• ⁠Anything else you notice: Everything looks basically flawless on this datejust from my perspective my only concern is in the photo of the rehaut serial the top of the i on the 6 marker appears to be raised away from the dial. I provided an additional photo above circling it for reference. I am wondering if this should be perceived as enough of an issue to RL; if it’s something that might cause the 6 marker to come loose or fall off. The i is attached to the v and the v appears to be secure so I think it’s ok, and doesnt seem to be noticeable when viewing head on or from a regular angle, but definitely could use another perspective or feedback on this. Thanks as always!

I see in all the subs how so many people talk about how gold reps NEED to be plated to even remotely resemble real gold, and that VSF yellow gold color wasn’t even close, especially compared to RGF. I never really believed that to be the case, so I bought a stock VSF V2 weighted daydate to compare to my solid 14K yellow gold jewelry.

Safe to say the watch completely stock looks pretty damn good next to real gold. Could it maybe get to 99-100% the exact shade as real gold with plating, sure, but is stock 95% there without the extra cost? Absolutely.

Let me know your thoughts, but I think buying a stock VSF yellow gold watch (at least the newer updated V2 daydates) doesn’t need plating at all to look really good next to the real stuff.

• ⁠Index alignment:alignment looks great overall. The 3 seems slightly crooked but nothing major.

• ⁠Dial Printing: Looks clear and crisp. Nothing to flag.

• ⁠Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

• ⁠Hand Alignment: main hands and crono hands seem aligned well. The large timer hand seems to be ever-so slightly off-center at the top to the left, though nothing worth being concerned about.

• ⁠Bezel: engeavings looks well-engraved and clear.

• ⁠Solid End Links (SELs):maybe a slight gap on the top right? Looks solid otherwise.

• ⁠Timegrapher numbers: -2 s/d 263’ 0.1 ms

• ⁠Anything else you notice: overall yet another quality VSF weighted Daytona. Rose gold color is very accurate and overall details all seem correct without any major flaws or flags. TGs look good as well. If anyone notices anything worth flagging please let me know! Thanks again as always.
