I have a two questions

1. Is the dial (blue) on VSF concidered to have a more accurate dial than ARF v2? I think my ARF looks a bit too bright/dull compared to gen based on pics/videos.

2. Can you install an VSF dial in a ARF that has gen DW?

If anyone in EU can do this mod, please PM me. My modder Interaktiv appears to be very busy at the moment.

Before some smart one tells me "read the thread before asking" I must defend myself with that I once contributed to this thread about half way in with comparison pics of gen DW and crystal and so on but lets face it, I'm not gonna read 2500 posts, sorry:)

Here is my "ancient" ARF v2 with gen DW and crystal.

I can answer the question of the dial fitment : the vsf dial is made for the vsf3235 movement , so the gen dial is plug and play ..... but its not fitting on the A2824 movement on your arf . I've asked Interaktiv 2 month ago and he said it needs to be modded , actually not an easy mod i think :) i think it would be easier to buy an vsf dj , build in your gen date and xtal and sell the arf :)

bro i was reasearching a lot too and i must agree that blue dial on vsf is closer to gen than the arf,so blue dial from vsf will be amazing on your arf case( live that sharp genlike lugs they are simply perfect)
this is comparison pictures with gen and vsf is still off but a slightly IMO and noticable only when there are many lights from office and you can see that sunburst is more harsh than gen,but color is 90% here and sunburst is closer than arf because in lower lights is almost perfect,arf have too strong sunburst imo...
here are
comparisons

Also the vsf on direcct sunlight is very close to gen
here is gen for example and some shots with vsf from reddit guy

Thank you both gentlemen for answers! I guess I was a bit fast buying the VSF dial. Well well, live and learn I guess :)

The VSF dial I bought seem to have this heavy dark blue color I love, but maybe that's just the lightning.

Would't a VSF dial in a ARF base be the the same procedur as putting a gen dial in an ARF base (which has been done several of times)?

Interaktiv seem to be very busy or maybe sick so I'm stuck with no answers right now.

Call me stupid but then it sound like you can install a VSF in an ARF base by asking/paying the modder for a movement ring-modd when installing!?

A gen dial (and VSF, if it also have groove like feet of the gen 12xxxx series) can be fitted on ARF, need some modding.

Tickleshoes Contact him, he is CONUS based and has done one for me.

If I use VSF dial on my ARF, will the lume of hands is going to be the same color (dial and hands) ? Or the lume colors are different?

Lume is probably going to be different. i dont see the point of putting a VSF dial in the ARF watch. Then just sell your ARF and buy a VSF ;)
Best to franken it with a genuine dial.

I got gen datewheel and crystal on my ARF. But a gen dial cost a lot and the color of VSF Dial look better and almost the same as the gen dial.

Is putting a vsf dial on a ARF easy mod ? And which mod need to be done ???

mr, congratulations your bezel is super clean, what product do you use to clean your bezel, to get it so clean and shiny? soap always leaves me traces. THANK YOU

Hey mate,i use simple hand soap and ultra soft toothbrush,btw from time to time i take cloth and every single dent on bezel needs to be polished with cloth
