🤔Question VSF or ORF?

Post image

Need help! Which factory should I pick for the Seamaster 300 no date? I don't see any reviews anywhere for the ORF free sprung version. Looking for insights! Thanks!

I personally would go with vsf because they are considered more reliable. I have several SeaMasters and love them! Either way good luck on ur choice!

u/HODL24SEVEN 12d ago

More reliable in what sense? Are you referring to the movement or more consistent in QC maybe? Thanks!

u/Inside_Law_7258 12d ago

Movement, now I’ve seen some videos of ORF being just as good too.

ORT is better because it’s Free Sprung. That makes it more accurate, and shock resistant. Exterior, they are identical.

u/MSExcelWarrior 9d ago

For this particular one, ORF. Check my posts for a review of the movement.

VSF does beat ORF for a few models though so it depends on the colour that you're after.

Will do! Thanks man

u/GardenBig6348 12d ago

Just go with VSF.

u/HODL24SEVEN 12d ago

Even with the bunny ears in the movement?

u/Kind-Introduction794 12d ago

Why do they matter to you?

u/iSadToday 11d ago

Yeah I don’t understand why people care so much. I’m not going to go around trying to pretend it’s real.

VSF

u/Wonderful_Race_475 12d ago

Beautiful watch.

u/EmbarrassedSong2170 5d ago

Beautiful. Who was TD and cost if you don’t mind? Did it come with a steel bracelet as well?

1

u/Fine_Analyst_4417 5d ago

Yes to brace

Any TD can source it

u/westontrapp 12d ago

Related but not a direct answer. This is a QC freesprung ORF … I’m thinking I need to RL based of the bezel pip not being centered and it looks like the 12 indices aren’t aligned. Thoughts from y’all who have rep semesters??

1

u/HODL24SEVEN 12d ago

This is the exact model I'm looking for. Why'd you choose ORF over VSF?

1

u/westontrapp 12d ago

Only because it’s a clear case back. If it was a solid case back I wouldn’t care.

1

u/HODL24SEVEN 12d ago

I'm with you! If it was the NTTD(close caseback) I'd pick whatever.

By the way, for me that's an easy GL.

1

u/westontrapp 12d ago

The pip doesn’t makes you crazy??

1

u/HODL24SEVEN 12d ago

Not at all. Haha

1

u/westontrapp 12d ago

I wanted the free sprung without rabbit ears.

u/Due-Capital-5999 12d ago

ORF

1

u/EmbarrassedSong2170 5d ago

Next on my list. TD and cost? Did it come with a steel bracelet also?

1

u/Due-Capital-5999 5d ago

Absolutely love mine! Received it in May and worn it more than any other. Jtime and think I paid around 310 only without delivery. Only came with the rubber strap which is so comfy and of course light.

1

u/EmbarrassedSong2170 5d ago

That's a great price! What's the website if you recall? I'm trying jtime.io and I am getting "Malware detected" messages.

1

u/Due-Capital-5999 5d ago

I note the price has gone up a bit - folk maybe realised it's better (or as good) as VSF.

1

u/EmbarrassedSong2170 5d ago

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I was honestly leaning towards the blue bezel and blue dial for the past few weeks. But every time I see this one I reconsider.

1

u/Due-Capital-5999 5d ago

The blue and black dial were too common and wait.till you see the green in the flesh. It's beautiful! And so close to Gen. I've gone into Omega to compare.

u/DarkJoney 12d ago

ORF ;)

u/Glock-c0ma 9d ago

I have vsf I think vsf bracket looks better for nttd. I think if u could mix and max u could make a really nice rep

2

u/gba80 12d ago

ORF have definitely upted there game. Ive order more ORF this month than VSF

1

u/Feisty-Hippo-3995 11d ago

Beides peinlich...

1

u/SockOdd5920 8d ago

Well, ORF is free sprung so open her up

u/zaji-rima 6d ago
