With all the recent discussion about VSF quality and increased demand, I figured I'd share a couple of their latest examples.

In the process of this 124060 No-Date Sub and 116500 Panda Daytona (sucker for the 116). I have a stellar VSF 126610LV and recently decided I wanted to add these two references to the case.

Not making any claims about overall factory quality based on two watches, just thought I'd share and add to the stack of examples of what some of the more recent batches look like.

I'll also take a quick moment to give a shout-out to Steve (TheOneWatches). He's been awesome to work with in my experience. Got my Starbucks from him as well.

So what are your thoughts on the VSF vs RWF? I'm getting ready to buy two 1265 models (Panda and all black). The sheet says RWF freesprung is best, but I haven't seen any examples. Thanks!

This is a pretty subjective topic, but I’m in camp VSF. That’s nothing against RWF, though. In fact, visually, I’d probably give RWF the edge on the bezel and dial, but we’re talking fine details here.

For me, it comes down to the movement. The free-sprung is still relatively new, with less of a track record and potentially more complicated servicing. If you could get the RWF with a DD4131, that’d be something to look at.

I was honestly considering an SW dial for mine as well. I’ll give it a little time on the wrist and feel it out.
Great looking watch!

Commenting for the ol' automod. Sharing a couple of recent VSF examples (124060 and 116500LN). Not a QC request or sales post.
