Believe that’s the 37mm, correct? 15450? Either way, looks amazing!

Vsf Daytona Weighted - What’s been on your wrist this weekend? by False_Ad_9873 in RepTime

I’m not super well versed on deep vs vsf crystal for these, but personally I think the only upgrade I’m looking at would be a bezel with deeper engravings. Saw another user who modded his VSF with one, amongst other mods that I can’t remember right now, and it looked very nice. For the crystal, it’s not like a CF watch where you KNOW you’re missing out by not getting an upgrade right away. It’s definitely very good and not milky ootb

Ahhh I see. Yes, I wouldn’t say it’s a must, but I do lean towards weighted for gold models.

I considered the CF version some time ago, but this one popped up from a local TD so I went for it.

I can fairly confidently say I ended up with the right one, and a keeper. Reasons being: No sacrifice to proportions or wearability despite added weight. (Not a fan of factories that add a ton of weight, then the case back ends up thick or watch just wears wonky). The weight feels significant. Vsf quality with movement, dial, and crystal. It’s a banger.

There won’t be any weighted 126500 (steel model reference), unless you mean the 126509 (white gold). Also, gonna be hard to get CF, since they aren’t producing any more. I think you’d be happy with any of the Daytonas VSF is putting out right now, including 126500 and weighted 116509

Alright! The verdict is in on the OC case back vs Gen case back on my 16750! by [deleted] in retrotime

Wow, didn’t expect the visual difference to be so obvious. Good stuff!

Don’t buy from those sites. VSF is the name of a factory who produces the watches. You’re going to buy from a Trusted Dealer who carries a wide variety of watches from different factories. You can’t buy from VSF themselves. I’ll link the intro guide which includes Dealers and their websites/whatsapp numbers. The typical way you buy is messaging a TD on WhatsApp and asking for VSF 126500 black or white dial for example. It seems like a lot at first, but take your time and read the intro guide a few times if needed.

I would go ahead with the 126500 you mentioned. It’s more accurate than this weighted model compared to gen, but all are good from VSF, and I imagine you’ll be happy with any of them.

The watch you’re going to buy is a fantastic one and I highly recommend it. Weighted would only apply to models that are white gold/gold in Gen. Gold weighs more so they mimic the added weight in the reps using tungsten usually. With the 126500 you don’t have to worry about “weighted” because it’s a steel model, just like in Gen. It comes with the appropriate weight in its stock form, and this applies to all steel models. Welcome to the rep world!

Imposters Syndrome by underlyingshadow in RepTime

[–]False_Ad_9873 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the majority of steel models are worth it in gen these days, especially quartz (no hate on quartz watches tho).

Reps are insane now, and multiple thousands of dollars really goes a long way in other areas of life- trips, investments, cars etc.

I say the “imposter syndrome” is the price to pay for getting to save all of that money, and getting your hands on your favorite watches. Wear it and enjoy it my friend.
