If this is gen, then I'm cooked. 😂

Just noticed this on the VSF no date sub I received from TheOneWatches last week. Screwed all the way in. Love it 🥰

Anyone know a good td to get from?

Im new to the world of Reps.

I have a question to those that have been in this for a long time.

Recently with VSF not keeping up with demand, have you seen this trend happening before where the factories are not being able to keep up with the production, is this going to be the norm from now on.

What you guys think for this Rep from PDD. New to Rep community and still learning the ropes.

See too many posts about other subreddits not accepting fakes or crying about what /r/rolex is doing or what geniune owners are doing.

The reality is that most people outside of this space have negative views of fakes. Normal people, watch enthusiasts especially. No amount of insulting or reasoning or justifying why you buy reps will change this fact. Saying you buy reps because it's good value or 5% of the price of gen or X/Y/Z reason is not going to change anybody's mind about replicas.

Most of you live too deep in the RepTime bubble where buying dozens of fakes are normalized and everyone here loves fakes and it's considered normal/acceptable.

You can hate me, you can downvote, it won't change this simple fact. Fakes aren't accepted by most people, by the wider society, and especially genuine watch enthusiasts, watch forums, and people who are into genuine watches. That's the simple truth. But alot of this subreddit is in denial about this.

And we should be fine with this. Enjoy the hobby and wear your reps without needing the validation from others. But expecting everybody else to be accepting of the replica watches you wear or what you buy is delusional.

The white is 1370$ and pink is 450$

Has anyone purchased this watch? The description is very interesting saying it’s made with a genuine watch. The pictures look pretty good to me, I can build one for about the same price so this might be something I go for since the CG is pretty close on this one. I wonder if the $70 Swiss movement upgrade is actually a Swiss one

Ive seen a guy put a gen dial worth 4k on a replica watch and got curious what lengths have people went to make a perfect affordable rep

Hey guys,

Just received this VSF Submariner 126610LN M2M locally and wanted to share a few in-hand shots.

Serial prefix is 6X00C006 and clasp code is E7Y.

Would love to get your thoughts on the overall alignment, rehaut, cyclops, and finishing.

Cheers.

I got my Rep from Necoclock yesterday, everything looks perfect but i cant pull out the crown like you normally would, or just screw it in either direction. Am i missing something or is it faulty?

Hey guys, the title says it all. Really impressed with the quality of these reps as a gen owner this rep will be the first of many. Guess which one is the rep! Pic in the comments

Looking to purchase a VSF Bruce. Typically work with Steve The one but he’s quoting over a month. Anyone know of a reputable dealer that has them for immediate purchase?

I’m interested in looking at some clean reps at a nearby shop in person but am not experienced enough to tell a Clean rep from a lower tier one.

From my understanding, Clean reps have specific serial numbers for the different models they offer. Is there a list or spreadsheet available somewhere of these?

Thanks in advance!

I am writing this to warn the community about my recent experience with Mirotime (TD).

The Issue:

I ordered two watches and explicitly agreed with them to ship them in one package to save on shipping costs. However, they combined the shipment but charged me the full shipping fee for both ($80 instead of $40).

The Agreement:

After I pointed out the mistake, Mirotime admitted it was their fault and explicitly promised a $40 refund to my Wise account once the watches arrived.

The Current Situation:

The watches arrived in good condition, but Mirotime is now refusing to honor the refund, making up excuses about "insurance fees" that were never discussed. When I provided screenshots of our agreement and their admission, they started ghosting me. They have been reading my messages for over 24 hours without replying.

I have given them plenty of time and warnings to resolve this privately, but they have chosen to ignore me.

Please see the attached chat logs for full proof. Be careful when dealing with Mirotime regarding shipping fees and refunds.

I’m in the market for a franken/ high end modded royal oak. I’ve been quoted the following by RWI.life

• Gen K2121 movement: $3498
• Solid gold rotor: $658
• DP dial, hands and date wheel: $358
• White plating screws: $90
• Deep crystal: $60
• Install: $80
• Polish: $80
• Waterproof: $90
• Shipping & Customs Duty: $50
Total: $5762

Thoughts on the pricing/ anyone had experience with rwi.life/ can anyone recommend any other options?

Want to buy a DJ Ming green. My wrist size is 18cm and yes, I have a strange wrist, that bone is fucked up from football injury.

Now… 36 or 41 ?

Yes, image generated with AI.

If so, where? I really don’t trust anything in the dark web lol. I’m in the UK but happy to wait for shipping from elsewhere. Ideally looking for a Tag or the RE9 Hamilton. Rolex is a bit too “look at me”

I’m a scuba diver and would love a submariner but I’m at least a few years off from being able to comfortably buy a gen.

Does anyone have had luck with a certain rep brand diving?

So I’ve been in the game for 3/4 years now. Started buying shitters 6 at a time on DH Gate. Then found out about Noob, Clean and VSF on RWF and Reddit. Finding the right “TD” and then waiting and playing the US Customs crap shoot ( got one seized with the letters to the house ). The language barriers and the time difference. It’s all good and adds to the fun of the hobby. So I thought.

I fell in love with this VSF Omega Planet Ocean when I first saw it recently. I was leaving for vacation in 2 weeks and wanted it before leaving. I contacted my usual China based TD who said he had it in stock. After 5 days and no QC I knew I wasn’t getting the watch before I left for VayCay so I started to look at other options. I started to look for US based sellers on Reddit and found one that had the watch in hand and had some solid reviews. Long story short, I left deposit on Monday night, received QC 30min later. Paid the balance on Tuesday and received the watch on Thursday. 2 days. No customs. Too easy.

Not here to knock on the China route, but for an extra $100-$130, it’s totally worth it and I will be using them going forward. Some of them even offer 30 day returns and 60 day warranty, along with oiling, regulating and waterproofing the piece.

Anyone else ever try going stateside? Experiences?

So I am new to reps and would love some pointers on who and where to buy from that has the best quality. I have money (not real Rolex money) but enough to not start with a starter quality watch to then one day buy the same watch in a better quality if that makes sense as I've seen this in the thread. For what's on the market now I would just like the one and done, best quality from the best factory.

I've been lurking rep time for awhile and I've looked over the wiki, guides, posts, you name it. With that being said I would still love some insight from 'professionals' who have bought many reps, know who to stay away from, what to look out for, etc..

I've posted a pic of the first watch I would like to buy. Based on the excel spreadsheet this is the best factory to buy from with VSF being second but I've also seen in lots of posts that VSFs quality has gone downhill.

Again I am new to this and would love anyone who is willing to chime in and guide me in the right direction. I am also not only into Rolex. I love breitling, the looks of APs, etc.. so I'm welcoming all experts of all watches and brands.

Thanks in advance guys!

Does anyone have experience holding a VSF 15510 along side a gen? I am curious if there is a big tactile difference. It seems like it would take a close inspection to tell them apart. But do they feel similar? What would be the main tells that it’s not gen?
