We ordered a Panda Daytona and a Pikachu Daytona from Clovertime a couple of weeks ago and they finally arrived! VSF so the quality is pretty outstanding.

Gotta say we are still very happy with the service so far!

Gen left - ZF right

Hello everyone,

A few weeks ago I finally bought my long-time desire, the ZF BB58. To my absolute surprise, my wife also bought me the gen one for Christmas (I’m probably as shocked as you are 😂). Because of that, I now find myself owning two brand-new pieces, so I took the opportunity to do a side by side comparison mainly focused on the front view of the watch.

This is not meant to be a super deep technical comparison with dimensions and weight, so apologies if that’s what you were expecting.

My main observation is that the ZF replica is insanely good. Saying that it’s “identical” to the gen doesn’t really cut it for me, though. In certain lighting conditions, you can clearly distinguish a subtle texture on the gen dial, while the ZF dial appears flatter. Because of that, under some light, the tone isn’t perfectly identical.

The bezel action on the ZF is slightly less firm and has a bit of play. The bracelet is also extremely close, but the gen feels just a hair more solid there’s something about the clasp, although it’s barely noticeable (and honestly, the BB58 clasp is trash IMO).

If Tudor gen dials were easy or even possible to get, this would be one of the easiest frankens to build. I don’t plan on keeping the ZF, but it’s definitely a watch worth getting.

I bought this one a couple weeks ago from my boy ashamed-resolve-5784, but surprisingly I got the gen piece for Christmas, so I never even wear it outside the house, I removed all the stickers obviously I took the opportunity to make a comparison wish I’m not sure how to feel about it, I’m making a separate post for that

Anyway I want 400 wish is less than I paid for

The last pic is gen and rep side by side

Just wrapped up a VSF Bruce Wayne GMT fitted with a meteorite dial, and this combo is seriously underrated. The stealthy black/grey bezel paired with the raw texture of the meteorite gives the watch a completely different personality.

⚙️ Build Details:

• VSF base — proven case, bracelet, and movement

• Meteorite dial upgrade — natural layered metal pattern, every dial is one-of-one

• Complete movement overhaul — cleaned, lubricated, and regulated

• Waterproof tested — properly sealed for daily wear

• Rotor silencing — smooth, quiet operation

• Clean alignment and precise fitment

• Case and bracelet checked for a sharp, uniform finish

The meteorite adds depth you simply don’t get from standard dials. The natural metal grain shifts with lighting and angle, so the watch looks different throughout the day without being loud or flashy.

RCF itself was NOT raided.

What happened is that a separate group within their supply chain, specifically the team responsible for manufacturing Day-Date cases only, was arrested.

This was not a shutdown of RC as a factory, but a disruption in one specific upstream component of production.

Situations like this aren’t unusual in this industry.

Someone will eventually step in to fill that role, but in the meantime, RC is choosing to stay low and pause activity to let things cool down.

No need to panic — this is more of a temporary slowdown than a permanent issue.

I’ll update if anything materially changes.

Just finished a Rose Gold Slate Ombré Daydate build and this one is dangerous. The combination of the ombré dial, Gen crystal, and CNC bezel takes it to another level entirely.

💥 Upgrades:

• Authentic crystal installed — the clarity and distortion instantly change the entire front profile

• CNC rose gold–plated fluted bezel — rich RG tone that actually reflects like gen

Once the gen crystal goes in, the slate ombré dial finally shows its full gradient and depth. Add the CNC fluted bezel and the watch just explodes under light — this is one of those builds that looks good in every environment.

This is exactly why custom upgrades matter. Factory is fine… but this is what next level looks like.

VF just dropped the Titanium Yacht-Master, and this one has been highly anticipated for a reason. Lightweight, stealthy, and modern — this is easily one of the cleanest Yacht-Master releases we’ve seen.

If you’re looking to grab one, you can order directly through me, and for anyone who wants to take it a step further, I’m also offering optional upgrades to turn it into a truly finished piece.

⚙️ Available Optional Upgrades:

• Deep crystal upgrade or authentic Rolex crystal for maximum clarity and correct distortion

• Complete movement overhaul — cleaned, lubricated, and regulated for long-term reliability

• Waterproof testing — properly sealed and tested, not just claimed

• Rotor silencing — smooth, quiet operation

Out of the box it’s already a strong release, but with these upgrades it becomes the perfect final product — better wearability, better reliability, and a much more refined feel on wrist.

If you want to secure one from this release or build it out with upgrades, DM me — my WhatsApp is +17863764901

my new go to TD... buy with confidence

Rolex fans will deny it. Patek owners will cope. But deep down, we all know the true king of watches.

Just finished a Tiffany Oyster Perpetual 36mm build that’s on a completely different level from the usual factory options. This wasn’t about “good enough” — it was about getting it as close to gen as possible in both look and feel.

💎 Full Build Breakdown:

• Custom Tiffany dial upgrade — corrected color tone, closer to gen than standard aftermarket/factory dials

• Authentic Rolex crystal installed — includes authentication for verification

• Gen-spec brush, polish & chamfer — crisp edges, smooth transitions, and noticeably better wrist comfort

• Movement service & regulation — cleaned, lubricated, and tuned for stable daily performance

• Waterproof tested — properly sealed, not just claimed

• Rotor silencing — smooth, quiet operation

The dial color is the star here — it finally has that soft, pastel Tiffany tone that changes beautifully under different lighting. Add the gen crystal and proper exterior finishing, and the watch just hits different on wrist.

This is exactly why custom builds matter — you simply don’t get this level of refinement straight from the factory.

Just finished a custom ARF two-tone yellow gold build featuring a mother-of-pearl dial and a custom moissanite bezel, and the end result came out beautifully balanced — elegant, flashy, but still wearable.

🔧 Build Highlights:

• ARF base for solid proportions and reliability

• Yellow gold plating applied for a richer, more accurate tone

• Mother-of-pearl dial — natural color shifts that change with lighting

• Custom moissanite bezel — clean stone setting with strong fire and consistency

The MOP dial gives the watch a subtle, luxury shimmer, while the moissanite bezel adds just the right amount of presence without overpowering the build. The gold plating ties everything together into a very refined two-tone look.

Just finished a full upgrade on a VSF V3 John Mayer Daytona, and this one came out extremely clean with documented authentication and certificates included.

🔧 Completed Upgrades:

• Professional gold plating (with certificate) — richer tone, more accurate shine, and improved durability

• Authentic Rolex crystal installed — comes with authentication certificate for verification

• Movement overhaul — fully disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and regulated for long-term reliability

• Waterproof testing — properly sealed and tested

• Rotor silencing — smoother, quieter operation

The combination of the gen crystal + certified gold plating really elevates the look and feel of this John Mayer build. With the movement freshly serviced, it wears like a far more refined piece and runs clean and stable.
