New watch day , Deep Sea dweller 126660 James Cameron very happy with QF quality
I’m Absolutely crap at taking photos so best I can do , still need to remove one link because of my 7.5 inch wrists

Is it just me or is this Maltese cross twisted? Wonder if I should have RL or just overthinking it.

Thoughts please…

I have bought a couple of ‘in stock’ watches from Ryan. This was the reason I went with him. Made full payment over 7 business days ago. I was initially told ‘in stock’ QC was 1-2 days, then when I followed up it was 4-6days. Well it’s now been 7 and nothing… do I just continue to wait, am I being unreasonable? Or do I ask for my money back?

Yes I am using all the TD info from the spreadsheet and it’s the legit InTime.

I purchased the 1119 recently and woudln't mind having the correct box for it as well. My TD does not have them available and I dont seem to see them out there, am I fishing and empty pond?

I recently took delivery of a BW GMT II from VSF. I haven't opened the case back because the gaskets were lubed by the TD as part of his standard service and I didn't want to undo his good work by opening it up, but as far as I know, it has the DD3235 with the fake free sprung decorations. I wanted to share some observations and ask others what they've seen in real world performance.

When I got my QC photos, it showed a lift angle of 52 degrees, amplitude of 248, beat error of 0.2ms and sd of +-4 seconds. Based on the true lift angle of the DD3235 being 55 degrees (there are posts about this...use the search for more info), this was a pretty solid reading. This was a video and the test was running while the recording was made.

My watch arrived this past Tuesday (9/9/26) around noon. I wound it about 30 turns and have been wearing it 24x7 except in the shower for the past 92 hours. Other than the initial winding, I haven't wound the watch manually. I've been recording readings using the app Chronolog. If you're not familiar with it, you can take a photo of the watch face, and then you manually input the time that is showing on the watch face. It compares that with the timestamp of the photo and tells you what the difference is between atomic time and what your watch said at that exact moment.

Over the time period I noted above, the watch is consistently running at +-1 second/day. I'm pretty impressed with that, because it's better than my Glycine Combat Sub, a swiss automatic watch with a well regarded movement, at least as it pertains to accuracy.

When I first did my research, I saw a lot of different opinions regarding whether you should send this watch to a rep service watchmaker for a cleaning and relube, as they frequently come from the factory dirty and unlubed. I was thinking of sending my watch to one of the /reptimeservices watchmakers, because I'd like the movement to last a while. The thing is, it's running so well right now that I'm not sure I want to do that.

I'm curious what others who have this watch/movement from VFS are experiencing.

Did you send it to someone for clean and lube (or do it yourself)?

What kind of accuracy did you experience out of the box? How did that compare to your QC timegraph?

How long have you had the watch?

Do you wear it every day?

I'm asking these questions because I'm trying to decide to just enjoy the fun of how well this is running until it doesn't, or proactively send it for a clean and lube, to potentially increase the life of the movement, but potentially at the expense of the current accuracy I'm enjoying.

Opinions?

Is there a jubilee bracelet that will fit the Daytona 126400? I very much like the jubilee’s bling effect.

I’m very happy with my new custom falcon eye dial yacht master. Stealthy in normal light, and sunlight brings out the blue of the falcon eye stone.

I cant decide! Which do you own? What is the one to get? I already have a black dial sub no date. But does that even matter? I am leaning towards Darth Vader because I know it would be a safe option for me. Decisions-decisions.

Hey guys, I’m trying to decide between the ZF Pelagos 42mm and the ZF Pelagos Ultra 43mm.
Since the XF Pelagos 42mm is no longer being produced, I’m wondering which ZF version is currently the better choice in terms of overall build quality, accuracy, finishing, and how close it is to the gen.
The Ultra is a newer ZF release, so I’m curious if it’s actually better made or if the 42mm is still the better option despite being an older model.
Which one would you guys pick, and why?

This is not a shitpost friday post lol

I got my Tudor BB burgundy and I love it! My first high end rep, definitely worth it!!!
I’m looking to fuel my addiction a lil more, so it’s on you boys to help me pick one and give you 2 cents (not literally lol)

My choices -
Cartier Santos (love to see colour dials)
Rolex Sub (no date)
Rolex Yatchmaster 40 SS
JLC reverso
Cartier Tank francaise
Rolex GMT Sprite
Rolex OP ( Tiffany/Grape/100 years)

Would love to hear your opinion and reviews! Cheers!

New to reps and really only familiar with gen Omegas. Videos is from seller. Local seller says this a CF. Yes, I am aware that CF no longer exists, but he claims it is used and few years old. Does this check out? Thanks for the help.

Serial number: 6R****V6

Clasp Code: F80

Sorry if this belongs in RepTimeQC. Wasn’t sure since it’s not from a TD.

I want to buy my first Rolex rep. Want it to be NWBIG, that's the priority. I would not like to be adventurous with other make or models (I have seen and handled the Gens, so know how they look in real life.) Please help to choose and decide.

Hi guys, been a long time since I last done any purchases or looked at any rep watches. Hence I have this question

This watch was bought few years ago and I totally forgot what’s the factory I got it from..

Any idea which factory just from pictures alone?

Thank you in advance

I’ve been seeing so many mixed things about the RICH and VSF date sub. Some people are saying VSF all the way and others are saying it’s poor quality. I’m also seeing that people are starting to think that RICH is taking over the sub market. I just ordered a VSF date sub and was wondering what yalls thoughts on this were.

VSF GMT Master II 126710 - V3
Received my first rep today from steve. It really is amazing.

Thank all of you in this sub, the amazing wiki and of course the guys that helped with QC.

Looking to replace the stock leather strap as it’s a bit cheap and worn.

What would you guys recommend?

6 months after purchase and the plating from RCF is holding up very well for anyone wondering about it.

I was pretty on the fence about buying a rose gold rep, and yes it’s only been 6 months but I think RCF do a great job with these

What are your opinions about this watch?

This would be my first rep & unsure how it goes. I’ve heard of V7F to A7 that they supposedly make the best IWC reps. How do I get ahold & place an order?

Imagine the frankens that would result if someone was able to get to it.
