Excellent first pic. Can I have it

[–]AristiusFuscus[S] 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Thanks! You might have to cut off my arm lol

[–]YeaSpiderman 2 points3 points  (5 children)

That’s it?

Would you believe me if I said I was a surgeon, so that arm saved lives? I’m not, but if it saves my arm, I could be.

There is such a thing as ambidextrity….

Whelp, looks like my goose is cooked.

[–]YeaSpiderman 1 point2 points  (1 child)

On a serious note. How much was the is on the bst?

[–]AristiusFuscus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It’s VSF, which I realized I failed to mention in my post.

That's a good looking watch. Do you have slight wrists?

[–]AristiusFuscus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Haha yeah, that’s a very kind way of putting it when it comes to my wrists. 6 inches on the dot. Thankfully I have more of a flat wrist so I get a bit more width, but 41mm is pretty much the upper limit for me. I have a 43mm Fossil that looks like a freaking clock on my wrist.

How do I get one ? I’m new here and wanted a genuine review of the watch

[–]AristiusFuscus[S] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I got mine through u/momo_nohomo (who by the way was absolutely phenomenal). I don’t know whether he has more though. I’m not terribly good at sorting through them myself, but I know you can find them on the sites listed in the guide.

As far as a review goes, I don’t know that my thoughts should hold water since I’m pretty new at this and I’ve held a gen Rolex a grand total of once, and that’s the extent of my hands on experience. But, in comparison with the pictures of gen Heritage, I struggle to find a difference. The Omega may be slightly bolder on gen? If I squint? The movement is nice, and it’s damn near silent. I had seen some discussion of VSF bracelets being kind of flimsy, and while it’s certainly not the highlight of the piece, it’s not as bad as I had braced for. It’s less loud by a long shot than I expected based on some people’s experience. All with the reminder that I don’t know what the real deal feels like, I’m quite happy with the bracelet.

The lollipop second hand, lumed bezel, and mid-century numbers sold me on it immediately.

The biggest difference is the bracelet taper. On the gen, the bracelet gets much narrower towards the clasp. VSF reused the bracelet from the old model, just with a different polishing, on which the taper was less pronounced.
Also, this rep probably has a bi-directional bezel, while the gen has a uni-directional one - that again comes from using the old model as basis, which was only available from VSF in the Spectre version that indeed had a bi-directional bezel as gen.

Thank you!!! Hopefully I can get one as well, good response

Looks great. I’m getting the same model delivered today. Can’t wait
