The only thing I gained from this debacle is that I don't know what a VSF is.
Apparently they wear them in Beverly Hills?

I was thinking the same thing.

VS Factory make fakes of just about every brand including Omega, however they put extra emphasis on Rolex, as those are their main sellers (they have an entire line of “solid gold” Rolex President that is just “gold” plated stainless steel with “extra weight” added in places to resemble the correct feel 🤦 ). They have been raided & closed down a number of times, but always reopen in a small closet somewhere else. Here is a recent photo inside their current operation.

They are supposed to be one of the best, but honestly, their products are quite sh!t. Here are two of their movements. Trying to keep this vague as to not discuss the fakes themselves, but here are current samples of their inventory. The target audience for these over on the replica forum enjoy saying how indiscernible these are to the genuine article… ☕

And for further enjoyment, on the very same forum, here is a snippet of someone’s detailed “how-to” on what and what not to do when taking apart this current VSF Omega 8500 movement 🍿

I've occasionally bumped into forums like this when researching stuff, but as soon as I find out I'm on a fake watch forum I usually just move on without reading anything.

You'd think that with all of the effort they put into their "hobby" more enjoyment would be gained by focussing on real watches.

I worked with an idiot who was always telling me about his fake Rolex and how it was so good it was almost worth as much as the real thing!
I would just nod and go along with him as there is little point arguing with idiots…..they bring the argument down to their level then beat you with their considerable prior experience!

That is a beautiful cat, people should post more cats browsing the forum, it looks like a far more intelligent creature than this dude having the tantrum.

This is Alma, we adopted her in October. She was rescued on the street.
Alma means Apple in Azarı.

I thought my time reading all this was wasted, but at least now I know more about fake watches and cool cats.

Anyone who rescues animals is a good soul in my book. Nicely done.

I can't really take credit for that, it was my wife who wanted her. I was not a cat person before we got her, but I totally love the little thing now, she brings so much joy into our home. When we move to our next country, we will get another one so that she has some cat company.

She doesn't look like she's missing out for company. More like she considers herself another of the household people.
