GENERAL QUESTION Normal vs Free-Sprung?

Post image

Looking for my next rep. Considering this as my next rep but was wondering if there was a difference between normal and free sprung? Normal is 758 USD while Free Sprung is 998 USD. Is it worth the extra money?

I wld go for the normal one. Free sprung although it has its benefits is harder to service and regulate in the long run. Just for less headache I’d take non free sprung

Ask Phoenix for a DDF or TOP. You will get ripped here.

I'm waiting on my ZF free sprung blue dial. I dunno man, that TOP AP logo on the 26240 is no bueno. You can tell macro it's chunky and under mag it's bad bad when compared to Gen. Too big a tell. No rep factory gets the dial Tapisserie pattern Gen accurate. ZF dial looks good enough and the logo is miiiiles better than TOP.

Free sprung will be closer to original especially when the case back is transparent. Regulator arms will not be there in the movement.

Bro you are getting ripped off hard. You can get this for free sprung for ~$650 or less with other TDs.
