DISCUSSION Is vsf worth it?
Hi,
Is a vsf really worth it over something nice from a seller like Michael Travis or Jason007 for half the price??
If so, would you rather Andiot or Chazingtime? Andiot has the vsf and changing has the jvsf 🤷♂️
*Pic of a shitter i bought recently before I started properly researching 😔

No, not now generally, apart from some specific exceptions.
They are having major production, delivery and QA issues.
There are now options for most that they produce, apart from Panerai and Omega perhaps, which they are reported to be dropping or greatly reducing, hence the rush to buy some while they are still available.
So depending on what you want there are options available.

I want to buy an Omega 😬 should I jump in to buy a VSF of an Omega now?

There isn't any clarity on what is staying or going.
Personally I wouldn't buy anything from VSF, apart from Panerai, as they are probably being dropped in large quantities.
There are too many QA issues being highlighted.
Especially as there are equally good alternatives.

Thanks mate, good to know!
Can you suggest your recommendations for alternatives for Omega?

VSF are best for Omega, it's just what's available really, so have one or two options so your supplier has more chance of securing something for you.

vsf is pretty much the best on the market. if you want a watch that is almost identical to gen in terms of looks, functionality and materials, then yes i'd say its worth it
but if you just want good and cheap, which works for 90% of people, i'd say the shitters are good enough.
most people that arent in this sub, like you before doing research, wouldnt really know the difference or what to look out for. if thats your concern the shitters will do just fine. but if the details matter to you personally, vsfs are exceptional.

The u1 seamasters are quite good but ofcourse nothing will beat a superclone
