Jtime has ARF Oyster Bracelets available currently. They come off a CF as they come standard with ARF Oyster. I am in the process of getting on for my VSF DJ41.

You know that the newest VSF Datejusts are also equipped with braclets from the same supplier as ARF braclets right?
There is zero need (in case you got a relevant new VSF Datejust batch) to order additional ARF braclets.
I‘m talking about Jubilee btw.
I personally have VSF on a Jubilee right now, but I am creating a Franken 126300 (Gen smooth bezel, Dial, hands) and I want like the Oyster, hence why I am getting the bracelet only from Jtime.

Gentlemen, recently purchased two VSF DJ 41 with oyster bracelets. Was looking forward to wear the new timepiece after the long wait, but unfortunately they don’t fit my wrist and will require one additional link on each watch. (Note- the easylink is extended)
Does anyone have two spare links that I can purchase? I will cover the shipping as well. If so, please PM me.
Thanks in advance.

Hope so too. There’s a really big market for the 36 mm just as the 41 mm. And women will also be part of it.
I’m guessing the big difference in small size of the movement parts makes it’s harder to put together and work with which is why the 41 mm is more common. Just my two cents.
If you decide to sell an Oyster Bracelet as they don't fit, let me know. I have been searching for Bracelet only for some time.

Hey guys,
what's your opinion about servicing? I had a VSF Datejust bought 1 1/2 years ago which first had some issues with a spare part and my watchsmith changed it after I bought the spare part for him at ebay (original one). The watch was fine for about a year and then the crown tube broke. My watchsmith said it would cost to much to repair it so I ordered a new Datejust.
Some people say servicing is important, some say don't do anything as long as it works. My watchsmith said he will not give it a service, since he thinks he could damage it. As long as it works he recommends not to do anything.
Servicing would cost about 200-300 Euros and I had to send it to a watchsmith and it takes about 3 monts to get it back. I actually think it would be smarter to order the same watch twice to have spare parts just in case and save the money for servicing ... also because there's no guarantee, that servicing will increase life period of a watch.
What's your opinition? Is the VSF Movement good enough to not service it (my watchsmith said it's the best rep movement he saw).
Regards

Every single rep movement should be serviced prior to use. I service them, and 90% come filthy, or dry, or both. After hundreds of “brand new” watches being disgusting I won’t wear anything until it’s serviced (I’m fortunate to do my own and am equipped with the tools to do so, so there is no cost incurred unless it’s a tool I don’t yet have. Which just benefits more as time goes on)
If I had to pay 200 bucks on top of every watch to get serviced I’d do so in a heartbeat. I’ll show you pix of a brand new VSF movement, standby…

Brand new, VSF PAM, P.9001 or 10 (it’s been a while) notice the pallet jewels are bone dry and escape wheel has black gunk? This was preventing this movement from running: the gunk was like sticky silly putty. This is not a unique experience, it was just one I documented for the TD who sent it to me for repair. Brand new, from the factory.
Again not unique, just one I happened to document.

Thank you very much for your answer.
If you had to give a recommendation to someone who doesn't want to pay that much and who has a watchsmith who just wants to do the "minimum", what steps do you recommend? Full Service seems to be impossible where I live, but maybe my watchsmith agrees to do some steps of the service procedure at least. What is the most important to do?
