It doesn’t work. The size or location of the engraving puts it out of whack. No amount of shifting will fix it. It’s not a huge deal though. Looks awesome on the wrist.

It’s currently with OASCOM getting serviced and Gen parts installed but he has a backlog so I would assume at least another week before I know anything

Oh ok makes sense! I'm curious myself as I have a franken project myself I'm deciding what to do with.
is anyone else having the following 'issue' when pulling out the crown?
Sometimes* when I pull the crown out to stop the seconds hand it feels as if it has come out but it is not the case as the seconds hands continue to move. It feels as if it is getting stuck on the notch before fully coming out.
Other times it pulls out fine stopping the seconds hands.
The opposite also happened where when I pushed the crown in the seconds did not start. This issue only happened once.
*seems like it is fixed it self for now..

ordering without having seen it is a bit risky, but since the classic model is successful. VSF had to manage this hulk, I also tell myself by having the first pieces vsf will surely pay more attention to quality control

the only unknown is the insert and the dial, but seeing how they have done it with LN I don't think they screw it up with LV. If these VSF and Gen photos are real, it's awesome !!

Yep, I just went back to my QC pics from 8th October and it looks like the first 'R' is in the gap and not aligned to the marker. I didn't pick it up before because there's no clear shot of the rehaut on that angle. Oh well, I'll just think of it as a collector's item.
If that is the issue, is that something expensive/difficult to fix? I wonder if I should let my TD know, thoughts?

Perfect attitude for this hobby! Love it
Yes, I have the same issue too with the vsf too. Sometimes, it feels like I’m unable to pull the the crown out fully to adjust the time. I need to slightly rotate the crown a little more before it ‘engages’ and stops the second hand.
The watch also stopped a few times even after I pushed the crown back in. The solution was to again pull the crown back out, and then tap it near the crown guard area. Once I do this, the seconds hand will start to move when the crown is pushed back in again.
I'm going with a Keyless Works issue as the cause: https://wornandwound.com/watchmaker...keyless-works-and-the-hand-setting-mechanism/
