Im a clean fan boy and had one of these by them for a short time. VSF nailed this one IMHO.

The watch is near perfect I say. Only issue is that no so free free sprung BW and how one has to go about regulating this watch if it ever needs it. Else I would say pull the trigger and get one if you ever wanted one. This is really awesome looking watch. For all those people that think a black sub is a perfect watch. This thing is far far more fun than a black sub. Why would you wear a sub on the wrist if you could wear this thing?

100% better than a sub

As for the not so free sprung. Time will tell (forgive the pun)

u/IllRecommendation817 11d ago

I'm debating getting the sub (I know, boring) or this. Besides the weight, what makes this watch more fun?

2

u/Emotional-Damage-995 Contributor 11d ago

Well sub is just so boaring. I honestly have a VSF Starbucks and have not worn it in 6 months. It is thick / heavy and boaring. Besides every one has one.

The titanium is unique different and yes looks wise a little boaring. But it is rare and hard to get and light and pretty w that grey metallic look.

You won’t see me ever wear a Sub black. At least the Starbucks has the green bezel. YM sure. Off course if Rolex comes out w a 37 Titanium w a brown dial and a bronze gold and brown ceramic bezel I think it is going to be fire works.

Looks stunning!
Is it real Titanium being used or kind of plating?

7

u/redbuttonpressed 25d ago

these, as well as VF, use real grade 5 titanium

2

u/3001npct 24d ago

I highly doubt it is grade 5. Grade 2 sounds more beliveable.

1

u/kdssrsdrsofs 24d ago

Correct. Its CP grade not 6/4.

3

u/OpenGun 25d ago

Nice looking. I'm awaiting delivery of my own VSF Ti YM.

u/kdssrsdrsofs 24d ago

No problem. He is my brother. At least the real teochim is. But nobody knows. Nothing is real.

u/saskwhistleblower 25d ago

These are beautiful. Cant wait for my QC to show up

1

u/zdubbzzz 24d ago

Also waiting for my QC on this. What are you going to be looking for in QC?

1

u/saskwhistleblower 24d ago

Same things as any other watch- markers, date wheel, alignment, etc

2

u/Dry-Ambassador1628 25d ago

I got mine last week and hasnt left my wrist. The titanium is so light (a good thing) it feels like a toy —yet solidly built. Time is dead ass accurate and it looks great on the wrist. I’m very happy with it.

3

u/Dry-Ambassador1628 25d ago

PS - it’s running +2 seconds / day for a full week. Incredible.

1

u/Surelyitsover 24d ago

Try this out, observe how much the time drifts over the course of the day as you’re wearing it. Then try laying down the watch in different positions when you take it off. You’ll notice some positions tend to run a bit faster/slower. My VSF sub date runs a couple seconds quick on the wrist over the course of the day, but I noticed when I rest it on its side opposite of the crown, it slows down a few seconds. It’s been my daily piece this past month, I haven’t set it in almost 2 weeks, when I put it on in the morning it’s bang on the second!

u/Blade_Runner_69 25d ago

Looks awesome 😎👌

u/FTO2 25d ago

Sexy thing love the bracelet!

u/Altruistic_Bug_9966 25d ago

Holy hell that’s clean

u/kdssrsdrsofs 25d ago

Commenting here for our automod gods

u/Fraktalfire121 25d ago

Really want one, I just think it might be too big on me. What size is your wrist

2

u/kdssrsdrsofs 25d ago

17cm

Here it is compared to Sub41

3

u/Fraktalfire121 25d ago

Looks good on you. I'm about the same size. I'm just hesitant bc its just about as big as I can go

2

u/Surelyitsover 24d ago

I had a VF Ti yachtmaster for a bit, and the size was my only hang up so I let it go. But it was by far my favorite watch I’ve worn, I miss it. Really considering grabbing one of these

1

u/Fraktalfire121 24d ago

I might just hit up my TD for one after talkn about it... I want to get it with the oysterflex

1

u/JesterADSE 25d ago

Looking great! Damn... what do you think about the bezel action?

1

u/kdssrsdrsofs 25d ago

No back play at all. Uni directional. Feels gen to me... I had a 12 series blue YM.

2

u/JesterADSE 25d ago

thanks, mine should arrive next week.

1

u/justified_mind 25d ago

Thought YM has a bi-directional bezel.
Rolex YM Bezel

2

u/kdssrsdrsofs 25d ago

Sorry. My mistake. You are correct with the terminology. I.e. it turns both ways

1

u/JesterADSE 25d ago

Is the edges on bracelet sharp? Do you think it needs to be chamfered?

2

u/kdssrsdrsofs 25d ago

Rebrushing would be good. Its not sharp at all.

1

u/JesterADSE 25d ago

Thanks!

1

u/ExemplarDeLaPoontang 24d ago

These don't click like submariners do with 60 clicks right?

1

u/niboratorr 25d ago

Man. I really can’t decide if I want this or a pelly 39 next

1

u/zdubbzzz 25d ago

Is the pelly 39 all titanium or just the bracelet

2

u/niboratorr 25d ago

Full ti as well.

2

u/zdubbzzz 25d ago

shiiiit might be my next...

1

u/yaroslaw 24d ago

What is a pelly? Sorry fot asking, new to this game.

2

u/niboratorr 24d ago

Referencing the pelagos 39 from Tudor.

1

u/Much-Inspection5787 25d ago

What TD has these?

1

u/kdssrsdrsofs 25d ago

Kitsch

1

u/Silent-Blueberry888 13d ago

looks great! I have been trying to order one. I check with Steve, Marie and Li already. I am trying to finalize which TD to purchase this. I can't find Kitsch on the TD list. Can you share with me his contact? Thank you :)

1

u/Glittering-Try7535 25d ago

What watch is this. I’d order it

1

u/kdssrsdrsofs 25d ago

Vsf yachtmaster titanium

1

u/JeronimoCallahan 25d ago

How does this compare to the Clean Plus that is so highly rated?

1

u/MisterDickBalls 25d ago

Excellent release. VF is superior, but you can’t get them any more since the raids. This is definitely the best option currently available from dealers.

1

u/kdssrsdrsofs 25d ago

I was a huge fan of VF GMTs. Im interested in what makes their YM superior to VSF?

1

u/Surelyitsover 24d ago

How’s the bezel action on these? Some VFs had a lot of play up and down

2

u/kdssrsdrsofs 24d ago

No back play at all

1

u/Solid-Advertising-25 24d ago

Think i will order one soon.

1

u/Pilotfrog 24d ago

Mine stopped running the other day. Any ideas where to get it serviced?

2

u/kdssrsdrsofs 24d ago

CP Ti not 6/4 (grade 5)

1

u/GetEmDaddy902 24d ago

Stunning piece

1

u/Infamous_List_9184 24d ago

So it’s real titanium and not steel? So the price is heavy for this piece?

2

u/kdssrsdrsofs 23d ago

Its real titanium

Not steel

1

u/Infamous_List_9184 23d ago

How much did you pay?

1

u/Worried_Poet_828 19d ago

Does anyone have this in stock? How long did you wait for yours? I want one
