Lol I’m telling you what I simply heard.
And geektime he’s a VERY KNOWN seller in Reddit.
Also Jtime selling cf no date with VS movement so I guess that’s another reason

Not talking about you buddy, but about folks on Reddit who believe that because a dealer is well known that makes them a TD
I ordered the vsf because of the clockwerk, tube and crown, hands, crystal .
My clean tube ist lousy short. Shape of case wasn't nice too (I had tod sandpaper it because of the bezel not sitting directly onto the case). The vr 3235 is loud too. Perhaps it was a monday watch.
I asked the trusted dealer for a separat case but he told me that clean doesn't deliver single cases).
I haven't read about quality issues of clean. Seems to be a single problem.
P.S.
I won't tell the name of the td.
(watches of jtime and of steve have been flawless).
I read that the case have wrong engravings when you remove the bracelet on this one. It is true?
I would agree with you about the crystal but regarding getting it white plated I'm not sure. I've owned a white gold plated bezel and changed it back to stock (steel) bezel on my franken as I personally think it was slightly too orange/yellow. And it will get more orange/yellow as time goes by as white gold does.
Rolex uses a "secret" inhouse mix of metals that would simply be called white gold on most webpages but if you search deeper you'll understand that it's not that simple.
Anyway, it's a matter of taste I guess but take in mind that it will only be plated (and can get scratched off) and that it will get more orange/yellow by time.
On videos I've studied on gens can't see the bezel being that orange as white gold plated I've seen here or hold in my hand.
Thanks for sharing your opinion mate, much appreciated!
Are you wearing the CF Stock bezel? They did plate it with something making it more gen like then VSF/ARF bezel, which is pure SS.
here is my franken CF. It’s got a VS3235 movement with Gen datewheel, dial, hands, crystal and gasket. The bezel is a VS. Unfortunately the crown 605 doesn’t fit the tube and I’m not not sure if the the 5340 tube will fit. Waiting for someone to confirm if the gen 5340 tube fits.
