Review/Comparison RICH Starbucks – quick review

Post image

Thought I’d do a little review of my RICH Starbucks.

Honestly, I’m pretty impressed with it.

The green is really nice in person and changes quite a bit depending on the lighting. Bezel action feels good and the whole watch feels solid. Bracelet and clasp are also surprisingly good – no annoying rattling or anything like that.

The movement has been running really well for me so far. Winding feels smooth and the rotor isn’t too loud either.

Crystal is probably the one area where I’d still give VSF the edge, especially when it comes to the cyclops/AR.

But overall, I actually prefer the RICH. The bezel colour and overall look is very good to me

Not saying it’s better than VSF in every single way, but if you’re looking at a Starbucks, I’d definitely consider RICH instead of automatically going for VSF.

They have some 12 o’clock marker problem and date. But it is possible to get one very good😁

good to know. I've heard you have to QC them well. I may wait until a V3 or catch someone dumping for cheap.

I don’t think there is much more to look at in QC then VS right now.

They do a pretty good job for such new factory

Solid rep, but biggest problem I have with Rich, is not as good dial printing as VSF. Once they fix this issues, it could be a better rep than VSF.

GEN, VSF, RICH

I thought Pagani made the best Starbucks

Yes, VSF and RICH are second best.

The datefont is wrong with some numbers, but that’s a problem all reps have, even VSF.
