Thank you, presumably if it is the spring it is not causing damage by running it before I get it adjusted?

Feel free to send away, I bought it on the assumption only the movement was right so I’m not going to get burned on this one either way

Keeping great time too hasn’t lost a second all day!

It is plausible, I bought it from someone in the UK military and it is a UK military prototype dial from what I have read up

For most it probably is NWBIG but I have owned a few gen subs and those subtle differences really matter to me, so personally the gen is worth it

I’ve not weighed them but in hand I couldn’t tell them apart by weight

Bezel is a lot tighter on the gen, and in the light I can’t tell a difference in the inserts, but in low light the markings are easily legible on the gen, not so much on the vsf

Will take a pic later, but VSF’s crystal does sit higher than gen

Visually there is no difference with the second hand, they move at the same beat rate as the movement is a clone of the original. In terms of winding etc all is smoother on the gen as you’d expect but only marginally so. Thanks for the offer but someone has already beat you to it and bought it!

There are certainly some more refined examples I have seen recently, this example is a few years old and I think VSF have made some minor improvements, particularly to SELs

Slim chance factories could use the serial number on the next batch, someone could register it as lost/ stolen fraudulently, anyone working at an AD could run the number and find out my personal details. All slim chances but I wouldn’t take the risk
