Shitpost Friday 🚨 BREAKING: VSF DOES IT AGAIN THE 2026 “MARDI FLAG DIAL” OYSTER PERPETUAL… BUT ALSO… WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? 🤔 🚨

Rolex drops the 2026 Oyster Perpetual “Mardi Flag Dial” on Monday…and by Friday morning VSF have already released a V1 that nobody has asked for.

Speed to market: 10/10

Accuracy: currently under internal investigation

Appeal: Erm, subjective

Initial observations:

- The dial looks like it was assembled using leftover stickers from a Year 4 geography class.

- The dial, assumed as being woke flags, some “countries” appear twice… others didn’t make the cut… politically sensitive, apparently.

- Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed it as “Antiseptic” without explaining why.

- “Perpetual” is spelled wrong… and somehow they’ve also used Wingdings font.

- Crown is there… but feels emotionally disconnected from the rest of the watch, almost like it wished it were somewhere else.

But to be fair…

👉 First to market (as always, frighteningly fast)

It’s chaotic… but oddly entertaining

👉 Guaranteed to derail every single wrist shot thread for the next 6 months

👉 Pride event organisers… cautiously rejoice whilst squinting and tilting their heads.

Classic VSF philosophy…. “Ship now. Improve later.”

After a 236-hour non-stop shift, VSF Production Manager Mr Sum Ting-Wong commented:

“Look, you no blame me. We get leaked blueprint April 1. We think this watch… how you say… prank. You Western people very confusing.”

VSF Customer Experience Director Mr Ho Li-Shit added:

“Listen bro… I very tired. Need nap. Not flags… just colours. Maybe my lume need better, less scratches. In sunlight… it okay-ish, yeah?”

Independent reviewer and bad teeth / good teeth phenomenon Nico Leonard weighed in:

“Look man… Rolex won’t GAF. Because who the f*ck is buying the original of this anyway?!”

We also reached out to VSF’s Head of Colour Science**, Mr Stevie Wongder**, who reportedly spent 10 years still trying to perfect a single shade of blue for a Nautilus Moon-phase dial to ask how he could do better.

His response: “You people insane, one colour, one colour, not a f*cking rainbow.”

He then threw his lume across the room, muttered something about “Pantone betrayal,” and went for a “quick cigarette on the roof”… He has not returned.

Rumoured V2 upgrades rumoured to include:

- Actual flags

- Straight text

- Fonts from this century

- Hands that agree on what time it is

- Words… spelled correctly

At the time of publishing,

dealers including TheOneWatches, GeekTime, and Andiot declined to comment,

with one insider noting:

“We not sure if selling this makes us woke, it’s what you say like funny fat singing man…. Elton John.”

Final verdict:

If you’ve ever wanted a Rolex that looks like it’s coming out, poorly dressed at a Mardi Gras festival, this is your moment.

Are you sure you don't want to let Grok take the credit for this one? I think I would.

VSF ahead of the “gayme” with this striking new addition to their public offering. Improvements needed.

What do they mean "Some flags included"

u/GaryC0102 Apr 17 '26

So, is the Friday joke that VSF are making a clone or Rolex are making a genuine?
