VSF's quality is impressive. Only if I liked Datejusts. Maybe it's a good thing that I don't like DJs. Can save the money for ARF Rolexes lol.

Thanks for posting this thread, and great pix.
In the first few posts the blue reflection on the cyclops is impossible not to see. With a gen crystal, these improve so much it’s nuts. Here’s the gen crystal with CF crystal on top of it, with the same light source making 2 different color reflections (blue ring and white ring)
No it’s not a VSF, just illustrating what I see in the first few pix of this thread on page 1…

Great
I did notice that the gen crystal with the blue smooth bezel franken in page 1 had a blue tint too. Perhaps there's variation in gen crystals? I know after a certain period they started doing AR underneath the crystal as well.
As always, it's a beautiful thing to combine knowledge
Great photos for comparison!Thanks for posting this thread, and great pix.

The 7036 gen crystal is indeed AR’d, the earlier one is not, I have the number somewhere
So yes, my gen crystal has the full AR not just cyclops.

The VSF 126334 fluted motif dial is a thing of pure beauty. The engravings are very much 3D and beautifully done. An absolute knockout. When the gen dials come out for swaps, I will be sure to compare them to these shots.

Well that’s just perfect now isn’t is! Might have to sell my gen dial!

Here's the green for comparison as well. Without a doubt, the greatest dial release from any factory to date. I sincerely doubt a gen dial is needed here. Highly, highly recommend you grab a fluted VSF 126334. I am beyond impressed.
Note: this is a modded watch, but dial is stock

Marvelous rep, well worth getting it as a base for a franken
These fluted VSF 126334 look fantastic. I have been looking for the past few days for a TD that sells these but am only coming up with clean factory equivalent from
jtime, for example. Any recommendations?

Keep in mind, those are modified VS 126334s.
Having owned all of them (GMF, JDF, Z66 VS, Z80 VS and CFv2) I swear the CFv2 is the best out of the box.
I’d post more pix of mine but it’s also modded but it won’t help illustrate the out of the box quality. (dial and crystal are gen, VS movement, hands and crown)
