As a new member in RMI, I wanted to post my build process on the upcoming mods that I will be doing to my VSF 126610LN,




as of right now I am learning the basics of the movement components and which parts I need to upgrade (for looks and longevity of the movement), i have been talking to Nikz19 and PsychoTee16 in regards to their recommendation on what parts i should upgrade and learning about the movement itself.

As of now, I have bought some gen parts from Logixa which are

-105 Gen Barrel bridge
-570 Gen Rotor, including gen screw
-125 Gen Pinion bridge



​​​​​​​


I am in the search of -110 Train wheel bridge,-120 Balance bridge, -432 Balance, hands, bezel (sorry in advance if the part numbers are all wrong).

once I have everything ready, I will get in touch with oascom; which is currently waterproofing my watch to complete and install all the gen parts.

Any help, suggestions and/or comments will be highly appreciated, just wanted to start my Franken build up in RMI to show the complete process to new members who would be interested in modding their VSF watch

and more gen parts have come in, I sold my rotor since I came upon a really good deal on an automatic module 3235-145 and I as well bought a minute/canon pinion 3135-335, Nikz19 stated before that these tend to go bad on 50% of the VSF movements, and that a 3135 pinion would work on the 3235 movements.

so here you have a,

3235-145 Automatic module
3135-335 Minute/Canon Pinion
