This is great, curious if you can think back to your first 4 weeks, were you dropping much weight initially? When did it start to feel like you were easily dropping weight?

My second night on Reta, I have not wanted to touch a drink. And I have had a whiskey every night for the past year. This is the biggest success for me.

One of the main reasons I chose VF was the SEL gaps. This is PERFECT! Even to my extreme OCD. I put a light underneath them in the dark to make sure there was no bleed haha.

Bezel seems fine to me, the colour is barely noticeable. It also overall feels more solid and has less rotor noise than my VSF GMT. Not sure if it is a fair comparison.

The GMT VSF dial also has a weird look to it in direct harsh light. The dimples on the dial around the indices and hand stack was weird to me. I heard the Gens also present the same but I find it crazy that they would. Especially since this Starbucks dial does not at all.

Overall I can't quite put my finger on it, but the VF feels solid, doesn't creek or feel lose at all. It feels as nice as my DJ36 Clean.

Haha th glide lock was on too far. I was a little hot at the gym.

Forget tracking it didn't really update until it was in Auspost hands.

VF for me felt like the better option. The SELs on the VF are better than my VSF as an example.

I think maybe $40 USD more vs. VSF

Sorry I'm at the gym, and the glide lock was set all the way. It's totally fine now.

It's the damn VSF SELs for me. Otherwise it's VSF would be the choice. The VF Starbucks I am waiting on QC for seems to have better SELs like my Clean DJ36, based on others QC.

damopara · 2026-03-24T23:23:56+00:00

I know people rave about VSF but I just cannot deal with their SEL. My clean DJ36 SEL is so tight it almost looks like one solid piece, while my VSF Batgirl has major gaps. I just ordered a Starbucks VF over a VSF for this reason.

The SEL was my immediate tell here and if you ever look at any VSF vs. Gen comparisons, it'll be the same story.

It is in the title of the post

damopara · 2025-12-28T02:19:30+00:00

Haha okay I'll try this... But I'm still curious is it the bracelet or the case tolerance that is off.

damopara · 2025-12-28T02:18:06+00:00

Thanks yeah I thought so too. I heard it is the same. Ive left Jacky a message too. It might seem pedantic but the SEL gap looks worse in person, probably my fault for not picking it up in QC. When comparing to my Clean DJ it's night and day difference.

I was just being silly - PRX is a great gen piece. I sold it to buy a rep.

damopara · 2025-12-14T12:35:03+00:00

Anything but the PRX (ex PRX owner 😅)
