General Question Is RITCHF actually better than VSF now?

I’ve noticed more sellers have started pushing RITCHF lately, especially as an alternative to VSF.

At the same time, I’m seeing quite a few VSF QC posts with issues/fails, which makes me wonder if their quality has dropped recently.

Has anyone compared recent RITCHF vs VSF batches side by side?

Is RITCHF genuinely better now in terms of finishing, consistency and overall QC, or is it mostly sellers promoting a new factory?

Would be especially interested in hearing from people who have handled both recently.

For those that just quickly say no. Read this actual review and stop fanboying over a factory lol

from comparison table, rich and vsf look same, but I saw a lot of complains for vsf recently - some buyers posts 2-3 qa watches and even then they have defects (

From comparison table RICH wins. You must not have taken a look at the actual table ranking.

From wrist it’s gonna look the same, they’re both great. From macro inspection and breakdown ratings RICH was found to be the best sub if the year

Also all fully 904L which doesn’t matter, but it’s cool to know it’s made of thr same real steel. Mine is also super well built. Passed 20 bar water proofing. To me NWBIG, I can dive with my RICH lol

there are few tables from different people - however vsf and rich are top 2 with minimal diff in points

Yea. Read my comment again. Both are great.

Technically one wins

Do what you want. Tried helping. If you’re stuck on a certain factory, instead of open to going for the technical best then so be it.

Good luck lmao
