First order with Ethan for 40mm VSF Yacht Master 10/10 [Review]

Want to start out by saying that I wasn't compensated or offered discount for this review.

Placed an order for a VSF Yacht Master I saw on Ethan's inventory site. Sent funds 05/06 and recieved tracking on 05/08. Recieved watch yesterday 5/21. Using FedEx but triangular shipping so it takes a little longer. Not his fault; I'd rather have my watch and wait a little longer than have it taken by customs.

Communication is a little bit of daily ping pong due to time difference. Ended up not being an issue. I love that I don't have to wait for watch pics and can pick the watch I want before payment.

In the past I have ordered from some bigger TD's like Andiot, but if you want a watch in two weeks, Ethan is the way to go. Might not be as seamless of a process, but if i wanted a VSF from Andiot I wouldn't have my watch for another 3-4 weeks or maybe even longer. Wasn't any more or less expensive.

Looks like Ethan is also adding modding services so I think he will be my go to from here on out. Thanks Ethan!!!! 10/10

  13. ⁠Anything else you notice: I attached a picture. It looks like the dial doesn’t sit flush with the rehaut. Might be photo angle. Not a concern as far as aesthetics go but worried about it maybe getting worse over time and the dial moving w everyday wear and tear. Do you think it will be an issue long term?
