Amazingly awesome!! What crystal does yours have? The stock crystal or did you install a gen or Prof? Do you have gen hands?

So literally the only mods you have done are swap the movement and dial?? How difficult was it to find the movement and dial?

Yeah, the hands were perfect IMHO (lume is slower to charge, but same color), the only thing I'm considering at this point is dropping a gen movement +  gen crown and casetube, and of course a water resistance test/tuning. I've hear you can get this case (with gen seals) to 300M.

Movement and dial I found on eBay. Hands and crystal are stock. Also replaced with gen seals to waterproof to 100m. That's really it. I shower, surf, etc. With it on. I'm in the process of building a Franken GMT BLNR  too (same general process though a little costlier). GMT will be about 5K total.

Not sure why there would be a suggention to buy the VRF subc, and not the 904L ARF w/yuki or "sh3135v2" from Puretime. Mine is pretty close to perfect. I went ahead and dropped a gen 3135 (w/blue parachrome HS, and free float balance wheel) and Dial.  Local AD did full inspection and never even suggested or hinted of suspicion that there wasor may be a problem? Total investment $2650. Throw in a additional $140 for box and custom papers and you're set. Just maintain your scruples and dont succumb to the urge to see what you can get on eBay - at some point you would get caught, especially if it became a habit after making 5K a pop profit 😉
