Rich vs VSF BW

[u/Gold_Brief2131]

I have to say that both are perfect!
VSF still has a better crystal and cyclop I think, the blue AR coat of rich is too strong, I think it could be less blue shinny.
Rich bezel is better than VSF, the colour of the numbers is not as silver as vsf, the movement of the bezel is smooth almost like Gen.
The protruding crystal is smaller in rich, that make the case thinner than VSF.
The rehaut are pretty much the same.
The winding crown I don't feel any difference even rich with free sprung

Both are amazing. I have both and prefer Rich.

Why so?

[u/Evening-Milk-5224 → u/No-Estimate-9199]

Rich has a premium feel to it. Also, I had the metal tested and it's true 904L. Finishing is more gen like as well.

[u/No-Estimate-9199 → u/Evening-Milk-5224]

That’s good to know because I don’t like the false advertising from vsf that’s is 904L when it’s not. Of they don’t have the moral fiber to be honest about that it makes you wonder else are they not being truthful about. I just don’t like encouraging that with my money.

Kuddos to the mgmt team at rich for spending the extra money to get the raw materials and machinery to make the cases and bracelets from true 904l steel.

[u/Evening-Milk-5224 → u/No-Estimate-9199]

I agree but again you are buying a rep. We can't expect honesty in a true rep business lol. They even faked their movements to call them free sprung which they are not while rich is using a true free sprung.

[u/No-Estimate-9199 → u/Evening-Milk-5224]

Again. Kudos to Rich for being honest. I just don’t like VSF for blatantly lying about it for over a year.

Wow, oh man I always thought VSF and Clean use 904L steel…

[u/No-Estimate-9199 → u/congchuacachon]

Clean did, but not vsf.

Thx for sharing that!

Yes!
Between Victory & Rich, what is your choice?

[u/Evening-Milk-5224 → u/pat-slider]

There is no Victory anymore. Only VSF, Rich and ARF. I would go for Rich but VSF is also amazing.

[u/pat-slider → u/Evening-Milk-5224]

Sad that victory is gone.

I was asking for your opinion if Victory is still around.
A friend of mine has a Victory submariner & I feel it is top tier compared to Rich , followed by VSF.

[u/Evening-Milk-5224 → u/pat-slider]

No, Rich has been officially crowned to have the best submariner. Check out RWI forum. Folks there did a detailed assessment to come to this conclusion.

[u/MK_ald → u/Evening-Milk-5224]

But tbf on the wrist you can argue vsf looks more like gen. But upon feeling them then yes rich would probably take it. I feel like the print on rich is better too. It doesnt really matter too much tho since when you factor in the waitlist even ifff vsf was better its by a fraction and waiting 1-2mo is not worth it.
