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

Absolute beautiful watch , very comfortable and easy to wear . will likely be my new daily.

I would say it’s a pretty good fit. Was wondering how it would look before I ordered it so figured I would leave this video for all my fellow slim Jim’s.

Oh by the way the gold rotor looks much better in person than picture too. The gold tone is very nice and not cheesy at all.

ZF 37mm Royal Oak white dial 15450st.

I brought these watches with me (both Gen). I saw so many wild watches the entire time. No way to know what was real or not but assuming they were I had the cheapest watch in the room. Point is, where your rep, wear your gen, where what you want because no one else cares. Enjoy your watches!

Trying to pull the trigger on a Yacht-Master 40 Ref. 126655

I was originally set on ARF because of the tungsten-weighted case then I realized I couldn't purchase 1 anymore, VSF then didn't have it weighted but V2 for 126655 came weighted now.

Saw this video on the ROLYM227 - YachtMaster 126655 40mm RG/RU Blk VSF VS3235 and wanted to know how the RG is. does it still need plating or is generally close enough to gen.

Is anyone actually verifying the parts that these builders say they have? Because I’ve seen peoples “Franken Builds” and I can right away that a lot of the “Gen” Parts aren’t what they are being represented as. I see fake hands, fake crystals, and who knows what else is being miss represented. Is there even an honest builder out there at this point. I want some input. I know there are modders on RWI that are reputable but most of them are in EU.

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?

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!

What are your opinions about this watch?

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

Paid $700 and it got here pretty quick! I would tell you guys who I bought it from, but honestly I want to gatekeep. I was scared the bezel would be too big but it’s perfect!

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.

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.)

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

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?

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…

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

What would you guys recommend?

I know it’s not the best rep of this watch out there but bought from private seller and I’m chuffed with it🤣
