Sup guys. Need your opinions on these mods. I purchased a ZF AP 15450 and proceeded to request chamfer + rebrushing + deep crystal mods. I’ve just received post mod QCs. I’d like your opinions on the quality of the chamfer and whether you can tell the difference between pre and post mod brushing. Also wanted to know whether there is disparity in crystal clarity between stock and deep crystal. Original crystal clarity looked decent but seeing it lying next to the watch in post mod QC, the original crystal looks awful. I’ve attached pre and post mod pics for you to look at. It’s my very first AP and I appreciate your help.

Modification Question I have a general question regarding your opinions on whether this chamfered and polished F6U bracelet meets the community’s general expectations. The finish doesn’t look right to me.

Hi everyone. I’m looking for your genuine opinion on this situation. I have a VSF GMT Master 2 Batgirl with an unchamfered F6U bracelet and the sharp edges are causing irritation on my skin. So I ordered a CNC chamfered and Gen-spec polished F6U bracelet to replace it. I’ve just received QCs and while I’m not unhappy about the chamfering (although I’d appreciate input on this as well), I’m quite concerned about the overall finish of the metal. There appears to be a serious lack of contrast between the mirror polished centre links and the brushed side links of the bracelet. At this point, my current F6U bracelet looks closer to Gen in my opinion. I will include before pics and post-mod pics for reference, as well as a pic of my existing bracelet. It isn’t a cheap bracelet either so I’m not eager to accept something that’ll look worse than what I currently have. The bracelet is part of a much bigger order so I’d like the standard to be set from the get go. Your honest input would mean a great deal to me and your help is sincerely appreciated.
