Credit where it's due, RCF did an outstanding job with this bezel.It's one of the few aftermarket bezels that genuinely gets the tone right. The warm hue of the V2 pairs perfectly with the silver dial. I tried several CNC bezels, but none came close—they all missed something. I was honestly ready to pull the trigger on a gen bezel just to complete this superfranken. Beautiful white gold plating.
When i ordered this watch from an Instagram seller, everyone said i got scammed and would never get what i think i bought after i shared QC pictures. I took my chance and here it is. Probablv the closest 5712 l've seen,extremely well executed and they pay great attention to detail in a way I fully appreciate.

Love this new build, it came with DDF stock traps and tbh those are real accurate imo.
I've purchased from Popup since January 2025 and have completed about seven custom builds with him, all of them superfranken projects. Up until recently, things seemed to be progressing normally.
However, I'm now concerned about several outstanding orders that have been fully paid for but still haven't been delivered
- In November 2025, I placed a deposit on a CNC 5711R build priced at $2,100. I completed payment in March 2026, but the watch has st.ill not shipped.
- In May 2026, I paid $2,800 in full for a weighted daytona build with a gen set.
⁃ Around the same time, I also paid $2,100 in full for a Submariner build with gen set.
As of todav, I have not received anv of these watches. I've been told multiple times that shipping would happen soon, but still no shipping confirmation or tracking. Someone from RWI whose met him before actuallv mentioned that currently there are 20 people with similar situations that have messaged him looking for help. Is this an exit scam? I don't understand and i think l've been patient. 2 of the 3 builds were already in stock so I don't understand
