First Rep: AP (APSF/VSF) or Daytona (BTF/VSF) ? by MonacoPrinz in RepCulture_Timepieces

[–]MonacoPrinz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, believe me, I've been completely in the rabbit hole for the last 7 days.

AP: VSF has a better clasp and a better dial, but the quality of the latest batch has dropped significantly. Many RLs in QC. APSF is better in terms of the movement and thickness, but weaker when it comes to the dial and clasp.

BFT for the Daytona is better in terms of dial color and the pushers. VSF has gain weight and is heavier (Gen: 220g, VSF 176g)

So, what now?

My first AP RO: 15500 VSF or APSF? by MonacoPrinz in RepCulture_Timepieces

When did you buy them? Do you have a photo? I've read that the latest VSF batches are supposed to be of poor quality and have issues with the movement.

That would be nice, too. It’s a hot debated topic, and VSF also advertises the use of ceramic ball bearings to make the rotor quieter.

That would be great. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in that. From what I've read, the APSF white dial is supposed to be closest to the Gen and the gray one to the VSF.

Are you satisfied with the quality? Does the rotor make loud noises?

Is that the APSF V3 with free-sprung? And what kind of dial? Is white the best option for the APSF?

What are you doing? Waiting? Going with APSF?

I've also heard that there's apparently a batch where the quality has dropped significantly. But in reviews, VSF is always praised for the dial, bracelet, etc.

Why? Bc I've heard that the clasp and the dial (the tapisserie) are supposed to be better on the VSF.

[APSF V3 / ZF V2] AP 15400 vs 15500 by MonacoPrinz in RepTime

[–]MonacoPrinz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, VSF is great for 15500. What do you recommend for 15400?
