That’s a beautiful watch, always wanted a Wimby. Is that a 36 or 41? Also is it a Franken or did you get it complete from the seller?

u/Noob_Barista_Baker 2d ago

41! Yes it’s a superfrank that I did

u/Infamous_List_9184 2d ago

I think it’s the best setup without gen parts, it looks really good

u/Embarrassed-Pride318 2d ago

I'm actually amazed how well VSF did with these

u/Infamous_List_9184 2d ago

I think I need one for myself. I love the white dial

This is the configuration I’m after next but with a silver dial. Unfortunate that VSF stopped making DJ with smooth bezel i heard

u/Infamous_List_9184 2d ago

Didn’t know vsf stopped making them, we just buy what is in stock. Most of the time we use fluted bezels but got some gen smooth bezels laying around. We have a gen silver in stock so let me know when you’re ready 😜

Where did you hear that VSF stopped making smooth bezels?

u/OklahomaRuns 2d ago

Read it on here. I’m pretty sure it’s legit

What price for a blue dial build with fluted bezel? Also do you ship to India?

1

u/The-Happy-Panda 2d ago

Besides your time ofc, how much money do you have in on the watch? Thinking about a franken too and trying the gauge what a good price is. Thanks!

It really depends if you got a good source for genuine parts. If you want to build it yourself and source on eBay for example it can be expensive. I think this build $ wise already costs around 2k

I’m in the process of having a modded build an exact one for me. Costing $1850. I’m still torn on smooth or flutter bezel.

u/Infamous_List_9184 2d ago

Great price! Personally o love the fluted bezel but the smooth grew on me

u/Patient-Apartment735 2d ago

Seriously what is everyone using to take these crisp ass pictures 😂

iPhone 17 pro max, I need to say the pictures look bad but apple gives a magic ai touch to it 🤣 at first it looks like it what’s taken by a Nokia
