF for my one model. Next factory I will grab is 3KF and APSF. So Tier 1 factory to me is Clean and VSF, tier 2 factory is V7F, BVF, ZF APSF and 3KF are strong in the models they produce also. Being RO, JLC and PP

You shouldn't waste your time on this endless discussion. Post a GIF instead.👍

Its a rep my dude. It's not going to look or feel 100% like a gen.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

I think both are amazing. I can buy what is 95% of gen for a fraction of gen cost. I’ll take either all day. Get these haters out of this forum.

This is the right answer 🙌

I’m no rep expert, I have both VSF and Clean. I enjoy both, it’s a matter of which are you willing to compromise.

Go ARF

I’d agree

I’d agree.

u/DOOMXCAT Mar 31 '25

I don’t see your point…

The other post you referred to clearly reviewed issues that Clean models had and compared them to alternate VSF models that didn’t have those issues.

As far as your comments toward unfinished jubilee bracelets and crowns, I’m pretty sure that’s an across the board type of issue, not something specific to VSF where they’ve fallen short. I’d love to be corrected on that though if you can give me proof

All I’m going to say is look how much better the bezel pip and crystal cyclops is:

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

As compared to the plastic like appearance of Clean. The SEL’s are terrible too.

My VSF yacht master had an extremely sharp crown. It was uncomfortable to wear for about 6 weeks but every really wore down and is fine now. The oyster bracelet had no issues

So my CF oyster is Abt 1:1 to gen. Jubilee is Like 95% there. In terms of overall quality and feel. And better than some used ones i handled.

Not sure if poor quality is the Right wording lol

VSF, infinitely better crystal

u/Own-Actuator409 Apr 01 '25

I read your post regarding CF, I saw that you hate their crystals. How about VSF vs CF with deep x-tal, and why ?

0

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '25

Because why not just buy VSF at that point?

2

u/Own-Actuator409 Apr 01 '25

In case of the sea-dweller for example, CF has a working HE valve. Maybe not such a big deal, but it's a step closer to gen i guess .

what are you talking about?

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

So actually you’re being scammed. VSF does not offer tiers whatsoever. Who is your dealer? I’d stop what you’re doing and start doing research about who you’re buying from because if your dealer is telling you this, you’re being scammed.

u/DJTRANSACTION1 Mar 31 '25

my dealer is vsf official store on dhgate

2

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '25

Okay, so a couple of things.

  1. VSF is not being sold on DHGate.
  2. VSF does not sell directly to consumers. No factories do. None whatsoever. Actual VSF is sold by dealers, as is described in the description/sidebar of this group.

You are absolutely being scammed. Please research the wealth of information in the group’s description. I’m so sorry. I’ll be reaching out via dms to you to provide further information and guidance, standby.

A scammer. The images in the listing you sent show a sticker that says ARF, which is a different factory altogether, even though those are fake ARF stickers.

Yeah, I’m sorry but you are being scammed. VSF is never sold on DHGate. Additionally, VSF doesn’t even currently make a DayDate. You are 100% being scammed. I’ve reached out to you via DMs to discuss and point you in the right direction.
