The only "flaw" is the hands don't match the dial lume. Put gen hands on and your golden. I don't think gen date wheels are worth it anymore.

My local dealer has this dial for his Hulk build, along with Gen crystal and DW.

Just a quick one. Really impressed with your work and it has inspired me to do the same to my VSF 116610LV. I have just had a ZF dial installed and ordered a CF inlay and gen hands. I will be having the movement serviced when they are all fitted.

Is there anything I have missed? Is it worth adding a gen datewheel too?
Is it worth upgrading VSF Crystal to Gen?

I recently upgraded the hands to gen as well.

The VSF date wheel is pretty good, but i had a gen at hand so i upgraded. You 100% need to upgrade the crystal. The Vsf is the best rep crystal on the market, but it is still far from the quality of the gen.

Did you rebrush the case and bracelet?

No, its some of the parts from this build. (The hands, and the bracelet/clasp) And other parts are leftover parts. There is a description in the sales tread

Since the original post/review, i've done some upgrades, so this is the current and final build details. Not really a budget build anymore :)

Case: VSF
Inlay: CF v3-1-7
Bracelet/clasp: ZZF, better lines then the VSF (Bracelet, clasp and case has been re-brushed with Bergeon blocks, to give it that nice gen satin look)
Movement: Serviced VSF
Dial: ZF, shaved to fit the case
Date wheel: Gen
Hands: Gen
Crystal: Gen

did you leave the hour markers as it is? how is the quality? a lot of people complaining about the lume quality and color of zf dial.
