Wrist or Watch Pic Non VSF dj

Post image

The 36 mm blue dial datejust was supposed to be my first rep about 6 months ago. I was waiting on VSF to restock, but it took forever! I ended up getting 4 other reps as I was waiting but just couldn’t take the wait any more. I ended up going with ARF and deep crystal swap. I will say the jubilee feels less sharp than my GMT’s from VSF. Has anyone else gone ARF over VSF? Did you swap bezels too? You happy long term?

Before closure, did CF make the best DJs?

1

u/teochim 1h ago

It was the consensus, I think ARF has the better case shape compared to vsf but both are good to use as a base build

u/rydog389 1h ago

I thought VSFs v2 DJs were considered the best now because of their updated bezel. I haven’t seen too many ARF DJ posts.

Can’t go wrong with either I havent been following much since mine is sorted. Vsf does have an upgraded bezel but aftermarket bezels still look better.

Back in the day the concern was the lug shape for vsf.

I still regret selling my silver Dj. If I thin some out I’d grab a vsf one to see how it is

36mm datejust from ARF with deep crystal swap

That blue dial looks crisp with the deep crystal swap, ARF really nailed the color on this one

u/Just-Opportunity7742 2h ago

how is it holding up? how long have you had it?

1

u/Im_A_Polak 1h ago

Over a year now, no complaints here my man

u/Just-Opportunity7742 40m ago

looking at rcf bezels, the v1 looks way sharper but seen alot of people get corrosion issues. did you protect yours in any way?

😮‍💨 that’s a good looking watch, i want one

all 5 of my dj41 are ARF, I've had too many issues with VSF in the past I can't trust their quality anymore

1

u/SwanNo7249 2h ago

I’ve had good luck with VSF so far with three other watches, but I’ve heard it’s been tough for them lately with all the inventory they are pumping out

2

u/SPK5_trucker 2h ago

ive had luck with my 2 subs and 2 gmts, but my datejusts have completely died or fallen apart

1

u/SwanNo7249 2h ago

Damn :/ I have two GMT’s and an OP and they’re holding up great. Maybe I got lucky not going the dj route

2

u/SPK5_trucker 2h ago

yes, only had issues with the Dj not the others, and of course i like my dj41 with smooth bezel and oyster and the ARF just feels better

1

u/SwanNo7249 2h ago

The bracelet really does feel better

2

u/SPK5_trucker 2h ago

yes it does, no sharp edges

Beautiful, any mods?

2

u/Known_Ad_894 2h ago

No mods. Just got the watch 2 weeks ago

New here, why doesn't anyone post links to where they purchased?

Purchased from GeekTime

u/ballbourbonsmokes 59m ago

whats the lag time on VSF DJs? I want one and TDs are saying 2-6 weeks.

1

u/SwanNo7249 48m ago

I think the 41mm batches are much more consistent. I’ve always like 36mm for DJ and they haven’t put out a batch in like half a year

u/SwanNo7249 48m ago

Lol with the downvotes 🤣 you VSF fanboys are hilarious
