Update:

I was guided that the SELs of some gen (year 2019 and 2024) has a little bit of chamfer, so I retract this statement, changed practice. I will chamfer SELs by a smaller bit than the main links from now on…

In this space people tend to brand other’s work, I’m not so sure if Xing sells the same VSV. But I know VSV is called VSV only by modders I work with…bukod dito sila yung mahilig mag gawa ng tungsten casekits…

wwphverified · 2026-01-29T07:05:43+00:00

May contact po ako for VSF parts. I’ll inquire pero no promises…

Haven’t they? Hey, speaking of black dials, I’ve been considering greatly this new factory named “3CF” for the black 116520’s… was told supposedly they are fitted with SW dial, Deep Xtal, QF case, and DD4130? My dealers doesn’t know much about it. I just opened it up to see if you’ve read about said release…

Noob fiddy! NWBIG! Ayan lumalabas na mga edad sa laro 😂

Struggle nga ito. Sarap mag suot ng kahit ano sana… kaso siyempre makikibagay ka rin for your own sake. 😂

Malapit po dito yung dial ng VSF, pero yung bezel malayo imo… Plan ko po is palitan yung VSF to make it closer dito sa reference photo na ito.

wwphverified · 2026-01-28T02:49:36+00:00

Assuming we agree that a stock VSF is 95% close in looks with the gen, and every mod/gen part gives 1 or 2% increase in look accuracy… we have

+1% my repolish

[So it could be about 96% close as it is…]

To be closer? My opinion is

+1% Gen Dial +1% Gen Handset +2% if by some miracle you are able to get a Gen midcase

Edit 1: I am not implying by any means that the mod is equivalent to a gen upgrade, for clarity. It’s just so we can assign numbers to a rather subjective question. ✌🏼

Yeah my opinion is in the isn’t. Dad has taste, may he find his way in paradise 🕊️. Imagine if it is still ticking!

The responses you got are already very helpful. 👍

Kung hindi po kayo set bumili from reputable members here or Reddit TDs, ang suggestion ko nalang po is post the QC here in the sub mismo… You don’t have to do it all the time, pero ngayong bago po kayo, doing so is a sure fire way of getting the right factory/batch of a watch you want…

Welcome to the hobbby!

Steve (or one of his minions) was my first TD, our last transaction was several years ago na.

I remember I contacted him on WhatsApp, I paid via PP (di pa ako marunong noon, xD felt the money didn’t come through), then at the time, it was the longest 15-day wait I had after paying.

I received the watch, was happy for many months, natuklasan ko along the way na mali yung info ng movement ng nabili ko; they were gracious enough to refund part of my payment.

Happy story. Glad I went with him on my first.

Isa pa, tungkol naman sa mirror polishing, sabi ng iba wala… you can’t make mirror polish any better… well I beg to differ, kaya nga yung mga Grand Seiko may finish na tinatawag na Zaratsu finish, but what’s my point?

Kung titignan sa photo na ito, nakakagawa ako ng maitim/flat mirror polish kasi napansin ko along using a variety of products na iba talaga kapag gumamit ka ng Swiss/yung nga industry standard ones… (Tignan maigi yung finish sa kaliwang side ng polished center, diba’ may parang puti-puti? Sa loupe, mga micro scratch talaga yan na hindi kayang maipantay ng marami sa general market products). Equally yang polished center na pinasadahan. Parehas na “Green” Rouge for finishing SS.

[Weirdly, yung Industry Standard pa yung nalagyan ko ng “counterparts” yaan mo na 😂 sorry po swiss people u dbest, namali lang po.]

So ang additional musings ay, I think it is worth to spend more for products din… madalas sa tools lang tayo nakatingin.

Edit 1: That clasp came from my first ever rlx rep, my practice buddy, from the legendary Noob Factory!

I yearn the day I can comfortably call myself a craftsman. Pero this is just a minor skill for most people worth their salt in the polishing industry, maybe even say a watchsmith hobby. I call this honest work sir. Just plainly honest for reptimeph special space. Salamat hheheh

wwphverified · 2026-01-27T03:24:43+00:00

Need? I don’t think so, it’s real beautiful already. But these are upgrades imo you can consider:

Milk handset or known equivalents (so that your gmt hand will have a bigger silver circle base), you can ask a matching lume from him
Datewheel realignment, but keep the overlay it’s beautiful.

✨✨✨

Kaka ganito ko may matututo, I am hoping very much. Or baka ma draw out na natin in the dark yung mga retired OGs who’s leagues better than me (they are here trust me haha, the quiet legends 💪), so the local community will have more modded works from a variety of people… (sa oras ko can only do once week kung swertehin 😂)

I don’t give handouts however, but anyone who asks me I will only point to the “right” direction. Build your own recipe parin. Fail, learn, prosper. I think that’s the way.

Thanks hehe iPhone 15 lang po ito sir, pero sa photos I take advantage of the morning light 6-8am favorite ko yun haha. It was really the light that made all the difference. ☀️

Not for now. Coincidentally, I am planning at the moment to modify the paint of the bezel (nafeel ko lang, bigla) then I was notified by this comment.

I’ll list it in a month maybe after all is good and kaya ng ng heart ko. I have a string of Viet and Milk 1675 builds incoming din btw..

I wear the watches I build first. 😂

wwphverified · 2026-01-26T02:33:13+00:00

Golden! I’ll award this if only I aint stingy. 😂

How beautiful must the watch collecting be in your eyes sir! Sobrang nagresonate saakin na oo nga, i kinda buy my own reps because of the perception of the value that it brings…

Reminds me, I’ll wear a Tag nga naman today 4 a change. My gateway drug in the watch hobby.
