It's not like you're comparing watches from two different factories. If you were, maybe that would make a difference. If for example OMF factory made the all blue watch and VSF made the grey/blue, in that case I'd recommend the grey/blue because VSF make a much better watch than OMF. But if you're just comparing the VSF in different colours, they're all very close to Gen and very good watches, so it's nothing more than choosing the one you prefer. When I look through the Daily Wrist Shot threads, there are people showing off watches that I wouldn't wear if I was paid, yet the owner loves it. It's all about you buddy!

Not that I'm bitter. Bullshit. You were too slow, rodent boy! Buy one from a TD, you tight cunt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly, it's not that so much, but more that I'm a little unsure on whether or not I'll like it. But I think I will. I'll pick one up from a TD if I don't get one soon. To be fair, they're at the cheaper end of the super rep scale! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
processengr 13,367 Posted February 1, 2020 The 21J (~70USD) has a ceramic bezel, along with the wrong color datewheel, would be good for a trial run, before you invest in the very fine VSF... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Intresting 21,692 Posted February 1, 2020 6 hours ago, Grey1970 said: Hi... I’m just about to order one from my TD but really in doubt between the grey/blue and the totally blue. What’s your feeling and suggestions as owner? With the rubber strap is perfect but I’m scared of the result with the as bracelet. It seems to me the blue dial fits better in both cases....but maybe I’m wrong. Thanks in advance Stefano Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk They all look good. It just has to match the rest of your attire. I prefer the grey/blue due to the contrast and the grey dial has a lovely sunburst effect. either way I think you can't go wrong.

My latest gate order yesterday says shipping by April 1. Dam. 1 April. Hope its not a joke! Know what you mean. The prices of reps are going to ridiculous levels. The new iterations pushing $600. Madness. Its good AliGate quality has improved leaps and bounds. Now will only buy TDs if the reps are exceptional. The rest no reason to shell out so much dosh.

alx87 0 Posted March 2, 2020 My watch has now arrived, VSF V2 black bezel. Does anyone have recommendations for precision watch screwdrivers for adjusting the bracelet? Preferably off somewhere such as Amazon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,285 Posted March 2, 2020 I use Cousins who are the best - but they're not Amazon. https://www.cousinsuk.com/category/screwdrivers-individual Horotec and Bergeon are considered the best, AF Swiss not too far behind. I can't recall what size you need though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
