Factory intelligence
VSF
Limitations
- This is free factory intelligence, not authentication, certification, or a guarantee of what a seller will deliver.
- Canonical identity is factual identity only. It is not a quality ranking.
- FactoryCoverage is research/coverage metadata. It is not a quality ranking.
- Community ranking is dated guide evidence, not ground truth.
- Historical factory information and historical ranking rows are history. They are not current recommendations.
- Comparison does not inspect a specimen and does not establish factory origin of a listing.
- NWBIG and Super Rep labels are source-guide cell annotations for an exact ranked watch or configuration. They are not a factory-wide quality score and are omitted when the 2026-05-29 workbook fill is not available for that ranked cell.

Identity
Limitations
- Identity research cutoff 2026-08-23.
- Ranking source 2026-05-29.
- Technical release 2026-08-30.
- Curated starting notes for VSF-attributed listings already named on model dossiers. A factory label on a listing is a claim, not a conclusion from photos. Known variance below is what buyers should ask to see; it is not proof that a submitted photo shows a defect. RepTime release posts and a UK listing treat Oyster Perpetual 36 reference 126003 as current VSF production. The movement stays a claimed or probable DD or VS3230 at medium confidence. Do not inherit 41 mm findings. RepTimeQC buyer QCs and an Andiot listing treat GMT-Master II 126710BLRO V4 as current VSF production. Marketed FreeSprung or DD3285 V4 wording stays a source claim. September 2026 V3 listings still coexist. RepTimeQC buyer QCs treat Datejust 41 126334 V3 as current VSF production. Marketed DD3235 or Free Sprung wording stays a source claim. V2 and V2s listings still coexist. RepTimeQC buyer QCs treat Cosmograph Daytona 126519LN V3 as current VSF weighted production. Marketed 4131 or Free Sprung wording stays a source claim. Earlier weighted or V2-era listings still coexist. RepTimeQC buyer QCs treat GMT-Master II 126710GRNR V4 as current VSF production. Marketed Free Sprung or DD3285 V4 wording stays a source claim. Earlier V2 listings still coexist. RepTimeQC buyer QCs and current dealer listings treat GMT-Master II 126710BLNR V4 as current VSF production. Marketed DD3285 or Free Sprung wording stays a source claim. V3 listings still coexist. A 2025 V4 label used VR3285 and stays a separate historical collision. RepTimeQC buyer QCs from October 2026 treat Explorer II 226570 Polar as current VSF production. Marketed DD3285 wording stays a source claim. Black-dial listings stay dealer-listed only. This is not a factory rank.
- Version is not resolved from listing photos in this MVP. Treat this as a single qualitative snapshot, not a production-date score.

- Treat current VSF GMT-Master II 126710BLRO V4 listings as an observed market label. FreeSprung or DD3285 V4 wording remains a marketed claim. V3 still coexists.

- Treat current VSF GMT-Master II 126710GRNR V4 listings as an observed market label. Free Sprung or DD3285 V4 wording remains a marketed claim. Earlier V2 listings still coexist.
- Treat current VSF GMT-Master II 126710BLNR V4 listings as an observed market label. DD3285 or Free Sprung wording remains a marketed claim. V3 still coexists. A 2025 V4/VR3285 label stays a separate historical collision.
- Treat current VSF Explorer II 226570 Polar listings as an observed market label. DD3285 wording remains a marketed claim. Black-dial listings stay dealer-listed only.
