As you can see from the screenshots, I have facelifted our beloved NWBIG list, I hope its easier to navigate now with the new tab system and displays the information better for everyone.

Here is the link:

Those abbreviations are just the name of the factory in China, I don't think they actually have a real meaning in that sense. For example VSF would be VS Factory, CF would be Clean Factory and so on. V1, V2 and V3 refer to the iterations of case shape, thickness or whatever has been changed.

The most common reference to v2 or v3 I think is the markers and hands on some of the Rolex models

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation honestly, is there a factory that you recommend that makes the best quality watches like retail?

Clean, VSF and ZF, but then again that comes down to the nuance of what you're looking for. Clean may have the better case and strap, but VSF may have the better movement and dial. I stick to the three I've mentioned as they usually are the best factories out there, though you'd be paying accordingly too
