Great watch but I'm afraid it would be too much for my 6" wrist :/

I have the BP release and this new one sounds promising.

1. Bidirectional bezel

2. As far as I know the gen sets the main hands not the 2836 gmt hand for local time.

3. The orange numbers look much better.

 

Anyone got it already ?

Great watch. Feels very Gen like; heavy, solid motherfucker. All the VSFs are decent*

 

 

*PBR Disclaimer - These watches feel similar to Gen to me. I think that's because they are similar to Gen, however it could be that they're in fact tinfoil pieces of shit and I just have an unusual perception. If the latter, I will not be held responsible for people buying the watch based on my opinion.

What about setting the second time zone, does it work like the gen ?

Can you set the hour hand in pos 2 hourwise to your local time zone ?

That video doesn't deal with a GMT function. That video is how the standard VSF superclones work, ie not GMT. The GMT functions slightly differently to the video, but I believe it functions as Gen. You can certainly independently set local time.

Basically, yes, it works as per Gen - at least as much as I'm prepared to test it. The only thing I don't want to risk is setting the hands by moving then backwards just in case it's an issue (I bet it's not an issue, it's a superclone movement, but as I don't need the function, I'm not risking it). Certainly the way the hour hand quick sets in position 2 without moving the GMT hand is correct and indeed everything else in the video. It's really an impressive rep.

I’ve got my VSF aqua terra 150m yesterday. I’m happy with the piece except for the SS bracelets which is too light weight and seems hollow, I’m not sure if it’s even 316. Unfortunately I don’t have a gen SS bracelets to compare.

 

I am now thinking of getting vsf PO.

Anyone can share your experiences of the PO bracelets???

 

Appreciate

 

Here’s my aqua terra

The PO bracelet is outstanding, one of the best I've ever had on a rep. But I'm afraid the PO would be a bit large on your wrist, the AT is smaller and it already looks too big...

Anyone got this VSF gmt PO, any problems with winding the 24 hours hand? I’ve got the gmt 150 v1.0. Can’t wind the 24 hours hand. 96565d8fd562c866b61e1a49879f3d16.jpg

Why do factories go to all the trouble of making "Super Clone" movements, replicating the case, dial, bezel, bracelet etc to only spoil it by silly engraving errors on the case back??

This is the "GoodPlanet" rep and yet this wording is missing off the case back? Even the Gen got it wrong by engraving Good Planet as 2 separate words when in fact  it should be GoodPlanet as in 1 word? but to miss it off totally after going to that much trouble is so wrong!

Which 'factory' is your aqua Terra GMT?

If you have the VSF GMT with super-clone movement, it function 'exactly' like the gen when you set time.

On the gen watch you do NOT set the GMT 24hr hand or the date independently. The GMT hand move when you set time.  So what you do is set the GMT hand to the timezone time first, then to set the 'local' time you pull the crown out one stop, and the hour hand goes forwards or backwards in one-hour steps, while the GMT hand stays in place and the seconds continue running. In other words, the design was to make changing time zones when you travel easy.

Out of all Omega Planet Ocean GMT 43.5mm, the only GoodPlanet version is the BLUE one. VSF does have the correct caseback engraving for the Blue GoodPlanet PO GMT.

I was led to believe this is the correct  casdback for the blue  one taken off the Omega website?

That exactly what I said. The blue PO GMT is the only GoodPlanet version and VSF has the correct engraving as the gen.
