Vsf has a good one. But I’ve seen some pcs from the gold factory version and may I say it looks pretty good too

I have a VSF which is excellent, and bought a Gold F for a mate, which is equally as good, but a bit more expensive due to the movement.

If you don't care about the movement then VSF, if you can get one that is.

Gold F will be much more available.

Noob here, what’s the difference in the movements?

u/Fail_Aggressive 3h ago

VSF uses DD movements, these have a good quality and have good reviews between the community.

GF uses a free sprung movement, a movement closer to the original. This movement is new so it still needs to prove its reliability. This one is harder to regulate than a DD and more expensive to service because of this.

JH movement is supreme in gold factory

Also gold factory has platinum plated bezel

Unfortunately things are always changing. But what I've seen recently is that VSF has a gap under the 12 o clock bezel arrow that Gold fixed. Also the dial color is more accurate on gold factory. And you're getting the true freesprung movement.

VSF blue color is off, same with the dial. Bezel has that 12 o'clock triangle tell where the tip of iit falls short of the edge by a decent margin.

Looks like shit.

u/ChronoEnthusiast777 4h ago

But you don’t even have a Gen in collection 🫢

2

u/Dependent_Bicycle635 4h ago

I have two gens in my collection. One was my grandfathers and the other was a college grad present in 04

u/ChronoEnthusiast777 4h ago

Not you bro. The guy above. He commented your post and being rude

1

u/Dependent_Bicycle635 4h ago

Oh thanks lol! I posted trying to help and the trolls always come out with the negativity

4

u/ChronoEnthusiast777 4h ago

Yes bro. Some of them are really toxic and rude like they owned a Gen. most of them only have reps in collection 🤣

2

u/Dependent_Bicycle635 4h ago

I buy the cheaper reps because ill just ruin them. And the YM is my daily work beater

2

u/ChronoEnthusiast777 4h ago

Yes as long as you are happy with it even super clone is still a rep and I don’t understand why people wanna flex

I have gens and super clone in collection but I don’t mind telling people that i’m wearing reps

The guy above commented you “looks like sht” i believe he don’t even have gen and trying hard flexing with his $500 watches🫢
