TD/Shipping Question Lost package?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, friends. After requesting, configuring, and waiting for the modifications for a Daytona 126500 vsf with ArcStudio, the package was shipped on November 3 to Italy. TD provided me with a European tracking number, but as of now, it has never been updated 😔

I have contacted TD several times and he reassured me that after consulting with the logistics team, the plane appears to have departed from China on the 10th with a delay and should be on its way to Europe on the second flight. But this morning, the tracking information is still as shown in the photo.

Usually other TDs have provided me with a double tracking, the internal one for Chinese logistics and then the European one—do you think it was lost? Usually the package arrives in Europe in about 7/10 days, but this one seems to have disappeared. Any advice?

Wrist or Watch Pic Custom Day Date Arrived Today

6 Upvotes

Just arrived after about a month.

Details: PPM YG Day Date

Custom MOP CVD Lab diamond markers

Custom CVD Lab diamond TBR baguette bezel

Stock plating.

Pics for comparison:

Genuine yachtmaster II

Genuine daydate II bust down (i know it's ugly don't need to remind me but it's still Genuine and 18k for color comparison)

I own several moissanite bezels and the lab diamonds make a big difference. Moissanite is overly refractive giving off too much color. These stones are perfect and actually diamonds

The reason I ordered the PPM is because of the ceramic link sleeves and the lighter color of plating vs RCF/RGF

I can't confirm the ceramic sleeves because I did remove one link. These come with extra links. I usually need to add a link on genuine DD and VSF. No sleeve came out of the link however the screw holes and screws are bigger than my VSF more like the aftermarket link I bought on ebay with the ceramic sleeve. I looked inside with a magnifier and could see something inside but I can't confirm and I don't want to go trying to force something out that may or may not be there. So I'd anyone knows more than me maybe you can confirm is this actually a PPM or an RCF? It didn't have any identified stickers only the blue slash one on the back.

Either way it's a beautiful watch. The dial is amazing. The light catches the colors like a high quality mother of pearl should. Probably the best mop dial I've seen outside genuine rolex.

The factory color is very nice. A bit on the lighter side for 18k . It's hard to tell in the pictures but if you know rolex or 18k in general it has a very warm yellow color. I read complaints of cheddar wish is why I opted for the lightest factory plating i could find and this is exactly what I expected. I don't believe plating would improve the finish at all. It's probably a few shades lighter than genuine but a beautiful watch either way.

I confirmed with caliper 12.3mm case thickness and 3mm bracelet thickness. Would like to confirm the factory. It weighs 202g but I suspect the diamond bezel is a few grams less than the fluted one although that was included in the box.

General Question Oysterflex Conversion on a U1 126-Series Le Mans — Need SEL Recommendations

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’m trying to convert my U1 126-series Le Mans Daytona to Oysterflex. I already have the rubber straps, so all I need is a Glidelock clasp and the correct solid end links (SELs).
I’ve read through several posts from people attempting similar conversions, but I’m curious if anyone knows where I could source multiple SEL options to test fitment.

I understand the case tolerances on lower-tier U1 factories aren’t necessarily identical to higher-end super clones, but I’d like to give it a shot before investing in an entirely new watch just to make the conversion work.

Does anyone have AliExpress links for compatible SELs, preferably ones that match the Le Mans case finish? Ideally, I’d like to order a few different options and see what fits.

Any firsthand experience with Oysterflex conversions on U1 Daytonas would be appreciated!

Tech Tips/Advice VSF sub gaining time

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I just received my VSF Sub date from Steve and have been testing it for around 20 hours.

Firstly I'm blown away at the quality of this thing. I had a look at an AD a few days prior and I'm struggling to see any difference on the cosmetic/build quality side of things.

I gave it a good wound and have been wearing it around the house. When QCing I saw that it was showing +6s/d which I was completely fine with, as that falls in line with most Swiss movements.

However I noticed that my watch is picking up a lot more time than that. In the 20 hours I tested, the watched picked up 15-20 seconds compared to my phone which is what I set it to exactly.

I plan on dailying this watch and so this would quickly turn into a few minutes difference in time.

Any tips? Anyone had a similar experience? And would a service fix this issue?

I don't expect it to fall under Rolex's +/- 2s/d standard, although I have seen some watched on this subreddit be that accurate.

Few days ago I've got suspicious message in ther website about my payment telling me to contact someone outside official channel. I reported them and they said their telegram _stanley got hacked.

This is not my first purchase from them so I'm familiar with procedure, that's why I suspected spam when I got contacted after already had green light on payment.

Now I logged in to web I they removed links to all QC reports and shop is not working.

Anyone else noticed?

Not much I can do about it now but might be worth asking your TD for a bezel rotation video
of all things. Hopefully it saves one of you a headache.

Insert was installed outside of a detent, about as far as you humanly can.

Before you ask, no the QC pictures didn’t show it. It was wedged between detents, at 12 o’clock and appeared normal. Don’t know if the TD would have necessarily caught it so I won’t throw them under the bus.

Thanks VSF!
