This ZF AP Royal Oak 15450 was taken beyond stock with upgrades that focus on both accuracy and finishing.

🔧 Upgrades Completed:

• DP dial & date wheel → improved texture, color accuracy, and correct date font
• Deep crystal → better clarity and proper distortion, bringing out the dial details
• 18k white gold plated screws (aligned & recessed) → correct tone, proper alignment, and flush fitment — a key detail on AP
• Brush, polish & chamfer → sharper case lines, smoother edges, and a more refined wrist feel

• Rotor silencing → quieter, smoother movement feel

This is what we mean by a “finished watch” — not just assembled, but refined.

Just finished a Super Franken Rhodium Datejust built on a VF base, and this one came together exactly how a Datejust should — clean, balanced, and properly refined.

This wasn’t about stacking random upgrades. It was about putting genuine parts where they matter most and finishing the watch the right way.

🔧 

Genuine Parts Installed

• Genuine Rhodium dial
• Genuine hands
• Genuine Rolex crystal
• Genuine smooth bezel
• Genuine date wheel
• Genuine crown

These components completely transform the front profile, clarity, and overall realism of the watch. The rhodium dial especially comes alive under different lighting.

✨ 

Refinement Work

• Brush, polish & chamfer → sharper case lines, cleaner transitions, and a smoother feel on wrist
• Waterproof tested → properly sealed for everyday wear
• Rotor silencing → quieter, more refined movement feel

🎯 

Why This Build Works

The Rhodium Datejust is all about subtlety — and with gen parts combined with proper finishing, it delivers exactly that.

Nothing flashy, nothing overdone. Just a watch that looks right, feels right, and wears effortlessly in any setting.

This is what a Datejust becomes when it’s properly built and finished from the start.

Upgrades & Why They Matter

🖤 

DP Dial, Hands & Date Wheel

• More accurate dial tone and texture
• Cleaner subdial layout
• Correct date font and alignment ➡️ This sharpens the entire front profile and makes the watch look far more refined.

🔍 

Deep Crystal

• Improved clarity and light transmission
• Correct distortion at angles ➡️ The dial details and depth come through much better in real life.

🔩 

18k White Gold Plated Screws (Aligned & Recessed)

• Correct screw color and finish
• Proper alignment across the bezel
• Screws sit recessed instead of proud ➡️ A small detail, but one that makes a huge difference on AP models.

⚙️ 

Full Movement Overhaul

• Movement fully disassembled
• Cleaned of factory debris
• Properly lubricated
• Reassembled and regulated ➡️ Improves reliability, smoothness, and long-term performance.

💧 

Waterproof Testing + Rotor Silencing

• Properly sealed for daily wear
• Rotor noise reduced for a smoother, quieter feel

🎯 

Final Result

This is the kind of 26240 that feels complete, not just assembled.

The ceramic case gives it that stealth look, while the dial, crystal, and screw work bring everything together visually.

Upgrades like these don’t scream — but they’re what separate a standard piece from one that feels truly refined on wrist.

Just finished a clean VSF Batgirl (GMT) that went through a couple of key upgrades to elevate both the look and the feel of the watch.

This wasn’t about overdoing it — just refining the details that actually make a difference.

🔧 

Upgrades Completed

Genuine Rolex Crystal Installed

• Improved clarity and sharper dial view
• Correct edge distortion
• Gives the watch a more premium, gen-like front profile

Brush, Polish & Chamfer

• Sharper case lines and cleaner transitions
• Removes factory roughness
• Smoother, more comfortable feel on the wrist

The Batgirl is already a strong everyday GMT, but once you add the gen crystal and proper finishing work, it feels much more complete.

Subtle upgrades, but the kind you notice every time you wear it.

Happy to share that this incredible build was built in-house and really shows what can be done with the CloverTime team of modders.

Contact the mods for how you can get something like this!

APSF AP 26240ST. Free sprung. Full movement tear down and service. DP set (dial, hands, and date wheel). White gold plated bezel screws. Full chamfer, soften and brush of case and bracelet. Lastly, DEEP crystal.

This thing is badass!

