First order from Li/Jtime - VSF 116610LV New K25 Serial

[nyguy42]

I just placed my first order with Li only moments ago, and thus far, he has been unbelievably helpful and responsive over email. He confirmed I'd be receiving the new K25 serial of the 116610LV from VSF, which I am super excited about as it has the updated dial and the 7GJ clasp code (most recent for the 11 series). For those unaware, the K25 is supposed to have a much more accurate dial to gen regarding coloring and "sunburst." Looking forward to seeing this thing in person in a few weeks, and I will update you with the status and QC pics. In the meantime, does anyone have good recs for mods? TIA

Update: I received QC pics the night I submitted payment, and upon first look, a few things looked a bit funky (lower dial text, bezel, and date window looked misaligned), so I decided I should probably reject the watch. They sent a few higher-quality follow-up pics within 24 hours, and things looked worse (I also noticed the lower SEL and bracelet didn't align well, and the "30" on the bezel looked misaligned and uncentered), so I again said I wanted to reject the watch. Had it been a minor but fixable error or even two, I would have accepted it, but things kept getting worse the more I looked at it. I've read a lot and seen many pictures about how top-notch the VSF Subs have been lately, and this just made me uncomfortable. On the bright side, the new K25 dial looks fantastic. So, now we are waiting for what's next.
