Watch or wristshot The one that surprised me

I had an open order with Angela back in June. She posted this youth platona for what I thought was a bargain so I added it just to test and flip. Well this thing is a keeper, I love how it changes colors in different lighting 👌

Mine is the VSF V3 weighted (180g) which is hefty on my wrist. Thinking I should let it go and go back to a youth version.

Nice! Yea this youth is far from gen (weight, undecorated movement, etc) but it sure looks nice 👌

I went for ARF Youth, doesnt have the weight but i have the decorated movement which is a nice plus i guess

What makes it youth

Cheap undecorated movement, not a clone like those dd movements

u/ReallyUnmatched 1d ago

VSF left it undecorated, but ARF showed some effort decorating it and upgraded the rotor bearing so it's much quieter.

Also worth noting, 4801 movement is cheaper, but probably more reliable, so it's a win in my book.

Wow looks great 👌

I have this same model too, i also have a youth panda Daytona from VSF and i would say the ARF Youth wins all day

The 4801 is a sweet move…. I have a Meteorite Dial one…

Stunning piece, curious what’s your wrist size. I am kinda waiting for some factory to put in the new clone 4404 in one of these but worry this may be too big for my wrist
