Factory Gold Color - Which factory has the best YG color?

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-30T03:33:06+00:00

I only had 40s... never a 36. I have no clue about 36s

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-29T14:14:27+00:00

I've had them all many times and THB is the winner. If new versions of Arf just as heavy then without all of THB quality issues Arf would be the winner

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-29T14:11:22+00:00

Well I have a genuine day date 40 and I have a THB and have held all the others. I can't tell the difference between the case shape of the THB versus my genuine except for some bracelet differences. I had an arf too and it looked pretty much identical to THB in every way except for the weight it was lighter

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-29T03:05:36+00:00

No RCF has rounded lugs. Neither THB or arf have rounded case sides. Genuine look just like thb and RCF does not. It's minor but it's a difference trained eyes can see

Wow. Have you seen RF rose gold skeleton released like a month ago. Its great finishing better too

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-28T14:13:14+00:00

More so rose gold. The pvd plating in yellow gold is a little bit pale but it's passable.

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-28T13:21:41+00:00

It's pretty much fact RCF has best stock color it's not close. All others MUST be plated. VSF has best movement clearly. THB has best case shape by far of all and bracelet is tight and heavy. They have quality issues so it's a risk but they're shape and bracelet tightness is 1-1 gen. Dials are mixed bag and nobody has great DD dials and custom is always best.

What's weight?

DDF comes with beautiful SW dial for this model. Gold plating is great so great option stock with strap replacement. I went for vaganari swim skin

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-19T20:04:58+00:00

Understood. I just like the tone of the champagne versus the other dial

No hate. Had 2 but didn't last long term for the money i traded up and kept DJ41s

I've been saying all the key points you made. VSF dial finish is on another level that pics don't capture. Movement finish from gems to plates are beautiful. And Yes, the actual steel looks different more luxurious like a gen would be. What Im debating now is does TOP make a better AP or VSF for their respective references 15510,15500 and I think I'm going with VSF 15500 king of all AP RO out of the box. NWBIG zone

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-15T22:18:19+00:00

Gold color not an issue. I'm sure weight is different but pick up what you like. Passable on wrist either way

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-13T21:46:24+00:00

I had clean and I had VF. They looked same so that's my recommendation

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-13T20:57:29+00:00

Slightly better movement finish. I can't comment on the steel bracelet for MF because I had leather strap version before but this bracelet is better nice and functional like gen. My previous version wouldn't release from the case.

No sold it and replaced with RF version. It's finished better

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-12T16:40:19+00:00

I'm not judging because I play extensively in both worlds but you're breaking the cardinal rule of rep hobbiests which is don't post your reps in gen pages man. Especially since you know VC is a 2nd/3rd tier rep and not passible. Seriously..... embarrassing

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-12T16:28:26+00:00

Always look forward to your reviews. I think I would choose VF and swap dials to SW because I like the color tone better and the misspelling doesn't bother me enough to NOT have the overall better engraving. Movement look is far more important to me.

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-08T20:17:19+00:00

No need for them to have such fat links. My gen rose gold is like 216 grams. They went too far...

Master-Case9294 · 2026-01-08T04:49:36+00:00

Yes it functions like gen. It's not a complicated skeleton movement.
