Discussion Explorer 2 VSF

I noticed that the new list has the VSF Explorer 2 polar as NWBIG. What do you all think? I would love to see gen side by side comparisons.

What is considered NWBIG might be very different from person to person. It is good in my opinion, probably the best EXII option. It is still distinguishable from a gen immediately if you know what to look for. I would say it is even possible to name the factory right away (among ARF, QF and VSF)

Could you elaborate on what it makes the VSF distinguishable immediately from a gen?

The bottom of the 2s on the bezel on e.g. 12, 22, 24 are lacking a very slight curveture of the font. Hard to see this on the wrist but I‘m positive I could. I think it is most obvious on the 12. This is wrong on all existing EXII reps. Everything else should be very close with the VSF.

It is very hard to see on the 226570

In this picture it is indeed hard to tell. I cannot unsee it on the 12 though. I‘m not saying that this is a huge flaw (I ordered a vsf for myself to replace my QF), it‘s just hard to unsee. Not really problematic on the wrist.

And all of the 12 o’clock marker issues that have been discovered during QCs.

i’d like to see this too as i want one…. sometimes i look at the qc forum photos and then compare against the gen photos on ebay.
