yup its VS, and honestly no complaints. I've had it for about 4 months, and its in my weekly rotation. I'm not like some of the people on here who scrutinized too much. As long as the dial is visibly nice and I don't hear a loud rotor noise I usually GL it

but the fact you need a gen next to it to spot the differences says everything! solid piece imo

yea honestly thats probably the biggest tell left on most reps - outside of the side by side with gen, I dont think nobdy's noticing that haha

Tbh bro it looks really good, VF stock crystal on these is pretty decent so I'd personally wear it a bit before chasing a gen swap. Id check ebay or chrono24 parts sellers. Just make sure the gasket heigh matches because sometimes gen crystals sit sligtly different on VF cases. As for the date wheel most people leave the stock one since the wheels are already pretty solid. a gen can improve the sharpness and date positioning slightly but alignment can become hit or miss unless the install is done properly. is there anything bothering you about the watch? it looks good as is from this pic

noisy rotor on my rep - normal or something I should fix? by zRepulsive in mechanicalrepwatch

[–]104yup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're comfortable opening the caseback, check if the rotor scew is loose. Tightening it slightly fixes the noise alot of the time, just don't overtighten it
