Unfortunately the font on the white dial VSF is too bold and seems off to me. Hope they'll fix this when the gen is out, then it would be a stunner!

I think the newer gens are like this. I find it to be a plus.
Thats not a nice looking watch! To much going on in the Dial. What is that arrow at the 12 marker and why is it on top of the original 12 marker?!
Has anyone attempted to regulate this movement?
It seems to differ from other decorated movements based on the 2836.
I only see one adjustment arm on the balance bridge.
Is this the arm to adjust tension / length of hairspring?
If so, what have they done with 'Beat rate' arm? is it fixed or hidden or something esle?

Finally received my watch from Lucy 5 months later. First watch was taken by customs. What do you guys think?

Nice! How is the blue compared to gen? It seems darker, but could be lighting. Would you be so kind to take an outdoor daylight picture?
I know it can be done, but I don't know the answers to your questions as I had mine done for me. I had mine serviced by Katt. I know he wasn't sure how the deco plate was attached at first, but he figured it out and was able to service the movement and he said he was able to regulate it a bit as well.
any tips for a link that fits the 2018 version well will be appreciated ! thank you !
Is it possible to relume the markers and hands with pure white lume? Is it an expensive mod?
I have been meaning to do a review on the Rubber straps that are currently available for this one. I have the Rep Rubber and a very nice Rubber Strap from Zealande, but I do not have one from Ali or the OEM. I have been wearing the $88 Rep one as it is 1/2 the cost of the Zealande and is really pretty nice. If someone can provide a link to the one on Ali I will order it and order an OEM and do a review of all 4. IDK, I have spent time before & just now searching on ALI and I can't find anything. Their search doesn't seem to work like my mind does....
Of course it is possible, but the real question is should you do it or is it worth it? Do you already have the watch or are you just asking because of all of the recent posts about this? If you don't already own the watch, just order it after looking closely at the QC pics and see what you think once you have it in hand. There are A LOT of pics that get posted that are taken in bad light or taken by someone that doesn't understand lighting and how to take a good pic of a watch and these pics can be very deceiving. I am just one guy with 1 opinion, but in my opinion mine is really nice and I don't feel any need what so ever to relume it.

Yeah, I actually owned one and sold it here on RWI a few weeks ago. Because of that I know that the lume issue is for real. Some owners might be luckier than others, but overall it seems that no one here has the pure white lume that is advertised by many TDs.
Other than that this watch is absloutely amazing and a real beauty on the wrist. But the lume affects the overall impression imo..
