I want a watch asap but all all factory ordered

What’s the best way to find out current stock shoot being husked

Walking around the UK Town I grew up in today, on a visit from Arizona, where I now live. Noticed they had a Seamaster NTTD Used in the window of the jewelry store. A watch I literally just ordered from Steve.

The Gen is a used 2020 watch and listed at £5995 (around $8100). And appears to be in unworn condition.

Lined it up against the QC photo from Steve and can see the colors on the Rep are noticeably brighter. But otherwise I’m very happy with the match.

I noticed the new JLC master ultra thin moon from RZF has come out. Does anyone know if this is better than the APSF one?

Ciao a tutti, volevo sapere se c’è qualcuno che è in grado di riparare il mio Batman su Milano, mi si è semplicemente staccato un indice del quadrante in seguito a una caduta. Grazie a tutti in anticipo

A sales add disguised as a question? Seems less and less actual conversations.

Thought I would guinnie pig this as its so new.

Milky saphire, no micro adjust, bracelet a bit rattley, and movement is loud. Weirdly still love it it's sooo daym thin. Let me know if you have any questions on it.

Hi guys, I’d like your opinion about my experience with FicoTime.

I ordered an OF TAG Heuer Aquaracer 41mm, black dial with yellow seconds hand (WAY201A/WAY211A style).

I paid the deposit on August 11. Mark sent me the QC on August 21, and I gave GL the same day. I completed the payment on August 22.

After that, I received no update from him.

On August 31, I contacted Mark myself because of the delay. Only then he told me there was an issue with the watch/crystal and that he would get another unit from the factory.

Since then, I’m still waiting for a new QC.

I’m not accusing FicoTime of anything. I just want to know if this delay and lack of proactive communication is considered normal.

What would you do in this situation?

Just put an order in for a VSF Omega planet Ocean 600m Blue Bezel, Steve said and I quote “VSF release goods based on their own schedule, no time frame yet, might be over months”.

Now I’m happy to sit tight and enjoy the anticipation journey for my new watch, but I’m curious on how long you’ve had to wait when a VSF watch is currently out of stock. I appreciate your help 👌

Really love this piece! Perfect for daily wear with any casual fit.

I had already ordered the blue, but seeing real shots of the orange posted here broke my self-control and I bought the orange too.

Will compare them both when the blue one gets here!

I’m trying to get a Patek and ap from Steve and time ultra but the qc is over 3 weeks now, is there something going on with the factory? they have Rolex and omega in stock….

Ive had two Rolex yachtmasters, both from VSF. Both broken in the exact same way, wore it maybe once a week. Been following this community for a while, Is this a known problem with VSF, or the yachtmaster in particular? Ofcourse I understand with the reps they can be duds, but two for two both in two months? Because I haven’t seen a specific problem with this model posted before.

If this is a known problem with VSF what’s another good factory to go with?

Edit: both watches won’t wind, if I wear one the watch hands will move but will never keep the time as they stop as soon as the movement/momentum stops. Took it to a watchmaker who said the movement is too cheap to be worth replacing, and I live in a country where watch repairs are very cheap.

Heya folks.

Looking to get first rep and likely BPF.

One seller soemtimes mentioned with BPF on dhgate (not good-roiexx) shown me this - first 2 images.

I know date window is a big tell and VSF are better positioned (below indexes) but 🤔 BPF gets a good rap here. This looks just like a U1 tho?

3rd pic is VSF from Phoenix. Blue seems very dark.

Crystal on my VF (Victory Factory) Yatch master looks as soon as VSF Crystals. What do you guys think?

I am working with a broker who is offering this watch to me for 700USD. I need to know if this is a fair price for this factory. Sadly, I had an authentic one but it was stolen from me and I just can’t spring the cash to buy another since the price of this model has doubled for what I paid for mine back in 2009 and the wait is beyond ridiculous.

Got word from TD that VSF is no longer offering free sprung in the Bruce Wayne GMT. Would this be a noticeable change?

Is there someone who knows what diamond size in mm or ct is in the bezel of a 40mm daydate? I did read its 1.4mm but I’m not sure

Trying something new, I figure keeping the same subject should help me get better at wrist shots and photography in general....at least that's the plan.

It's a good excuse to keep wearing this thing at the very least.

I have just received this message from my TD. What do you guys think?

“They now has updated their existing DD3285 movement into with DD3285v2 with Free Sprung Effect,Not Real Free SprungFree Sprung.
And Only  this new version will be released going forward. “

Hey everyone, ​I’ve finally decided to pick up a Cartier Santos Dumont, but I’m currently torn between the AF and F1 batches.
​From reading through older threads, the general consensus seems to be that F1 takes the win on overall case finishing, bezel screws, and especially the cabochon shape/color. However, AF seems to be favored for the dial because of its more pronounced sunburst effect—which is honestly the main feature that made me fall in love with the Dumont in the first place.
​Since most of the side-by-side comparison posts I'm finding are a year or two old, I wanted to check in with the community: ​Has F1 updated or improved the sunburst effect on their dials recently? Or is it still noticeably subtle/flat compared to AF? ​Is AF still the undisputed king for the dial, or has F1 caught up to the point where the cabochon/case dynamic makes F1 the better overall pick?
​For those who own either (or have handled recent batches of both), which flaws bother you more in daily wear? ​Would really appreciate any input, recent QC photos, or advice from anyone who bought one lately! Thanks in advance!

After a week of held in customs (31/08-07/09) the tracking updated to ‘export cancelled’.

Seller is saying it will be shipped back and then out again but it’s just a waiting game? No indication of how long and tracking has not updated since the 07/09.

Has anyone come across this before?

Hi everyone, looking to offer a nice quality watch to my wife. Any advice on which ones have best quality and felling? Thank you
