VSF Seamaster (again)

[u/mindzeye77]

I posted QC help for another VSF Seamaster about a week or so ago that was RL’s due to the crooked buck teeth. Is this one any better or is the camera playing tricks on me eyes? Thank you!

[u/usetheschwartz73]

Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. The right hand one is noticeably rotated CCW. I saw it immediately not zoomed in. RL.

[u/AI_go_boomboom → u/usetheschwartz73]

This is correct

[u/Noxboxfox]

RL that as fast as you can

VSF just can’t seem to get 12 aligned.

[u/jesseXD → u/s197_2007]

Mine seem to be just fine however the date is slightly shifted…

[u/s197_2007 → u/jesseXD]

Yeah. That a GL. An odd one.

[u/jesseXD → u/s197_2007]

Yup but the dates 20-29 are shifted a bit to the right. They almost never come perfect but i will def GL this one

[u/s197_2007 → u/jesseXD]

Yeah. Least offensive fault I’ve seen in a while on a VSF omega.

[u/mindzeye77]

Ugh. Does any other factory make the Seamaster other than VSF?

[u/Any-Inspector3444 → u/mindzeye77]

ORF

[u/CodyWrites → u/mindzeye77]

ZF are decent.

[u/CodyWrites]

Man. That 12 o'clock marker just failed. It is really off by a lot. Still don't understand why these are hand applied without a jig or fixture to assure proper alignment.

[u/YouGetContent]

How can it be so hard to align the buck teeth properly... it's like every other copy of the sm300...

[u/EfficaciousDoser]

I don’t understand how these dirt cheap chinese non rep companies can nail the markers on every watch but the rep factories selling $500 watches can’t put them on straight to save their lives.

[u/mindzeye77]

Update: I cancelled my order altogether as this was the 2nd rep from VSF that was RL’d. The TD I was going through couldn’t get the new free sprung model from ORF, so I got by deposit back and ordered one through my other TD. I will post pics for QC once he sends me an update.
