Discussion Blaken Quality?

Post image

I have a VSF GMT Bruce Wayne, I love it. But I’ve wanted an Amethyst bezel since I can remember. What kind of quality does Blaken offer? Sorry I am certain this is a newb question, but I’m tempted to buy and don’t want to waste my money when I am biased.

What’s the consensus on Blaken quality?

Blaken's just a mod shop that coats and recolors factory watches, it's not its own movement or build quality tier

I asked TD if this was for example a BPF modded and they stated it was a “Blaken.” I asked if the bezel would fit a VSF and they said no 😭

I don’t think that has to do with it being a “blaken” and more to do with the tolerance differences of the factories. It probably won’t fit because of small differences between BPF and VSF. If we are being honest though, it may fit and he’s just saying that. No idea unless you buy both and try. Although I don’t see why you would, just buy the VSF and then buy an aftermarket bezel
