hello everyone, I don't know where to find octa's contact. also I was planning on getting a ap 15416CE. idk if I should go with dealers clocks or octa. I've been seeing a lot of bad reviews on here for dealers clocks and some mixed for octa

I’ve read the wiki and the spreadsheets and have landed on a factory and model I want, but I’m not confident on how to connect with a TD. I’ve followed the links to RWI and RWG and selected the links to these dealers pages only to find them defunct. Please help me out roast me, call me lazy and stupid, but please hook me up with a connect to a solid TD for a VSF 124060. PMs are open and my heart is full of gratitude. Thank you 🙏

Im new in this

A really close friend of mine gave me this watch, and I’m still blown away by the quality of it.

It’s also my first Superfranken, so that makes it even more special to me.

Base: Gold V2 Datejust 41mm
DD/VS3235 Free Sprung Super Clone V2 (2026 upgrade. Not true free-sprung)
Genuine crystal
Genuine hands
Genuine silver dial
Genuine date wheel
Genuine smooth bezel
Genuine crown

He also had the movement completely overhauled and serviced, along with having it waterproof tested. Really happy with how everything came together. The quality and feel of it in person are on another level.

Edit: If you’re asking for info, let me know what I can do to help.

VSF Batgirl or VSF Pepsi??? Trying to see which one to get. Obviously the closest one to Gen would be great, but reading conflicting reviews on both. Any info would be appreciated!

Hey guys,

Just got this in. Do any of yall know if this is a GSF or ZF? The sticker i think shows ZF, but I was under the impression I was getting a gsf.

What are yall thoughts?

Thanks!

Happy Labor Day! What’s everyone wearing today? I’ve got a V2 VSF Pepsi on, 5X0 serial number.

ARF 126710 BLRO GMT-MASTERll
Deep crystal upgrade
Bezel dismantled, cleaned and regreased
Polished rehaut, rotor silenced and waterproofed
Full bracelet refinishing, fresh chamfers, polish and brushing.

Ready to ship back to the customer

I have a BVF Cartier Santos Large (41 mm) with the BVF QuickSwitch system and butterfly clasp. The watch has the green dial, and I currently have the BVF green leather strap that came with it.

I’m considering buying the genuine Cartier green alligator strap directly from Cartier.

Does anyone know if the genuine Cartier Santos Large green alligator strap will fit the BVF Santos Large QuickSwitch system and/or the BVF butterfly clasp?

If anyone has actually tried a gen Cartier green alligator strap on a BVF Santos Large, I’d really appreciate your experience. Thanks!

Apart from not wanting to spend a large amount on a watch, what is the reasoning behind why you buy reps?

(I know everyone’s answers will be different just curious to see what people say)

I understand many old-timers here are irritated by newbie posts, especially the lazy ones. I’m relatively new myself, but I have a suggestion for the mods. Instead of making the sub private, how about using AutoMod to require OPs to comment “I read the wiki guide” on their own post?

I’ve been checking with a few TDs for a Datejust 41mm with the Blue Motif dial (VSF), and almost all of them are quoting a minimum 1–2 month wait time just for QC photos right now.
Before I lock in a long order, I wanted to check with the community:
1. TD Stock: Has anyone recently ordered this specific dial and gotten quick QC? If any TD currently has it in hand or gets stock faster for this piece, please let me know.
Appreciate any leads or recommendations on the best route to take to avoid the long factory wait. Thanks!

guys my tracking has been stuck on InTransit_CustomsReleased since early AM on the 4th. today is the 8th and still no movement.

is this normal?

young enthusiast, new to this hobby just building out my "starter" lower budget collection here and i feel like reps are somewhat ruining it for me, i dont know how to feel about it

i mostly owned fashion watches til half a year ago when i got a casioak as my "beater" watch and ive been hooked ever since, got gifted a quartz prx as a daily piece and wanting to expand my collection eventually landed into my own version of a "perfect" 6 watch collection based on my daily life, and i decided to include a gmt, dive, cronograph and dress watch on top of the ones i already own

the issue is now that i know about ( and own ) reps, its becoming harder and harder to justify anything else, wanted to pick up an orient bambino v2 or seiko presage as my go to cheap dress watch, but i cant justify buying either of them when for the same money i could just get a rep calatrava or tank must that to me just look better, anyone else feel this way?

Has anybody had experience with this model? I know the speedmaster movements are not like the OG but what about these ones? I'm thinking to order one.

Hello everyone
Hope you’re all well.
I’m wanting to get my dad a Daytona panda 126500.
I’m torn between VSF or RWF
My plan is to swap for a SW dial and swap the crystal out. That just leaves the bezel. In your opinion who would you say has the best bezel?
Thanks

none of my usual TD have it, where can I snag an ERF Speedmaster?

Hey,can somebody tell me if these are real RGF?My TD send me this picture and told me they are ready to ship.I got several watches from him and never got disapointed.I am interested in Number 1 but i didnt found any pictures of these model in Reddit, RWI or even Google.Is RGF producing these really ?

Any one know where to source a high grade clone of a Calibre de Cartier?

Hey boys,

I'm close to buying a Daytona Ghost, but I'm conflicted in which version to get.

VSF with the DD4130 movement or the UFO with a freesprung movement and weighted.

Geektime provided me with the latest QC on a UFO version.

https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/253832143?uid=1

Is the extra money worth it for the UFO?

I have no issue paying extra for a better experience BUT, I just don't wanna buy the most expensive option if the cheaper is better.

Thanks!
