Hi everyone, I’d like to ask for some clarification because I didn’t fully understand one part of the guide. I have the Excel file where I can see which factory is considered the best for each model, but factory and vendor are not the same thing, right?

I mean, do I ask a trusted vendor if they have, for example, the VSF Submariner? Or is VSF itself a trusted vendor? Could someone explain this a bit more in detail?

And sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. English is not my first language and Reddit’s translator sometimes creates misunderstandings🙈

Hey guys,

after buying an overpriced shitter in China and going down the rabbit hole right after, I'm really lost and I really cant decide on whether to get an ARF Pepsi on Jubilee or a VSF... I'm well aware that people say ARF bracelets are better but looking at many QC pictures, I feel like VSF dials and crystals really are a bit better. Also the fact that VSF has insane waiting time right now is irrelevant for me..

My questions:

I read somewhere here that VSF uses the same bracelets as ARF but I think that has to be false right?

Is there anyone on here who has both of them and can comment their honest opinion?

and is the difference even noticeable with bare eyes between these two factories?

I'm tending to get an ARF with a Deep Crystal purely because people on here claim the bracelet is significantly better (+ the crystal issue should be fixed) but its still hard to judge for me since I never held an ARF nor VSF in my own hands

Ill be super happy for any kind of opinion on this matter so please don't hesitate to comment.

Thanks guys

Hi guys. Anyone based in Europe who can recommend a trusted reputable TD please? I have used TheOneWatches before but the delivery time is generally quite long.
