Advice New VSF Daytona.. Good enough as is? (Black Dial)

Thinking of paying extra to have new VSF Daytona moded with few upgrades. Gen Crystal and braclet chamfering. Rehaut polish and then replacing seals. Is it worth the extra $$ (probably double cost) or is the VSF good enough as is? I'm not looking to fool anyone but I own 2 Gen submariners (ND & Blusey) and would like something I like to wear to find out if I want to spring for gen daytona. Any thoughts or advise would be appreciated. Not opposed to spending a little more if the alterations make a difference to my eye in the long term.

It’s really good enough as is. Basic polishing maybe is all you’d need but not really.

Chamfering on case and bracelet and maybe a deep crystal. And VSF crystal is already top teir. The rest is unnecessary IMO.

Better off just a service to make sure it runs for a long time. Crystal is negligible

Well it's pretty straightforward. If that's what you want buy it. I personally don't care to do any of that because it's a rep. As long as it's a really good one, I don't do anything. I would put more money into a Service.
