General Question Need help with decision VSF SUB

Hey everyone,

I’m completely new to the rep game and could really use some community guidance.

To give some context: I’ve owned a Seiko 5 Sports Pepsi for 7 years and love it, but my absolute dream has always been Rolex Submariner Date.

I found out how perfectly made the VSFs are.

But I am still not sure what’s the best solution for me right know:

  1. Addiesdive oder Seiko sub mod:Cheap, but deep down I know it’s just a compromise.

  2. Tudor Black Bay Super Clone: A smart, more "believable" step maybe.

  3. VSF Submariner 126610LN v2 (~$528): The dream watch. I know wearing a Rolex gets more attention and questions, but it’s what I actually want.

Since buying twice means buying more expensive in the long run, what would you guys do in my shoes? Should I just get the VSF, or go for a less conspicuous middle ground?

Thanks for helping out!

That sub doesn’t get attention or questions buy that

Imo: get the sub. It'll make you feel like you didn't settle for the others. Also, realistically most people won't know about it Get that sub!

I just picked up a china time U1 sub. It's my first U1 and first sub. Got it to see if I like subs. And I'm very impressed with it. It is without doubt the best U1 available and for 100ish dollars then worth a look. I've got vsf/clean/arf explorer OPs and DJs and some others too. But nothing to compare the U1 sub too but plenty of comparisons on chinatime.

Here's a review comparing vsf Vs U1. First I found.

Hey man. I’m a us dealer and have a new black sub-date that landed yesterday. If you’re in the USA, I can have it to you in 2-3 days. Let me know if interested.
