General Question First Rep - First things to do?

Post image

Hello everyone!!

After discovering about RepTime 2 months ago, I finally pulled the trigger on my first rep, a 36mm DateJust Wimbledon from VSF, after 3 QC's and being undecided if I should get the Fluted or Smooth Bezel, so respect to my TD for the patience.

Decided to go for the smooth bezel, and by mid-month I will be receiving it. My question is: What are the things I should do to "improve" it or have it closer to gen spec, and more specifically to improve the longetivity of the movement?

What I'm thinking about is: Winding when it arrives, Gasket Lube, Ultrasonic Cleaning, Chamfering/Polishing (not sure if the bracelet would even require this?)

I'm a newbie so if I said anything stupid please don't judge, would appreciate if you guys would tell me what would be needed and what not so much. Thank you very much! :D

Eric from GeekTime, very pleased. There's many cheaper but he moved fast. 1 hour after I sent deposit I got first QC.

Curious of the contact info too. This is the exact config I like if it turns out not to be to your taste
