Any updates on orders gents?

TD has told me hopefully after today ( labour day holiday) VSF will resume?

I have never received QC within hours, he confirmed my payment yesterday, I usually get my QC's within 4 days or so.
I specifically asked if he had this model in stock before ordering.

Hmm... Had to go back through messages. You ordered through Trusty on the 19th?

I ordered with trusty on the 20th he told me there was stock. However he told me on Friday (just gone) he is waiting for stock.

I ordered from Puretime on March 31.
paid 04/05
Received and approved QC on 04/08
04/09 was told it would be sent out same day.
04/14 I asked for a tracking number.
04/15 was told tracking lost the watch and because of the raid it would take “1-2 weeks” to get another.

I’m hoping for an update soon, but nothing as of yet.

ahh mate that is not great. Most likely you will be waiting till VSF opens again and ships out stock to TD's.

I will update when things progress.

got this mod list from BK for the VSF 126610LN he offers

- line up dial 12 o'clock marker to the engraved Rolex coronet on the rehaut (based on a best-fit effort only)
- shorten crystal gasket (because it can be too tall) to make crystal sit lower
- reinstall crystal to line up the cyclops to the date window
- reinstall bezel insert to line it up with the dial (It's very risky and not easy. You need a special tool)
- tighten bezel (hard to do as well)
- set proper crown stem length. The factory sometimes make it too long which puts pressure on the movement and can diminish WR

does it make sense to buy the watch from him just because of the mods?

Hello folks.

I have a problem with my 126610LV. Anyone has an idea ?

The problem is the bezel. It was flushy, when I press on the bezel it was wobbling and then the bezel started to come off and I removed it easily.
I put it on again but it was doing the same and removed easily again.

There was only 4 ball like pins on the watch

and thats it. No ring or etc under the bezel. Is it normal ?

Here are the photos.

mod price 120$.
but what does the price have to do with my question of whether these mods are interesting of a good upgrade of the VSF stock watch?

The price is important to understand whether the expense is worth the service provided.
If you are a discerning person and can afford to spend an extra 120 dollars then it is worth it.
If you want to spend the extra $120 to take a girl out to dinner, it's a better investment because no one is going to look under a microscope to make sure the rehaut on your watch is perfectly aligned.
