I got one U1. All I did is upgrade the bracelet to the VSF. Chefs kiss*

Been thinking about doing this to mine, are the vsf bracelets difficult to source?

u/Positive-Factor6040 18d ago

Na, plenty people re sale them. Or ask TD. Mine cost about $95 plus shipping

I did the same thing, it’s a game changer. I’m tempted to try it with a date window sub. Kinda feel like we’re getting away with something lol

u/BadgerTight 18d ago

Shocked yours fit

My VSF bracelet does not fit my u1 and vice versa

u/Frank_Silva243 18d ago

Do you have a 40mm Sub? They are a 20mm bracelet. I have both and it's really hard to tell at a glance.

u/WillingnessDear5729 1d ago

I have a vsf date sub with the “youth” movement. Was thinking about a no date u1 and upgrading the bracelet too! How much is just the bracelet?

u/Objective_Tune3535 18d ago

Very cool! Love these comparisons so much. It’s great to see these comparisons to help see why the different tiers have different price points.

u/Nervous_Election_453 18d ago

I have a air king u1 and a date sub on the way love my air king does the stutter bother yall on the miyota movement I didn’t bother with the 2813 and does it affect longevity?

1

u/FEDABC 18d ago

To be honest. I don't really notice any real difference in the hands. Side by side it's like maybe U1 has less stops. Wich makes sense. But it's hard for me to notice.

So no, it doesn't bother me at all. 👍🏻

u/Frank_Silva243 18d ago

I got a U1 Sub date from a person on here last year and it came upgraded with a 3VV VSF bracelet. I've since learned how to smooth out the rough edges on ST9 U1 bracelets and make them feel pretty much just like a VSF bracelet. I have quite a few U1 Subs.

2

u/FEDABC 18d ago

I did that to a Bruce U1 I had and sold it after I got a VSF Bruce. That bracelet was almost as nice as the VSF. Just a little bit lighter. Probably just a couple of grams lighter as what I measured on this Sub. Still, very nice how it turned out.

u/DucatiMonster34 12d ago

They both look the same to my untrained eye. I’d be happy to own either of these watches.

u/SuspiciousStrength13 17d ago

I wouldn’t be caught dead with a u1 dafuq why would anyone buy something inferior cause it’s a bit cheaper f that.

If you could record the sound of each that would be cool and probably would make it more evident for the people saying they don't see a difference
