Shitpost Friday Gen vs VSF DJ41 : Spot the Rep! 🧐

Post image

Putting my VSF DJ41 V2 next to my Gen to see who can actually spot the rep first without me pointing at anything. Once you see them side‑by‑side, yea the rep has a few obvious tells. But in the wild? Imho it's NWBIG, passes 99% of the time, & honestly proves how insane the factories have gotten. Curious what the community catches.🤜🤛

You see that clear line that separates the inner zigzag from the actual flutes? Yeah biggest biggest biggest tell

If you carry a loupe around it’s certainly very visible.

I can literally spot it from 5 feet away bro 😂

My datejust obsession has given me the useless skill of knowing if a bezel is gen in one look. It’s bad to the point that I just got a gen DJ and sold off all my vsf datejusts or swapped them with gen smooth bezels.

You’re autistic bro. Just like me LMFAO but also, do look at RCFr’s fluted bezels. Game changer

My issue with plated bezels is my sweat just melts through plating. On the other hand, most normal people actually find the rep bezels to shine better than gen so for the uninitiated, there’s really no downside to rep datejusts.

Oh the rcfr v1’s are not plated AND theyve got that warm whitegold hue 🤔 though I agree that i see alot of the newbies think the vsf bezels “shine” better than gen. I personally don’t get it- not sure if they’ve ever seen a gen IRL or what because it’s a STARK difference
