The white dial, blue hands and classic twin-register layout make this ZF Portugieser really stand out. Powered by a 7750 movement, it’s a refreshing change from the usual sports watches.
İ have a Hamilton Murph 38mm black dial. İ will buy my second Watch and I don’t want to regret it. Which one is?
I’ve been looking into the latest GF V3, and the upgraded ceramic bezel and case set seem to make a noticeable difference. The black-and-rose-gold combination looks especially sharp on the rubber strap, while the Sea-Gull 2824 keeps the movement simple and proven.
For anyone familiar with the earlier version, how significant do you think the V3 upgrades are?
This ZF version comes with a Sea-Gull 2824 and can also be upgraded to a Swiss SW200. For a daily wearer like this, which movement would you choose?
CBD was the first to release the 2026 Panda Daytona with a weighted build and a free-sprung 4131. QF followed with its own free-sprung 4131, and now VSF has entered the race.
These VSF QC photos came from Jun. From what I can see, the dial printing, hour markers, bezel engraving and overall case finishing all look clean and well executed. The visible 4131, including the bridge and rotor decoration, also appears nicely finished.
Hi everyone, I’m Jun. Here’s a look at my current inventory
Every watch shown is physically in hand. If anything catches your eye, send me a DM for factory details, pricing, close-up photos, videos, movement information and QC.

I bought this RICH Pepsi GMT from Jun and I’m really happy with it. From comparing the different factory versions to checking every detail during QC, he took the time to explain everything and helped me choose the version that suited me best.
Thanks again, Jun, for the thoughtful service and a very smooth experience.
I’ve been looking into this weighted two-tone “Guinness” GMT for a while.
A lot of people are saying ONE is simply ARF under a new name. But has that ever been confirmed, or is ONE actually a new factory building on ARF’s reputation?
The watch itself makes a strong first impression: 176.98g, a convincing gold tone, clean case finishing and a well-executed Jubilee bracelet. But good execution alone doesn’t tell us who is really behind it.
What do you think—ARF reborn, or a new factory benefiting from the ARF association?
I’m TD Jun，A closer look at the RC Factory weighted Ice Blue Day-Date.
The ice-blue sunburst dial, baguette markers, fluted bezel and President bracelet work beautifully together. The added weight also gives it a much more convincing feel on the wrist.
These are real in-hand photos, not factory renders.
I’ve received quite a few DMs about the latest ORF Seamaster 300M, especially its upgraded 8800 movement, so I filmed it as closely as possible.
The key detail is the regulating nuts and threaded posts around the balance wheel, which clearly show the free-sprung setup.
Hope this answers some of your questions. If there’s another detail you’d like to see, let me know.
It comes with the VS 8806 movement, mesh bracelet, spare rubber strap and card. The monochrome dial and bezel give this version a very clean, understated look.
I’ve purchased these watches and been informed I purchased from a VSF as I requested as heard they were the best factory. Can anyone confirm if they’re good and in fact from where I was told and what I paid for. Thank you
The upgraded free-sprung 8800 was what pushed me toward ORF, but after seeing it in hand, the black wave dial, ceramic bezel and case finishing impressed me just as much.
It feels like a very complete version now. No regrets with my choice so far.
Would you choose ORF or VSF?
Just received the RICH Pepsi and ZF Pelagos 39 from TD Jun.
I chose the RICH partly for the free-sprung JH3285, while the Pelagos was meant to be the quieter daily option. Jun helped me compare the available versions before I made the final choice, and both arrived looking great.
I spent some time looking through this Ballon Bleu gen vs rep comparison, and the case construction surprised me most.
The domed crystal, case profile and blue cabochon are remarkably close. Even the thickness is around 13.2mm vs 13.1mm in this comparison.
The dial texture and Roman numerals also hold up well under magnification.
It’s not identical though — the SWISS MADE printing at 6 is slightly weaker, and the internal screw positions are different, so the parts aren’t interchangeable.
What difference stands out most to you?
I initially noticed the blue gradient dial, but the Dandong 324 is what makes this BBF 5168G worth discussing.
The case finishing, polished edges and lume also look well executed. At 100.6g, it won’t reproduce the feel of the white-gold gen, so the choice comes down to movement and finishing versus heavier construction.
What matters more to you on an Aquanaut?
It’s my Gen 1997 Coke (16710) just back from its second ever service. I wear this beauty 50 weeks a year and it’s never missed a beat. Still got the original bezel but swapped for a service dial in the first service as the Tritium lume lasted 17 years!! Plan to pass it on to the boy … when I’ll no longer be able to wear it.
TD Jun here. Just shot a quick video of this PPM weighted Day-Date with the full RG finish, smoky black dial and 3255 movement.
The dark gradient dial works incredibly well with the rose gold, and the weighted build gives it a much more substantial feel in hand.
If you want to see the actual weight, QC shots or any specific details up close, feel free to comment or DM me.
I currently have a DDF 5711 in hand, so I shot a quick video to show how it actually looks up close.
If you’re considering this version and want to see specific details, QC photos, or check current availability, feel free to comment or DM me.
Happy to show any angle you want to see.
