6. Index alignment: Looks good to me overall

7. Dial Printing: Main thing I’m worried about since I heard some VSF batches had thicker subdials than gen. This one looks decent to me but wanted more opinions

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

9. Hand Alignment: Looks fine

10. Bezel: Looks aligned to me

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Seem tight

12. Timegrapher numbers: +3 s/d, 288 amplitude, 0.1ms beat error

13. Anything else you notice: This is my first rep so I’m trying not to get scammed lol. Mainly wondering if this looks like one of the updated VSF Panda batches people were talking about recently and if $828 total is a normal price nowadays for these.

Got approved for Venture X on Thursday (3 days ago) with a $10k limit after dealing with a bucketed Savor. My Savor was stuck at $500 for 10 months and the first CLI I got was only $100… and I accepted it. Not sure if that was a mistake.

Now VX is already offering me a $1k increase. I put $5k on it to hit the SUB and just requested a CLI — the charge should post tomorrow since it’s the weekend. Should I let the $5k report on the statement or pay it off right away and try again later? I’ve seen mixed advice, some say high utilization helps trigger bigger CLIs, others say always PIF. Also seen people decline small increases and later get better auto increases.

Did I mess up accepting that small increase on Savor? Trying not to repeat that here, what would you do?

Got approved for Venture X on Thursday after dealing with a bucketed Savor (made the mistake of accepting a $100 CLI on that). Tried my luck with VX and they’re offering a $1k increase. I put $5k on it to hit the SUB and requested a CLI. The $5k should post tomorrow since it’s the weekend—should I let it report on the statement or pay it off right away and try again? I’ve seen people decline offers and get auto increases later, just don’t want to repeat my Savor mistake.

Had my SavorOne for ~10 months and it definitely feels bucketed, finally got my first CLI and it was only +$100. Right after that I checked offers, got pre-approved for Venture X, and was approved for $10k. Quick question: should I request a CLI in a few days, or put about $5k spend on it for an upcoming trip, let it report, pay in full, and then ask? I know I’ve seen people have success asking for a cli right after getting approved, just wanted to get some advice. Thanks in advance!
