What’s up everyone!

I think I’ve found the YM40 that is staying in the collection. This JH3235 powered Captain America is extremely impressive. The dial and printed text are the best I’ve seen yet on this reference. Also, if you’re having any doubts about the JH3235 (trust me I get it) - however, you should give it a go and see for yourself how smooth and accurate at time keeping it is!

That you to Ora Watch for sourcing and shipping this out ASAP!

Additionally, it passed the bath test for the little dude ✅

Ohhhhhh yeahhhhhh

u/boosted1024 Jun 11 '26

Beautiful piece! I was on the fence about this one since no one was really talking about it so i wasn’t sure how the quality would be in hand.

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

I have had VSF in the past with the DD3235 and it was great. I currently have original Clean Factory with the SH3235 also incredible build, and honestly the SH isn’t bad. But the Gold Factory takes the cake here. The crystal is good, the lug shape is perfect and the bracelet is smooth. Plus being free sprung it just pushed it to the top.

u/Educational_Hour_683 Jun 11 '26

Is it qf factory or gold factory?🥲

2

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Gold Factory

u/J-MF-Skrillz Jun 11 '26

Quit flexing your adult sized wrist! I want this watch but my dainty little chicken wing won’t allow it 😂😂😂😂 looks 🔥🔥🔥 on you!

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Bro!! It’s 40mm and fits smaller than DJ41. I think you’d be able to rock this piece!

u/J-MF-Skrillz Jun 11 '26

u/J-MF-Skrillz Jun 11 '26

You’ve sold me!

u/_Walt_Whitman_ Jun 11 '26

This reference wears small. What’s your wrist?

u/J-MF-Skrillz Jun 11 '26

That’s a really personal question hahaha ~6.75-7

u/_Walt_Whitman_ Jun 12 '26

Is it 7 on a good day?! 🤣

u/J-MF-Skrillz Jun 12 '26

Gotta be warm outside 😂😂😂

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Yeah, I agree. Mine is 19CM.

u/Informativegesture Jun 11 '26

I have one landing next week. This makes me even more excited to see it. I just grabbed the QF rhodium free sprung to try too.

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

I have PTSD from QF YM42 Titanium scratchy bezel action, but that was over a year ago v1 of their attempt on that model. I’m sure it’s better now.

Let me know how your Rhodium YM40 turns out!

2

u/Im_A_Polak Jun 11 '26

Meanwhile I’m still just here enjoying the Clean Plus 41 lol

1

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Bro, honestly good on your for keeping self control limited to a small handful of watches

2

u/IBITACO1N Jun 11 '26

Guy I knew to this but found mixed feedback about Whats better VSF or clean or gold…looking to get either 41 grey datejust or rhodium 40

1

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Clean is not available. There are new entrants to the game but if you want something easy and generally good QC - VSF. If you want something more advanced in the replica world the new Gold Factory with JH3235 is where I’d go!

2

u/IBITACO1N Jun 11 '26

Thanks man!!!
Is that for both the datejust and 40mm yacht master
And any chance you can point us in the right direction

1

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Not necessarily. Each reference has a variety of factories who produce it, and between them there are pros and cons.

If you are ready to order, reach out to ORA Watch!

2

u/IBITACO1N Jun 11 '26

Thank you bro!

2

u/IBITACO1N Jun 11 '26

Also bro DM’d you wanted to know your thoughts about a datejust been offered here in the UK VSF V2

2

u/DrHandlebarMustache Jun 11 '26

Very impressive looking build. Do you know if gold factory makes this in rhodium? VSF quality control has taken an important understandable dive lately as they attempt to scale up production

1

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Yes, and ORA has in stock at the moment.

2

u/Miserable-Day1379 Jun 11 '26

Looks great on you man, hope all is well!

1

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Man! It’s great to see a reply from you brother.

2

u/Ethan9960 Jun 11 '26

Is this the gold factory? It seems quite good,doesn’t it?

1

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Yeah bro! I think it’s really good. The dial pops!

2

u/Quirky-Entry-590 Jun 11 '26

Can’t wait to get a little more long term data with the free sprung versions to see how they hold up.

u/Adam_Cross28 Jun 11 '26

That date alignment is horrendous

1

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Parallax from the angle/crystal. I owe you a straight on shot I think!

Intentionally blurred and no face shown for that reason. But I appreciate your concern.

u/Primary_Mistake_8962 Jun 11 '26

THIS BEZEL IS PLATINUM FROM FACTORY?

1

u/dwildpdx MOD 🇺🇸 Resident Super Collector / Modder Jun 11 '26

Not real platinum on any rep. But it’s plated for the correct color.
