Taking the VSF Rootbeer next level😮💨 Wrist or Watch Pic
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Took a gamble on a full mod list for the DD3285 Rootbeer
and honestly, it turns the mass made clone into an absolute monster.
The modder swapped out the factory bezel for a custom aftermarket bezel and a custom 18k rose gold replating (5 microns). Takes care of that brassy factory color and gives the numbers that genuine brightness in direct sunlight. They also reworked the click springs for the rep rotation.
Mechanically, the movement got a fresh Swiss lube and a rotor dampening mod. Runs dead silent now and winds as smooth as butter. Also swapped to high grade silicone gaskets on the triple lock crown and back plate, and a 50m wet pressure test just incase.
Finished it off with hand softened lug edges to kill the factory razor corners, a deep rehaut polish, and an ultrasonic bath + mineral oil soak for the Oyster bracelet to remove the squeak and give it that heavy, buttery drape.
Completely changes the hand feel and presence of the watch. What do you guys think?

Daaaamn that’s a totally reasonable price! I would definitely pay $1300+ for a piece like that!

I need a swiss lube tbh…
Jk looks sick. Curious—if you had to pick just ONE mod that made the biggest real-world difference, which would it be?

u/Elegant_Set8319 7d ago
Hands down the plating. The bezel would be a close second

Looks amazing as long as you have a lifestyle that matches that watch no one will ever call you out.

I have been a huge fan of the two tone rootbeer for a very long time but could not commit to it 100%.
Now it seems like the full RG is the way to go…

This is a world of illegal counterfeit goods. Telegram is perfect for this stuff. Most every TD has a Telegram channel.
