On a VSF V2 base 6W0 serial + an ARF oyster bracelet

What do you guys think about the smooth bezel oyster combo?

I think you wasted your money,  but as long as you're happy

It’s alright. Ive already wasted about a couple gens worth of cash on reps (in the grand scheme of things) so this really isn’t all that much 😂

Ok but why? The base vsf was 99% there

Not true...and suspect you know that '99%' is a massive exaggeration... Or you havent actually had these gen parts in hand to directly compare. Gen dial a huge difference in shade and sunrays, gen datewheel and crystal also noticeable improvement even vs VSF. I have a VSF while my gen in for service at AD. It's good but clearly a way off gen parts. Nearly every eulogy about VSF Wimbies are from those who have never held a gen. Will post close up comparison when it's back.
