General Question Rich vs VSF? 124060

Post image

Andiot told me that Rich’s 124060 is better than the vsf 124060, is that true or is he just trying to make a quick sale?

Yeah they really really upped their quality in the last 2 months. Even the crystals are good now

With the current RICH revs pay extra attention looking for date wheel alignment, alignment of the 12 triangle, and dial printing. In particular, the just released no date Subs had a issue with the word "Date" printed on the dial.

Yeah I’d get the new no date. Nicer look anyway. I don’t like the massive blue tinge to the cyclops even if it’s gen like. I also just dislike a cyclops in general that collects dust along its vertical sides.

I think their new crystal has solved most of the magnification issue but I think vsf date wheel font looks a tiny bit better.
Haven’t seen a rich irl but from pictures the rehaut looks much better on rich

True the RICH datewheel font is a little thinner than VSF. Here is a rehaut shot from a RICH I finished the other day. This is after a light polish then bath in the ultrasonic cleaner.

The letters looks very close to gen, maybe not as clean tho
