in this photo it was still the stock cf dial, now I have put the gen dial, the difference is in the reflections, the rep dial in some lights produces the usual laser beams


Thank you! The CF looks very good. I just ordered the gen dial, sub007 is selling really cheap so I bought it. Prefer the blue or rhodium but more expensive. Your pic is giving me reason to order, looks beautiful! My config will be gen dial, gen hands, Xing bezel and deep xtal on VSF base

You can keep VSF xtal, not an improvement installing deep

Where did you find the gen dial? I’m currently looking for one.
Here is my clean green with deep xtal and Xing bezel

Someone tried to assembly an oyster bracelet from VSF or GMF/BP on Clean case? I would know if they are suitable and SELs are acceptable

Beautiful watch with textured dial.. From which TD did you got it ?

Does the textured dial look like gen ?

VSF has fixed the 9 hour marker. Why Clean isn't fixing it? It's such an easy fix and they would sell a lot more wimbledon.

Love these posts Steve, I appreciate the time they must take to do, an excellent resource to decide what whatch is closest to what we are prepared to accept compared to gen.

@jtks Out of curiosity: Do you have a any source/link for this? Heard different things about VSF fixing the 9 index marker - some saying only for the 41mm model, others say for the 36mm also. I am in the process of buying such one - and hope to get one with the updated/fatter 9 index.

Vsf 36mm is fixed 100%. Clean is still incorrect.

Try and ask your TD

41mm never came with the wrong 9 marker since first release. It's only the 36mm.

For SS Wimbledon 36, VSF fixed it, Clean hasn't.
For TT Wimbledon 36, both VSF and Clean got the right 9 marker.

Very pretty watch. Out of curiosity did you notice any difference in the bezel from Xing. It seems on my clean datejust the Bezel is already platinum plated whereas the vsf datejust I have is just stainless steel. Id be interested to know if you can see much difference after the upgrade?
