Hello everyone. As I mentioned before I am building a VSF 41 DateJust with GEN parts.

Thanks to many guys who helped me source some of the parts.

So far I bought the
1) GEN Blue Azure Dial
2) GEN hands that match the Dial
3) GEN DW

Now I am hunting for a GEN crystal. I found a couple of ones with minor scratches but I prefer something new or used in perfect condition.

Any advise where I can find a GEN crystal will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

But isn’t €500 euro a bit over priced ?

Im not the one who is selling it bro. They are more rare to find than Sub or GMT xtals so hence the price difference imo

There are a vew on here (as of the other day). If not hit up viper on TRF.. Are you in the USA? There are a number of people who can get you one on this forum (M2M) or TRF.

Chrono 24, it is overpriced at 500 EU but you can submit an offer for market value which is about... $375 usd

I've also noticed there really aren't enough pics of this dial (accurately representing it anyway) so I figured I'd post a few to show the range of colors and tone and sunburst effect.

VSF did a great job with this model and the dial reminds me the the dial on the Panerai 605. I think they used the same process because way the sunburst reflects light, it's unique and they're very similar. In my opinion.

Yeah, fits without any problem.

does it? That’s good to know because I don’t think I like the bracelet at all. I’ve never had a watch have such a loud audible tell as this does. Lol. I flip open the clasp and the bracelet squeaks in like literally 4 places. I might try to quiet it if I can.



Hazing is it a gen 116619 ? The blue of the dial is beautiful.. this can't be the VSF blue dark dial.


That is the VSF 116619LB. The dial is really good and it changes depending on the light. Not drastically but enough that you see it. I posted some in the smurf thread I think when it came in.

Yes due to the sunburst shown in the video, I believe it is. Best way to tell is in direct sunlight, or even some bright inside lights, and you'll see all these crazy "light ray blades" if it's a rep. Gens can sometimes have this effect, but they won't be as exaggerated as a rep. Can't tell for certain on your video because it's overcast, but the way it goes dark and lighter grey at the same time and "uniformly" is certainly indicative of gen.

I will take a video of mine and show you. Supposed to be sunny tomorrow, fingers crossed.
