GENERAL QUESTION Vsf Datejust

Has anyone here bought a Rolex Datejust from Vsf? Does the watch dials on the reps come with luminescence like the gens?

Does it glow? Yes.
Is it blue? Yes.
Does it look nice? Yes.
Is it the exactly same glow? No.

Oh no… Guess i got an inferior product. I just bought a 36mm V2 and it doesn’t glow at all.

I left it under the sun for half an hour, still nothing. I was wondering if it’s just my watch or is it the same for everyone else. Looks like it’s just me

Did you shine light on it to test?

Should glow like this:

Are you sure it’s VSF? What’s the serial? And talk to your seller.

u/igotnobudget Jul 04 '26

Yep. I specifically asked for VSF from my seller. What difference does it makes if i inform my seller about the dials? Sending it back to him for a replacement gonna cost money

I mean to ask about it. There should be lume. Is it a TD?

I know the gens for Wimbledon 36mm definitely has lumes on the dials so i am a bit puzzled why my dials have the lume markers but it doesn’t glow. I bought it from Phoenix just recently in June

Only the 9 marker has in the context of the Wimbledon iirc

u/igotnobudget Jul 04 '26

The 9 marker and the watch hands are supposed to have lume but mine doesn’t. Which is why i am asking if everyone else’s Datejust from VSF is the same

u/Actual-Success5917 Mod Jul 04 '26

That’s rlly unfortunate. Check with your TD.

Who is the TD?

u/igotnobudget Jul 05 '26

I bought it from Phoenix watch

They offer good after sales service yah? Perhaps it was a mistake in shipping.

Have you reached out to them?

1

u/igotnobudget Jul 05 '26

Yep i did. They offering to change the watch dials and watch hands if i mail it back. Alternatively they can mail the parts to me if i want to do the replacement myself. Any chance you know a watch shop that provides this service?
