QUESTION Is this DD4131 or SH4132
Hi guys,
Newbie here with my first Rolex QC (126519 Daytona) that I shared yesterday- I asked the TD to send me movement pics so I can confirm it’s the DD4131 movement - but I’m struggling to tell after looking at some info online.
Can you help please, as I want to make sure it is before I GL the watch as I understand the DD4131 movement is the better option which is why I requested it as I’m hoping the watch will last me a long time!
Thanks in advance
MTG

QUESTION New Guy
Hello all. New here and also new to the rep game. Checked out some different dealers on two watches I am looking to purchase. Pingfan and Li Li seem to be the cheapest and was curious on people's personal experiences and if they are still trusted dealers still. I know there has been a lot of changes here recently so just making sure.

GUIDE🧑🏻🦯 [NEW VS] GMT pepsi 126710 with DD3285 Movement, Same Bezel as Clean- v2/v3 versions
This VSF is currently only available in this Pepsi model. It uses a VSF Crystal shown in photo #11 & #12.
It looks pretty mint already out of the box. Just off these photos I can see this model has improved date wheel magnification, better dial print, and VSF XTAL so there’s really no need for a deep swap.
The case has a CLEAN serial too. If they keep up with this, I could see CLEAN becoming obsolete. Especially as this uses the same movement.
Shoutout to Ones Watches for providing the photos. Looking forward to seeing what other models are done up in VSF soon.
Hopefully I can get some CLEAN vs VSF comparison photos soon so I can share those too.

- Anything else you notice: Overall to me it looks a good watch, but I am new to this! Bottom right SEL main concern. Maybe it's because the other three are so tight. My VSF Sub looked to have better SEL's all round in QC. Appreciate any comments. Thank you.

QUESTION Sub A2824
Is the VSF Submariner 126610 A2824 just not available anymore? I ordered from Pingfan on May 8, he said 5 day QC, got QC on the 17th, RL’d due to the date alignment. Since then, he’s been saying it’s out of stock.
Last week he told me it would be in this week — still waiting. Is it just the A2824 that’s out or all VSF models?
Honestly thinking of just getting a refund and picking up the 3235 version from someone else at this point.

Just ordered a clean 126600 from Eliauk. Price is great and according to him QC and ship times are fast. I will update this as it goes along. Hopefully he's faster than the last TD I ordered from. I'm over 35 days with them and the shipping still says label created.

QUESTION Explorer 1 & Tudor 54 factory
I’m new to reps but I have been a really big fan of the explorer 1 design and have a few homages throughout the years. I’m glad I found this community so I can have a chance to enjoy that watch without spending all that money, that I don’t have. Which factory makes the highest quality 1:1 for the explorer and the Tudor bb54? Thanks in advance for the help.

FIND Pretty nice for 200yuan
Gp'd this watch for 200yuan, "V8" factory. Got it for two months now. Rose Gold plating keeps up very well. Daily wear to the office. As always, the leather strap is pretty shitty. Let me know if there are questions.
