Hey there,

after reading a lot of positive posts from you guys regarding @xingpatrick i thougt I have to order a franken for myself to see what is it all about. After seeing a post from @LambChopFamily and talked with him about his build (thank you for all the infos!) I pulled the triger and ordered the following :

Build Specifications:
  • Base: VSF Factory
  • Bracelet: VSF Oyster Bracelet
  • Movement: VS3235
  • Dial: Grey Sunburst GEN
  • Hands: GEN
  • Datewheel: GEN
  • Crystal: GEN
  • Crown: GEN
  • Smooth Bezel: GEN
I wanted a CF base and bracelet but was recomended to take the VSF for some QC reasons, but I am ok with that. Got a full polish as free included. From the order to the QC pics it took 2 weeks, which I think is lightning speeds. There are some TDs that do not send QC pics for standard orders. Communication was smooth and professional.

I hope the shipping wont take long and will have this beauty in my hands as soon as possible. Will follow up with pics and infos in a later point. Just wanted to post this as a recomendation if you are looking into a little bit more then a standard CF or VSF clone.

Ordered a Blue DJ41 from him a week ago. He said it was in stock, but he’s had very little communication since payment. I messaged him yesterday morning to ask for an anticipated ship date or QC date, but haven’t heard anything. I used PP via my credit card.

I waited about 15 days for the inital response after payment. With stock he probably had the parts on stock but not the built watch. Would wait out the 2 weeks. As I mentioned if you would even order a watch from a TD it also takes around 1week+ for QC and that is a standard order. I am sure you will have your update in about 1 week

So I received a picture the 2 days ago with what I think is the shipping label and the watch wrapped with the extra report, authenticating the genuine parts. I will say, his communication is next to none, after payment. I only received these pictures after asking with no other message in a week. I keep looking up the tracking number, but nothing comes up.

I figured, lol. Thankfully this is a one and done type situation. Apparently he told others that he no longer has any gen dials. He had everything in stock when I reached out 🤷🏼‍♂️
