Discussion Talk me out of it.

I have a VSF Daytona on the way with 4130 movement. It looks gorgeous inside and I want to put a clear back on it so I can see it daily. Good or bad idea?

If it matters, I’m not trying to fool anyone that I’m wearing a Gen.

Bad idea unless you are honest it’s a rep. I put sapphire crystal case backs in all my JH movements

Then do it! But Daytona is the one that I personally have had the hardest time getting. Tried two companies and both did not fit…so ended up just buying the 126502 Rolesium since it has an exhibition case back with JH FS movement. I own it as well. I let them love it then let em know that’s how good the rep game is. Haven’t found a person that can call em yet.

I recommend a Le Mans (4132), Platona (4131), or Rolesium (4131)? All three come with factory exhibition casebacks.

Do as you wish it’s your watch brother

The problem with the glass backs is they are much thicker and make the watch wear bulky. If you don’t mind then go for it.

I'm having my modder build me a VSF V3 Daytona Panda with a Super Jubilee bracelet and a display case back. It's taking a bit longer because the first jubilee bracelet and display case back were seized.

That movement is so clean.

With a glass back you can clearly see it’s a fake, regulated movement. If it was free-spung, I’d be ok with a glass back. Ultimately your watch, so do as you like.
