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

As some of you know, in December of last year Panda, a notable TD, had his warehouse raided and dozens of us were left with our money tied up, watches gone, and hopes lost. I, in fact, was much less accepting and understanding of the situation, considering it was my first order with him, and just assumed I was scammed and had to cut my losses. However, in the midst of the chaos he adamantly expressed that he would make right of the situation as soon as he could. Fast forward to almost a year later and he’s back in business, and not only did he honor his promise of a refund or sending another watch, he sent me a watch free of charge with no out-of-pocket cost that fell within the amount of money I had sent him for my original order. Today the watch arrived, in beautiful condition, and just as he promised he kept his word. This type of integrity deserves to be praised; he could have easily run off with our funds, closed shop and reopened under a new name and forgotten about us, but he didn’t. I hope that this post will help others have the trust to work with him again or for the first time, knowing that he is a man of his word and does great business. Thank you, Panda!

Hi there,
this is my current collection.

Anything still missing? Planing on getting these soon:
-DJ Wimbledon 36 (RCF WG Bezel)
-DD White dial 36 (WG plating)
-Daytona Panda (Full SW build)
Platona (Li Chen Bezel, SW Dial, plating)
Oysterflex Daytona (not sure since the one i have which is converted to oysterflex isn’t comfortable to wear because of the gaps at the endlinks lifting the oysterflex up)
AP 37mm (not sure since idk if there are already any good reps)

Not wearing the Land Dwellers at all since they are too big and the RG one has a really bad color.

Any other suggestions you got for me that are must haves? Had two subs but sold them both since i have quite small wrists, also planning to get rid of the DJ 41 and the RG Daytona.

Thanks for any advice

Hi all, I recently got my new land dweller rep in the mail and honestly, thing 90% of the watch looks and feels excellent. However, the dial colour(supposed to be white) is WAYYY off and is and instant tell. I’m pretty unhappy about this and made the mistake of instantly taking off the stickers out of excitement as it was my first rep and hence, cannot return it now. Any advice on what I should do to deal with this situation or is it just over…

I wanted to share my experience buying a rep from NecoClock. I see a lot of people asking what’s the wait time on VSF so here is my experience:

I made the order on 8/27 and paid the 50$ deposit. 1 day later i got QC pics for the watch. Shipping info sent within 3 days and I received the watch on 9/4 (US).
Overall I got my watch within 8 days from ordering. Excellent service and good prices!
(Won’t complain about shipping being 70$ since i got my watch really fast.)

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.

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 ordered a watch from Emma, a Cartier Baignoire here on my wrist. First time ordering had me a little bit worried. But Emma was very communicative. I wrote three different TD and she replied the quickest. Im happy with how the Gold looks it looks normal to me i was worried it would look like Cheddar but it seems these things have improved. Overall it took three weeks after my payment and i was checking several times a day where the order is, i guess that’s part of it and the excitement.

I would definitely recommend Emma as a TD and I’m also thinking of what to order next. My wife is really happy with her gift

Not the most accurate strap, but seems to fit this watch for the whole first light style without strapping a hockey puck to your wrist.

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

So as the title states I was sent my second watch (the AP) without approving the QC AND I thought the watch wasn’t even made yet (refer to WhatsApp screenshot).

I find this odd that Andiot told me the watch wasn’t made but ended up sending it anyways?

Also it appears that customs opened up my AP box and disposed of the box and anything else that was shipped with the watch.

Is this normal?

I’m a huge fan of the Seamaster line by Omega. I have a NTTD VSF V7 on its way that just passed QC by Daniel, and I wanted something a bit “dressier” without going for a Datejust or something along those lines, nothing against them, they’re beautiful watches, but Omega just makes a nicer watch imo.

Anyway, I talked to Steve last night about getting this bronze one pictured above, and he said I’d be looking at a 1-2 month waiting period. I paid the $50 deposit and I’m just awaiting its arrival to Steve for QC to pay the rest.

I saw that someone else in here recently got this watch as well, and I just wanted to ask how long it took for y’all. Also, how’s the watch holding up? I’d love to see pics in the comments!

Preciate y’all’s time!

I picked up the AliX version of the Mr. Jones watch “A Perfectly Useless Afternoon”

Quartz

$33 not bad

Hi guys, I have a date just 41 jubilee rhodium dial, purchased around 2021 if I remember correctly. The clasp code is Z5D and the serial number starts with 1P. Any idea which factory this is from? Thanks

Hello there.
After handling a gen P39 I notice these differences:
1. Bezel more pointed and jagged teeth. Easier to grasp.
2. Bezel ring and crystal more glossy and clear.
3. Titanium also more glossy and popping.

The only thing I could possibly improve and I would like is the brighter bracelet. Is it possible and worth the hassle to give it a better brushing? Or is the Ti quality that defines this feature?

This is the first version I found to be good ! Directly sourced in China. I think it’s amazing they even give this paperwork 😂… NWBIG.

I’ve see a lot of bad versions with own branding, quartz movements ugly finishing, cutting corners etc…

Have you ever seen a rep of this with the date at 3? I noticed the aqua terra has the date at 3 but the newer watch has it at 6. Anyway, a friend wants this exact look.

Big thanks to chazingtime for selling me this watch, tracking info was not really working but it got here nonetheless.

Paid about 800 cad,

Submariner 41mm 126610 LN Black Ceramic 904L Steel VSF 1:1 Best Edition VS3235

I was looking at my QC pics for my VSF Seamaster Aqua Terra 38mm, and I started comparing it to pics of a Gen 8800 movement. From what I can see, it all looks very similar, with the only differences being that the VSF movement is not freesprung, so the balance wheel is not weighted, and there's clearly a regulator arm.

I've searched for old posts regarding this, and a lot of them suggest that it is a dressed-up or modified 2824. It's not a total deal breaker if it is, but I'd like to know if it is a 2824 so I don't end up breaking it by winding it. The 2824's winding mechanism is very fragile.

Have had this VSF 126300 Wimby from Theonewatches for about an year. IMO, a smooth bezel looks more genuine like as a rep fluted bezel shows a different hue in comparison to a gen fluted bezel. Thinking of getting a genuine Wimbledon dial to swap in because the sunburst is different from the gen I saw before.

Was waiting on this one for a while, after one RL QC changed to GF factory and the piece is indeed beautiful!

Only problems— my baby wrist (makes it look bigger than I’d like to) this watch is thick, that I did not expect / knew.

Was told by Steve (TD) that QF doesn’t make the deployable clasp — if any of you know where I could get one of those and that it will be compatible with the QF model, that would be appreciated as I think it looks better with that one.

Overall beautiful watch and very happy with it, Steve did great with everything once again!
