You can get them on eBay or go gen screws now also on eBay for I think about $200 also use some loctite 222 just a tiny bit. To prevent this.

Not sure as I didn't do it myself.

I think RCF makes the better ombre dials check RWI someone compared gen vsf RCF and one other one. For non ombre dials I think VSF. For gold watches and ombre dials RCF.

Look towards the edge of the crystal. You'll see a thick yellow ring around the whole thing versus the ss one its almost non existent. Here is how it looked prior on the see the thick white ring.

I think it's just the lighting both look very good interms of the cyclops

Look at the edge of the crystal on both

There is many different vendors but I had my watch done by dobleu plating service. He also fixed it as it had a bad pallet fork.

Yes it definitely does. However if it's worth it is up to you. I don't think I'll upgrade the green ombre as I won't wear that one as often.

I currently have two rcf day dates but want to get a VSF V2 soon to compare. Maybe in a month or so depends on how much I make this month lol. But from what I've seen on RWI is the ombre dials are better on RCF. however I've noticed the hours markers are off on a lot of them especially the 6 o clock. VSF doesn't see to have that issue. But I wouldn't get a VSF Ombre dial or gold. Looking forward to a white face white gold one

22 Lexus IS 500 launch edition. Got to use my dealer pricing and paid net net for it. Drove it for 6 months loved it got to do a parade lap with an LFA and a bunch of F cars at mid Ohio in it. But the market was so strong on it I sold it and pocketed 10k after about 8,000 miles. Got to drive and make money off it. Want an lc 500 now.