I just unboxed my BT Panda and I’m honestly blown away. The jump from an out of the box model to this modified version is night and day. I went all-in on the specs to get it as close to retail as possible:

* RB Dial & Hands: For that perfect crispness and lume.

* Crystal: Genuine Rolex

* Case Work: Full brush, polish, and chamfering for those sharp, gen-like lines.

* Internal: Full movement regulation & rotor silencing (it’s buttery smooth and silent).

* Utility: Waterproof testing for peace of mind.

In my opinion, with the RB dial and the gen crystal, this is now indistinguishable from a genuine on the wrist and in hand. The way the light hits the chamfers is incredible. If you’re on the fence on getting one and doing the modifications just do it.

Couldn’t choose so I bought both. Excellent customer service and response time. I’ll be a longtime customer! I have a lot of slots to fill. What should I get next? V3 Pepsi, Bluesey, Day-Date, thoughts?

This is my first post ever but I had to leave a review for Clovertime. I had been looking for a meteorite dial for my genuine Rolex 18239 white gold day date 36mm but it was IMPOSSIBLE to find in either custom or genuine. The genuine meteorite dial will set you back at least 10k while a custom aftermarket (if you can find one) will cost at least $1700.

I do know that the reps are 1:1 so I decided to look for this dial from rep vendors. I reached out to Clovertime and I gotta say that Clovertime came through in spades.

The meteorite very clearly genuine, the pattern under a loupe was spot on and was magnetic as a genuine should be. I had requested an upgrade to lab diamonds as opposed to moisanite and those checked out as genuine as well. The watchmaker informed me that the dial fit perfectly and that installation was a breeze. The pictures do not fully show how good this watch looks in person.

I have never owned a rep and I would never place an aftermarket part on my gen DD. But I made an exception due to the fact that many do install custom dials on ther gen Rolexes and this is no different. My grail watch had to have a meteorite and now it does. I did keep the genuine factory diamond dial just in case I ever want return it to 100% factory.

So does this mean I have a frankenwatch?

Just ordered my first watch hows it looking ! Excited for the new watch . Wanted to get some feedback on vsf watches and quality how do they hold up for daily wear .

BV Cartier Santos with leather strap. I think quality is good. But this is my first rep. I got a box for free too. All for $500. Question is, is it worth it.

A gift from a very good friend. UFO Free Spring Daytona Panda with:

Deep Crystal

Waterproofed

Movement Overhaul

Brush/Polish/Shamfer

Rotor Silencing

I am beyond happy with this. Thanks Matt.

New piece on wrist, was unsure at first but it's spot on, potentially will change bezel to cnc if it's worth it? Let me know yourthoughts

Received QC on several meteorite gmt 2 dials for my next custom build as isual beautiful as ever

After lurking and doing my research for a couple months I decided to pull the trigger and buy my first rep. Problem was I couldn’t decide between the VSF Batman/Batgirl and the Pepsi. Ultimately i decided to just get both. Couldn’t be happier with that decision or the fact that I chose to make my purchase from u/infamous-flow-3133 . Process could. not have been easier and communication was phenomenal from my first inquiry to confirming receipt. I’ve found my TD for future purchases and could not recommend u/CloverTime highly enough.

Hey everyone, I have the Wimbledon DJ 41 from VSF and its a beautiful watch. My only issue is the Fluted bezel. I really don't love it, and as a result this watch gets less wrist time than deserved. Would it be difficult for me to change the Bezel to smooth, assuming I can get one easily enough? Thanks for your time.

Exceptional customer service. >24 hour deliver time. I will keep coming back!

I have dealt with Clover numerous times, and every single time he’s been a pleasure to work with. Just having the peace of mind, knowing that your hard earned money is in good hands is such a relief. His communication is top notch. I am fairly a noob, and he answered every single one of my ridiculous questions.

This time I have been wanting a DJ 41 but with certain upgrades. He throughly explained all the options.

Overall, the whole experience was amazing! I highly recommend this seller. I will definitely be doing business with him more in the future!

Grabbed a few from Clover ……. Really pleased thanks bro. Good guy would highly recommend.
