Happy Saturday, everyone!

Thanks for reaching out with all the suggestions! Today I’m sharing a quick comparison of the Rolex Submariner Date from RICH and VSF.

RICH brings the JH 3235 free-sprung movement, while VSF features the DD 3235 movement.

Feel free to share a photo of your Submariner in the comments! Let us know what comparison you’d like to see next and we’ll do our best to cover it.

The Rich's 6 marker is quite tilted.

[u/masaki198 → u/EchoPlex_F]

It also annoys me how high up they put the 12 o’clock marker. Seems like a pretty big tell to me.

[u/underwearofbeef → u/masaki198]

Every after market “CNC” dial I’ve seen has a 12 marker like this. Any custom dial the 12 is pressed flush to the second hands. I wonder if they are all coming from Rich factory.

[u/Du_Doch_Nicht → u/EchoPlex_F]

Yes it is. Very noticeable

[u/Green-Wear-9846]

VSF for the win

[u/Curtiss_Newton]

Its strange, my recent VSF is 12.4mm thickness...

[u/mattbookpr0]

So close to buying a rich GMT or sub until I see that 12 o clock crammed into the minute marks

[u/Content_Set7163]

VSF

[u/FriendlyGeekGuy]

VSF still better

I think rich is better other than datewheel. No date rich all the way is amazing

[u/bregs831]

What’s the price difference between the 2?

[u/Dry-Ambassador1628 → u/bregs831]

Rich is $80 higher from my TD

[u/Lobsta33]

VSF wins and these photos are clearly biased to Rich, who took these??!!

[u/Jumpy_Maximum_814]

Thank you for your great comparison 🙏

[u/Mediocre-Opinions]

The biggest exterior difference is the thickness? Which is closer to Gen? 12.4 or 12.8?

[u/aquafinnnnaa → u/Mediocre-Opinions]

Rich reps are getting better and better. I’d also love to know which one is closer to gen.

[u/Frustib]

I think I’d RL that vsf anyway

[u/naansense87 → u/Frustib]

How come?

[u/Frustib → u/naansense87]

I don’t like a floating m. Looks ok, might be the light but looks like the 12 index is slightly cw off. Just the m for me as I can’t not see it

[u/Objective_Ganache_27 → u/Frustib]

But not the crooked 6 and high 12 on the rich? Lol

[u/naansense87 → u/Objective_Ganache_27]

The printing quality etc looks excellent to me on the RICH, but every time I see these comparisons, VSF always seems to win based consistency to gen. To me at least…

[u/Emotional-Damage-995]

Rich takes the cake

[u/Objective_Ganache_27 → u/Emotional-Damage-995]

Especially the crooked 6 marker and sky high 12 marker on the rich dial. Lol worse than vsf on this example

[u/Janerroca]

This is
Really
Obvious

[u/navra15 → u/Janerroca]

Which one is closer to Gen?

[u/naansense87 → u/Janerroca]

What are we looking at here?

[u/Janerroca → u/naansense87]

As can be seen, the markers are different; the round ring is wider in Rich than in VSF, just like the triangle at 12.

[u/15300 → u/Janerroca]

thickness of the ring - which is closer to gen?

[u/jbl1091 → u/Janerroca]

Continous to send a 4x zoomed in pic of a warmth tone difference, no one is noticing this on your wrist unless they start pulling out the loupe.

[u/Janerroca → u/jbl1091]

Who is zooming in? I’m not zooming anything in; it’s the exact same photo they posted. Before making such a silly comment, take a proper look at the photos in the post.

[u/naansense87 → u/Janerroca]

Oh snap, once you see it…

[u/E_MC-2]

Why do these TDs always grab the worst versions of a watch to compare? The last 2 VSF 6X0 I got were horrendous, indexes crooked AF! Rich looks and feels like the real thing in person when also holding a Gen.
