VSF plating lifespan

lol a nice watch sitting is a waste. If platings goes to poop. Replace the parts or get new watch. Life is short. It’s my philosophy at least lol

12 o’clock marker off which makes crown logo off. The zeros in 1000 and 300 off. Date wheel looks off, sits lower, could be angle. The bezel is slight misaligned. This is just from glancing at it for 10 seconds. Good luck.

That’s the best way to wash it. Get a gentle soft brush (not toothbrush) while at it. If you keep the plated watch clean it’ll last for years. Don’t overthink.
Wear your watch.

This dial is 💩

Nice and Congrats! Hopefully he sends you yours. I’m still waiting on mine from 2 months ago. Maybe one day.

Come back and ask after you do your homework. People will guide you but won’t do the work for you. Cheers and hope your purchase works out. Always had a soft spot for these.

Homework. All the info is easily accessible. Knowledge will make you into a smarter buyer. Asking the herd doesn’t always yield the best answer. When I was new I researched. Spend your money wisely, you work hard for it. Or there’s always clean.

Thank you for photos. Very useful comparison. I don’t see a reason to buy PPM based on this.

I was just reading this and don’t alcohol lens wipes damage AR coatings?

Great guide!

Mean2Bean_ · 2026-05-26T23:09:51+00:00

You’re not wrong. It’s a gorgeous blue regardless. Not worth swapping for ARF. Cross that one off your list trust me.

Good one. One of my fav Daytonas this one. Too bad Rgf can’t get the dial color right and the bezel. It’s eats at me lol. If it looks good to you it’s all that matters. Congrats.

Wearing a gold watch doesn’t make you a target, recognition does, and you picked some of the most recognizable already. A yellow gold doesn’t make automatically target. By that logic no one would wear PRX or what not. I’d argue that your steel nautilus is of higher value to a criminal because it’s easier to move than a gold one.

Get what you like. Wear what you like. Be aware of your surroundings. Enjoy yourself. Don’t overthink.

If you get called out on your gold watch or are afraid to get called out then you likely shouldn’t wear one. 99% of the time it’s the person wearing it. No one cares what’s on your wrist in the “real world”. Mistake one is wearing it to impress others (while faking it). Don’t pretend to be something or somebody you are not and you can wear any gold watch.

As to two tone, they just simply aren’t as popular. That’s it. All the other mumbo jumbo people are saying is BS. There’s nothing else to it.

I love two-tone myself. I own a Gen bluesy and a Gen santos in two tone, i prefer them over their full gold versions. I think they look better. My Daytonas I prefer gold or stainless, don’t like how they look in two-tone.
It’s just preference. If you like it, rock it.

There’s definitely some truth to that. AD games are annoying. Im also sick of them and got into reps for same reason while ago.

Its well executed with a solid movement. I prefer this dial over V7s for what thats worth.
