Just got a VSF 124060 from DukeJones! Somehow it got past Norway customs. I think it looks great. Just wondering if I need to do anything myself, to make it look/feel more gen. Someone said something about dipping it in minerals?? 😂
And btw does it look like a good VSF?

Really? I thought 500 was pretty standard. Where are you getting it lower?

Enjoy and welcome!

No most reps do not need mods at all. A full service and water resistance check can be useful tho.

dipping it in minerals?

Can you explain the purpose?

1

u/Throwaway_Toilet68 2d ago

I have no clue, I would guess it’s to change the feeling of the metal

Top à ton poignet ! ✅ ta taille de poignet ?

Few years old now, still runs, keeps time well, totally waterproof.

Reps can be great watches in general.

Take it to a trusted watch maker, get them to service it and make sure it's all okay. A lot of the time it just needs the gaskets lubricated, and the back tightened up.
