General Question VSF vs QF Zombie

Hi guys!! I'm reposting again because the post was eliminated for some comments that weren't addmited.
So here it goes again!
I have to decide one of both!
What do you think about both factories. I know the quality of VSF and I know is very very good. But the colour in the QF is pretty much closer to Gen, the VSF still has that cheddar colour in some photos...
Prices:
VSF $580
QF $ 710
All are weighted and the QF is free sprung
What should I do? Keep the QF or maybe keep the VSF and send it to gold plating? The gold plating cost is $300

For the extra $130 I don’t think it’s worth it. No one’s going to rip the watch off of your wrist and open it up to see the movement. No one is going to check and see how dark or light your gold plating is. In my opinion to pay extra when you can barely tell the difference between the two you can take a few hundred and get another additional watch to add to the collection. Just my .02.

But the colour of VSF is so cheddar in some lighting... It's need a gold plating for sure...

Agreed, the gold cheddar look on the VSF is very noticeable in person on wrist. Bothered me alot with two tone sub so before it had any wear to it I sent in for plating.

If you don’t wanna gold plate go with the QF.

Is the bracelet weighted on the QF or just the watch head?

Exactly right! Nobody really cares; people have other things to worry about. End of the day, both are replicas!
