Lovely bro. Gen Crystal, dial and crown not needed in your view?
Crystal and dial would be an upgrade. The CF dial is good, nice markers, but the lume has a *slight* pinkish hue in some light conditions.

But recently i swapped the case to a VSF - much better crown guards and overall shape.

Gen dial on clean
I have the exact same dial on a 116520 build...gen bezel, hands, crown, xtal, and as well as some gen 4130 movement parts. Recently added a tan Everest strap with end-link. One of my absolute favorite watches, including over my gens.
