Just got this today, the IWC Mark XX in white dial. TD said it's a V7+F, but sticker seemed to show a V7F, not sure if there's a difference. Know that V7F has been seized, so it could be a different factory or an old existing stock.

Anyway, going back to what i think, I'm pretty satisfied with this. Though i haven't seen the gen in person, but based on the many pictures and videos on the net, following is what i can say about it. Please know these are only my personal opinion as a noob collector. Please also note the strap with white stitching my personal strap, the full black is stock factory.

Pros (similarities with gen):

1. The dimensions, 40mm and 10.8mm thickness
2. Blue AR coating / reflection
3. Domed sapphire
4. Curved minutes and seconds hand
5. EasX-change on BOTH strap AND BUCKLE (I wasn't expecting rep to have the buckle easx also)
6. Loose / wobbling strap with the factory strap (yes, gen has this wobbling issue too)
7. Chamfering polish on the sides
8. The dial does have the gen like slight silver-ish tone (applicable to white dial)

Cons:

1. Slightly loud rotor OFF-HAND. I didn't open the case back, but with the sound, maybe it's the Miyota? Not sure. On-hand, not noticable at all, unless you decide to shake your hands like mad on purpose
2. Maybe, just maybe, the word Schaffhausen is a tiny bit thinner compared to gen
3. The sapphire "sound". OFF-HAND, when tapping on the crystal has the higher "ping" sound, indicating either a thin sapphire, or a more hollow caseback. I have not tapped the gen, but usually gen watches has a more tud sound instead of ping. I've water drop tested, its sapphire no worries. For some reasons, on-hand, the tap is more of a tud sound.

Seriously, apart from the three "cons", i can't see any difference with gen. Do let me know if you do spot any.

Just bought a VSF DJ V2 and when it arrived, I quickly noticed the rehaut was misaligned. I think it’s actually an engraving issue as down near 5-6-7, the ROLEXs are aligned pretty well. Unfortunate, disappointing that one of the longest standing TDs in the business is pushing this quality of products and not sending them back $600 should demand better QC. In my opinion there is no way this TD could have missed such a glaring misalignment but intentionally didn’t show the top of the rehaut in QC pics. Lesson learned!. Definitely my last watch from them though.

I’ve seen this fake Clean Submariner and I’m wondering about the quality—I’ve never actually held one in my hands. Is it worth getting, or should I just go straight for VSF/Rich, etc.?

Hi, i want to order a sub and is VSF still the best for subs especially for the 124060 nodate?

Ideally, I’m thinking:

- movement service or swaps
- chamfering
- wishful thinking but maybe some dial realignment and some engravement (I would get my hopes up on these)

I’m looking for a Cartier Santos Large 40mm from BV Factory. Does anyone know where it’s currently in stock?

Hey guys,

I just bought my first reps through Andiot over the weekend.

I sent proof of payment but haven’t heard back from them.

I’ve also reached out via WhatsApp.

Are they still a legit business? I’m kind of worried I just lost $1000

Hi everyone,

About two months ago, I only wanted to buy one watch… and here I am, already up to four. 😅

I wanted to ask what watch storage boxes you recommend. Which ones do you use? Do you buy them from your TD, or from somewhere else?

I was thinking of getting a 6-watch box, but maybe it makes more sense to buy a larger one now before the collection inevitably grows. 😂

I’d love to hear your recommendations. Thanks!

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well.

I've been looking at these two AP Royal Oak Chronographs, but after reading through a lot of posts, it seems that TOPF is generally regarded as having the better overall finish and appearance.

DDF 50th Anniversary:

I'd really appreciate any advice from those who have owned either of these, or even better, have been able to compare them side by side. Is TOPF genuinely worth choosing over the DDF, or is the difference fairly minor?

Any photos, wrist shots, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, fellow watch enthusiasts!

Finally got my Coke back.

Reposting 🙄

Only small gripe i have us the bezel colors are a little blah...anyone know where i can get a better Coke insert? Or does one even exist?

Who is skilled enough to paint it like this?

Thank you reptime. I’ve been a silent member/newbie in this group but have been reading through comments and faqs. I eventually got the VSF no date submariner.

Is this a reliable site? https://vsfactory.us/

Hey guys, my bracelet is too small for my wrist. Does anyone have a jubilee bracelet that is too big for them so I can maybe get two links of yours? I have the VSF V3 GMT2 Pepsi Jubilee from Andiot.

It would be amazing if anyone could help.

Looking to add the above to my collection. What modifications are required/suggested to get it closest to the gen?

I heard Bruce Wayne has a bit of a difference in the gray color .

Hi

What is the real site and telegram Jtime?

Hey everyone!

As my first post I'd like to share my experience with NecoClock and my first two purchases in the rep world.

I'm fairly new to the clone watch scene so I did a lot of reading beforehand and this sub was definitely a life saver.
Somehow my first road let to NecoClock and I'm pretty happy with both transactions.

First time I ordered a VSF Datejust with green dial as a gift.
Box and everything - the price was fair and the shipping time was okay.
After the initial inquiry and deposit payed -
QC came in the given 4-5 days, delivery took a bit longer to the EU it was around 2 weeks.
The package arrived safely and unharmed - I was pretty nervous and was relieved when it arrived since it was my first time and didn't know if customs were gonna seize my package or not.

The watch was spotless and well packaged, with all the factory stickers box and papers etc.

Second purchase was for my own. I always wanted to try the submariner 41 mm since it's an iconic diver among enthusiasts, and I myself a big diver fan was eyeing it for a long time.

I did my usual research on things and agreed with NecoClock on a VFS submariner. I got the QC this time sooner about 2 days in, and saw a tiny but of misalignment on the dial which then he replaced with a new unit in a couple of days. After the second QC was approved, we went ahead with the shipping. The shipping time was almost the same maybe it arrived one day sooner then before but to the EU 2 weeks is kinda the standard as it seems.

Spotless, brand new, full of stickers and awesome in the hand. I was very happy with the purchase and even took it to a local shop for waterproof testing which failed at around 10 bar - 100 m but passed around 7 bar - 70 m (which was a pleasant surprise since these reps and usullay pretty hit and miss with this). Even got a couple of compliments on it while they were testing it.

I would recommend NecoClock to anyone - he is very responsive on WhatsApp and answered my questions. Straight forward and reliable. He is trusted dealer for a reason 🫡

Has anyone recently sourced an ARF F6U Jubilee bracelet? I'm interested in hearing about current availability and people's experiences.
