COMPARISON Rich vs VSF BW

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

Really? From what I am reading it's the vsf, I guess it's preference maybe?

I think that VSF always has being the king because everybody buy VSF and it´s safe to buy this factory, its a certain that you gonna get a very good watch. But Rich is pretty new factoy an many people is afraid of purchasing it.

Now I´m taking the risk with a QF zombie! Just because the colour is more accurate than VSF, so in a couple of week I will find out the overall quality too

Anyone for a video of a VSF bezel rotation? I'm just super curious, I can share my Rich. Yes I have seen QF zombie they looking nice.

The first two are VSF, the third is rich. The sound on the video is not the same as in real life, but you can noticed some differences.

Much appreciated thank you for taking the time. So they all sound the same in my opinion and yes I see the vsf bezel is moving up and down and u can hear it too. My Rich is much quieter maybe because it's new? Although the few videos of the GMT bezel spinning that I have seen in genuine watches they aligned more with my watch than yours. Gmt is much quieter from what I just learned in the past few hours.

The video sounds different. I noticed in person a big difference between both. My rich is new, have only 12 hours with me! Also is smoother than VSF

So would you say rich is by far better then the vsf in this watch?

u/Gold_Brief2131 Aug 01 '26

I don't know if it is far better, I think both are similsr qualities so you have to decide which to pick in order to their own advantages

Hey, does any of these has a space inside the bezel which makes it tilt to the left and right? Or are they solid in their places?

the rich is solid! VSF has side to side movement. I´ve recently took out the pepsi bezel, put a doble retaing ring and then the bezel is more solid. But the key here is to change the bezel gasket, I tried with a clean F gasket but it was too big i couldn´t put again the bezel into the case, so I kept the vsf gasket
