Absolutely terrific job.
I only learned about the marker being bigger couple of months ago from RWI didn't even notice that myself despite having a gen dial on my 114060 franken.
As I also bought a gen 114060 recently so if someones interested I can part out the franken 114060. Its on CF base so CF case and CF/ARF bracelet with 3x gen removable links, gen insert, gen dial, gen autowind (mounted on serviced SA3130), gen crown, 2x set of gen hands not in new condition, gen full set click springs. Those gen parts I still have + rep CF parts from that build.

The watch is not complete at the moment I removed the gen crystal for another watch so it needs new crystal and bezel fitted so I can sell it as is or as parts.

I been looking at the 114060 lately, and the reviews seem to point towards the VSF and Clean factories as having the best versions available. I've recently seen a couple of posts from people that have ordered Jtime's exclusive Clean Factory "ultimate" edition, and I've checked it out myself on their website (link to ultimate 114060 on Jtime). It looks great.
I haven't seen a post/review by anyone that has received their QC pics or that has actually received the watch, so I thought I'd ask if anyone has received theirs and could provide us an update on this version.
I was initially planning to get a VSF, and I'm aware that asking "what's better" is subjective, but I think that many of us are curious if anyone could say whether or not this upgraded Clean Factory "ultimate" 114060 may be better (closer to gen) than the VSF and worth the extra $60 or so.
Thanks

Hard to say without having both of them in hands to close inspection.
it is up to you in the end
i have the VSF 114060 post raid and will not sell just to get the CF “ultimate” or order it.
but the again, this is me and you need to decide for yourself
Thinking about going franken (gen dial/hands/bezel/insert/crown+tube). So all I care about is case and bracelet. What would be my best option in that case?
When you want to go the franken way it comes down to rehaut vs crownguards…
To me, VSF has the better crown guards, even though cf has updated theirs. The better rehaut goes to CLEAN, I had the ZZF V3 and the 116610 from CF and rehaut was perfect. VSFs rehaut is pretty good but to me not that good… so it’s up to you what you can get away with easier
Bracelet quality is good on both but you can switch this easily… so not a dealbreaker for me. I do have a fully frankend VSF 114060 ;-)
Cheers

Thanks mate, I'll go with CF then. Cheaper, and I'll be looking more at the rehaut then the CG's. Or are the CG's that bad?
And paying a crazy premium.......
Personally I don't see the real advantages of those extra supposed-to-be improvement parts on this CF 14 Sub
To me and many other members here it is… The finish of the VS is another level! Also the VS takes a gen balance if you want to franken your movement too. The CF does not take a gen balance and bridge. If you don’t care go with the CF. I totally agree that the CF with VS movement is proved very high so for me, I would go VS ;-)
