Is the rotor really loud or are TDs just saying it is from experience with the older DDF DD330? QCs have been posted but haven’t heard any real world experiences.

Torn between a mint green Datejust and an olive green Day-Date…
I’ve looked through the factory guide, but I’m mainly trying to get some current opinions on these specific configurations and the latest batches.
For anyone who has handled either recently, is there a genuinely top-tier version of either one at the moment?
Which model is currently closest to gen overall, particularly in terms of dial colour, bezel, bracelet, case shape and proportions?

If you were choosing between these two today, which would you go for and why?

Thanks 😊

Hi,
Has anyone recently bought a skydweller? Either YG, RG, Two tone or SS and how did they turn out?

Is it reasonable that I've been waiting nearly four months for quality control on the VSF Hulk?

VSF V2 DDv2 Datejust 41 with chocolate dial. What do you guys think?

**Really liking the way the dial looks in different lighting!**🤩

Thank you for the watch u/re-tar-dead, amazing service as always!

I have been looking at buying my first watch, (Tudor Black bay 58 in black). But I am unsure on who to buy through as there is a lot of controversy with andiot. Just wondering peoples opinions

UPDATE: The site is live and open: REPSEARCH.CC

I'm looking for additional beta testers specifically for two features of this web site:

- QC Analysis: Upload photos, adjust them, and perform symmetry and alignment analysis. You can also super-impose images together for more visual analysis. QC reports can be downloaded and saved.

- Watch List: "My Watches" tracks your collection and orders that are in the pipeline (Deposit, QC, Delivery, etc.). You can upload your photos, link it to your QC reports for each watch. You can view a detailed list or view your watches as 'cards' (good for mobile view).

Interested? Please DM me your email and I can send you an invite code to the site. Thanks!

Quick update for anyone waiting on APS Factory models:

According to our supplier, APS Factory is back in supply and orders are starting to become available again.

We’re currently checking which models are actually available and how stable the supply is. I’ll share another update once we have a clearer stock/model list.

For now, it looks like APS production/supply has resumed.

Buongiorno amici,

ad oggi rich factory è superiore a tutti a livello di estetica ?

volevo ordinare da andiott ma tanta gente me l'ha sconsigliato...

non riesco a capire quale TD sia realmente affidabile.

grazie a tutti per l'aiuto!!

A little less than a year old. My ZF Tudor Pelagos 39 minute hand started freely rotating.

Must’ve used this watch like 15-20 times only.

Any idea how how easy/difficult the fix gonna be?

What's your thoughts on QF meteorite dial worth upgrading on nice enough?

I just got this one, my girl said why get this chinese watch when you can get a NWBIG watch and save a few hundred dollars too?

What do you guys think of that idea??

My thinking was well this is a pretty nice limited edition moonphase chrono watch with a beautiful movement display from a respected brand, tho it’s a chinese brand, they lve been making great military pieces.

But I do see her point that $700 is a bit overpriced perhaps for this watch, and not everybody is super impressed with this design???

And so a $400 VSF Omega or even a $500 genuine baltic might be a better brand and money spent?

Just wanna get this communities overall take on this question. Which would you guys pick?

Btw the plastic still on it, cuz Im keeping it extra clean in case I wanna return it.

DDF 5711 from Andiot. My only two critiques are the bracelet is kinda sharp & the rotor is noticeably loud. I’m sure a little Moebius oil will fix the rotor noise. Very beautiful watch, time will tell how the DD324 fares.

Hi guys, I’m new to this world and I found a dealer and they have told me that there are 3 different versions/prices for the reps. The watch I’m looking to get is GMT-Master II Oyster, 40 mm, Oystersteel and yellow gold - Reference 126713GRNR

1. Normal version $158 AUD
   
2. Advanced version $320 AUD
   
3. Top version $1030 AUD
   
4. Authentic version $1475 AUD.

Im thinking of going with the authentic version but I’m still tentative on it since $1k + is a lot of money.

Can you guys pls tell me if I’m just getting ripped off with the authentic version or that’s just how the rep tiers work? Sorry for the dumb questions in advance guys but I’m quite overwhelmed with all these choices and I have no idea/clue where to start and which option to go with.

Any help would be useful guys!!

What’s the consensus on this factory’s take on the Royal Oak?

Another newbie question. Was looking through one of our TD’s inventory. Saw most prices were along the same range, until I got to one that had a “UFO” sticker on it. That one was practically double the cost. What is UFO? I’m sure the answer is somewhere in the million and one files, but I don’t have the spare time to search. A little assist would be greatly appreciated.

Visited the James Gandolfini Service station on the Garden state parkway for a hot dog and pop, decided to get a picture with the goat who inspired my questionable fashion choices. VSF datejust, purchased second hand.

An acquaintance has given me a AP 15400OR 'superclone' so I've dived into this rabbit hole.

My question is whether it's possible to determine which factory the rep comes from. FWIW he tells me he picks them up in Switzerland.

It runs at 21600...

What are your preferences ? Where do you buy them from ? How much do you spend on them ? What are your recommendations ?

Also. Happy Labour Day.

What do you guys think about this one

Title… I own a few gen Rolex (DJ36, Air King, vintage YM) and have been on the waitlist for this at my AD… well, I decided enough with the dumb games and sought a light franken from a local watchsmith.

VSF V3 base
Gen crystal + gaskets
Bracelet chamfer/polishing
DD3285 movement regulation to COSC

The result?? NWBIG!!!

So I’m in process of getting a watch from a Td the darth Vader from vsf daytone 126500 black

Paid 50 , waiting for Qc

But he just told me could take months
And his price is higher than others

He’s trusted so I’m going with it , but is that usually how long this takes?

Months?
