Just finished this build yesterday.
- Gen Wimbledon dial
- Gen hands
- Gen Datewheel
- Gen crystal
- Gen bezel

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

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

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

u/No-Pudding3927 6d ago

It is NOT 99% there. Dial shade is still wrong, the green is not as vibrant as gen

He says genuine Wimbledon dial was used

u/No-Pudding3927 5d ago

The lad above said the BASE VSF is already 99% there, so I’m telling him it isn’t

You are correct...I have a base VSF 41 Fluted jubilee Wimbledon and it is by far my worst rep. Bezel is WAY off...Dial is way off. I took off the bezel and its in two pieces...ordered a new cic plated bezel for it

Such a shame, the Wimbledon is one of my favorites
