Hey all I had placed an order for a 36 Green OP and like everything VSF there seem to be delays. I have been offered a Turquoise or a Pistachio as in stock and ready to ship instead. I like them both but have also heard not great things about colour reproduction on these as compared to the green which is pretty much 1:1. Any thoughts or previous experiences? Attaching some old QC images I’ve been sent to make up my mind. Thanks in advance.

thanks

What everyone got telling time today?

Hi all, I have been keeping an eye to the most reputable sellers and I’m ready to pull the trigger, I’m in the US and wondering how to get it delivered, do you guys usually take a home delivery under real name or use an alias and ship somewhere else? I just don’t want to catch any heat in the process. I appreciate every comment!

I ordered a rep from london and it’s been at jfk for a month! I haven’t heard anything from customs but th tracking has it just sitting there. The first watch I got was perfect. Now this! Any suggestions ?

I’ve been researching a lot and hard to find a consensus on which factory has the best 31mm DJ. GMF or GSF. The wiki does not provide enough details for ladies and some information seems outdated. Anyone purchase recently and care to share TD and which factory?

I got an Omega De Ville a while ago with a SS bracelet. It really needs the croc bracelet though! Does anyone know where I could source something like what's seen in these pictures? Thanks!

Hi guys, Not a troll post. I ordered an ARF Jubilee for my Seiko mod, it fits perfectly on the watch, however, the spring bar I have is too big to fit. Any sources where I can order springbars or it there an easy way to drill a larger hole if I should consider a DIY job?

I understand reps are not guaranteed to be waterproof, but I expected at least basic resistance for daily use (hand washing). The bigger issue is not the failure, it’s the complete lack of follow-up and communication after payment.

Does anyone know if there’s a TD or factory that makes vintage pieces for PP or AP? I got the rolex daytonas already and really want to get one from PP or AP. Really hope someone will do like a 3700 that would be so good

Hey everyone, I’m looking to buy a solid Submariner Date with a blue dial in the 400€–600€ range. I’m aiming for the best possible quality in that price bracket (good movement, decent finishing, reliable seller). I’ve done a bit of research but would really appreciate some up-to-date recommendations: • Trusted dealers? • Specific factories/models to look for? • Anything to avoid? Also open to slightly different models if they offer better value for money. Thanks in advance 🙏

Can somebody tell if this is original please. The strap is not original he said and missing the button rubber. My friend said it was a gift €13k back in the day, but I’m curious because it looks not original to me.

So many good datejusts now. This GoldF datejust with freesprung movement has a great bezel, dial, crystal, and bracelet. They did a great job with this.

Really want to try and get hold of one of these. The more functionality the better. Found one that had the week indicator as a second hand but be nice to maybe have it even as a 24hr just so it’s not constantly moving round. Any help greatly appreciated

My rep shipped early last week and i got this notification yesterday. Has this happened to anyone? All shipping info was double checked and correct with TD.

My guy just bought this submariner 80$ in Algeria. The guy told him the watch is from china, closes to gen and it goes under the water. What do you think about it ? Is it worth it for 80$ ?

I only have positive things to say with Jtime so far. I only have got one rep so far being the VSF Sub No Date and it was actually my first rep.

Hi guys, I'd like to buy a Hublot Classic Fusion in black or blue, but I don't know which one is 1.1 and which factory to choose. Could you help me? Is JJ+F the best? Some research says APS and WWF are the best, but I can't find them at any retailer.

I was always fan of Rolex and always wonder what should i choose different than Rolex. Jeez, that dial is astonishing. Santos de Cartier 40mm BVF MIYOTA 9015 V2

I’ve noticed that after the latest price increases, a good rep now costs $500–$800. Of course, you do you & each to their own, but at that price, you can legitimately find great gen watches, or even entry-level luxury pieces. Not to mention, I’d have to pay that much for a rep made somewhere deep in Asia, under who-knows-what conditions, after arranging it with a stranger via messages. Then I’d have to wait days to receive it in a plastic bag, hoping it doesn’t get confiscated. What do you

I currently own 2 vsf datejust and daytona and a BVF santos, Im going to uni in switzerland soon and I wanna take my watches with me, what would happen and how do I avoid being fined or getting it destoryed.

Does anyone know if VSF is getting out Panerai rep production? I have noticed lots of discount sales for Pams and lack of inventory.

Is it possible for different sellers to have different stock from the same factory? My go-to watch seller is telling me that a factory doesnt make the model of watch I’m looking for. A different seller is telling me that the watch is in stock at that factory. So now I’m confused lol. I’m inclined to trust my go-to seller who I’ve made multiple purchases from and they would have no reason to lie bc that’s lost money. Curious if anyone else has run into this as well.

Can someone help me determine if its good?

I saw a post yesterday regarding RGF releasing the 126719BLRO. It didn't seem to have any extra links and weighed at 212 grams. I also noticed that the dial was surprisingly good. I would love to see if anyone has more info on it. I already placed a pre-order.

Hello everyone, good morning! I'd like to clarify a doubt. From what I've read in the community, Clean Factory has been dissolved. However, I found this seller advertising this Clean Factory watch, the asking price is 728 USD. What could this watch be? Fake? Old stock? Gen? Thanks if anyone could help!

Absolutely blown away by this thing.. only thing I would maybe change down the line is the crystal but I’m not so sure I need to. With the rumors of the Pepsi being discontinued and the price tag becoming insane I figured why not. So glad I did!
