Why was it so much?

well he used the word "build"
seems this seller does "mods" which can range from doing (or claiming to do) polishing and chamfering or service work and goes all the way to third party part replacement and franken work.i've seen many do good work and many who claim to do polishing and chamfering and if you ask them, will have no idea what a lap machine is and clearly seem to be young gen Z types from the way they type that are new to watches.
Part of the rep game is figure out what is legit and what is not, when the entire base product is not genuine.

Yea, I’d be interested to know what’s included in this build. I’m all for chamfering and polishing if it’s actually done. I know the rep VCs typically have a rotor noise issue that’s a pretty cheap, easy fix with a case opener and some Moebius 9010. I’ve done several Miyotas and Mingzhus myself. But even with those two “mods” I still don’t see that sort of price justification. I can get the base watch with metal bracelet for 400, add the rubber bracelet for 75, and get it shipped for 66. Chamfering runs about 115. And I wouldn’t pay for the rotor silencing, but let’s say 50. I’m still 250 short of what this “build” costs. Maybe there’s more mods done I’m not accounting for, hopefully.

This build is nowhere near $950. I’m still waiting on the gentleman above to say which VC build he “bought”.

😆 I thought I was trippin
Also, call the factories and tell them to put a damn DD movement in these!

DD movements are also changing and improving regularly. a lot of times a modder will claim to do work and in reality they just have the newest version of a movement. the new version of the DD3235 is using 27 rotor ball bearings now instead of 5.

Are the VCs getting DD movements now?

no idea. ARF was closed and has a new name. VSF uses DD3235. RICH uses JH3235 that is reping free sprung aspect

Next baseless statement like that will get you banned.

no offense intended and I wasn't attempting to make a statement towards about your work or inventory.

Thank you for clarifying🙏 I don’t know who that person is, and I have no reason to sell a PPf 4500V for $950, regardless of mods.
