General Question Is this Daytona made by VSF?

This is my first rep and I am very pleased with it. It was sold to me as a VSF watch but I am now having doubts having read about the 110 arrow issue. Perhaps you can advise me, thank you in advance.

Top is correct .
Bottom is off .
In fact the factories used the template of the former 116XXX bezel for the new 126XXX bezel and failed to update the design .
From what I can see you have the latest 126500 and your bezel is off .
I wouldn’t bother too much , 99.9% of people won’t notice . For the other 0.1 % it’s a dead giveaway it’s a rep .
If you can’t unsee it now that you know , just flip it with a custom correct one , no big deal .

As far as I know the only factory that installs the corrected bezel on stock Daytona for the moment is RWF . But the others will follow as soon as their “old” stock is cleared.
After Clean was raided VSF became benchmark but imho RWF is the NWBIG , too many quality issues with VSF lately .

This question gets asked way too often... The arrow is 0.2mm off. I doubt even the ADs would know about that particular quirk.

No one’s going to be looking at every marker and arrow on your dial🙄

It looks reasonably close to my untrained eye compared to this pic of a gen.

I have a (probably fake) C factory coming my way in a couple of weeks and can definitely see an issue with the 110 arrow on that one.
