Yes that’s right, if u don’t want engraving on the plates then it’s about 1300. The mods includes SW dial, hands, pinions, beveled indices and also some case polishing and making the end links more flexible
Do you know how much of a cost adder the free sprung balance is?

Yes I will! Also it took about five weeks from order to QC.
Hi,
Chanzingtime wrote me :

“The difference is on the movement. The 1k version has a stock PPF movement while the 3k version has the VSV modded movement”

If you paid €1688 probably you’re an engraved PPF stock movement, not VSV clone .

Any good watchmakers in Europe , that can service the ppf and vsv movement ?

The watch is here! I can’t be happier … the movement engraving and dial the bracelet and case… is superb! Putting this replica next to my gen JLC MC geographic which costs 10x more … I actually dunno why I would need a gen lol!!

Congrats on your beautiful watches. That JLC is one of favs. Too bad it hasn't been rapped with correct dimensions afaik.

Small issue with the watch it seems the rotor is not winding the mainspring. Looking closer at the movement the micro rotor winding pinion is not engaging I am contacting chazingtime to see if they can help fix this …

It is a good opportunity to give the movement a good overhaul...
Won't work. Gears aren't touching.

Funnily or strangely enough, that part is always covered in the pics lol

I talk to couple of experts and modders about the new ACE movement ( or someone called it VSV). The vast majority advice against install it and all agree it's not stable.

The one I have is actually the one with PFF/vsf movement not the vsv free spring movement - I sent it to a watchmaker hopefully it is just a tension spring that is installed the wrong way
