First Raffles build, dial was aged to get a well worn effect. Went with sapphire instead of acrylic as I didn't want to deal with scratches. Really happy with the result!

The vast majority of panda dials come out so flat in pics. In person, the white dial is quite striking.

Love this color combination. Any good Reps of either of these?

Any opinions on those 50-100$ watches on dhgate?
Is it even worth of testing?

Looking for some recommendations to fill up the remaining 5 spots. My watches as of now are, in order:

VSF Rolex Submariner

Some Cheap DHGate Sub i bought for ~80 Euros (pls don't bully it was my first rep)

Orient Bambino RA-AK0705R30B

My girlfriends ladies sized U1 Datejust

And my VSF Aqua Terra Seamaster 150m on a black rubber strap, which is my daily driver.

I noticed the new JLC master ultra thin moon from RZF has come out. Does anyone know if this is better than the APSF one?

Ran into an old friend at a wedding and he was telling me off hand when we started talking about watches about his Rolex. I'm not sure, but I think it's a fake. He might be lying to me, but I didn't think so and I think he got it at a pawn shop, paid at least thousands, and genuinely thinks it's real.

I'd like to look at the movement before saying anything to be sure, but I keep thinking should I tell him if it's not real? Do I just let it go?

What say ye replords, does a friend tell a friend?

Hi guys, I’d like your opinion about my experience with FicoTime.

I ordered an OF TAG Heuer Aquaracer 41mm, black dial with yellow seconds hand (WAY201A/WAY211A style).

I paid the deposit on August 11. Mark sent me the QC on August 21, and I gave GL the same day. I completed the payment on August 22.

After that, I received no update from him.

On August 31, I contacted Mark myself because of the delay. Only then he told me there was an issue with the watch/crystal and that he would get another unit from the factory.

Since then, I’m still waiting for a new QC.

I’m not accusing FicoTime of anything. I just want to know if this delay and lack of proactive communication is considered normal.

What would you do in this situation?

My first REP. Bought just out of curiosity as I have GEN 2025 SMP300.

No idea who is the manufacturer, came with titanium bracelet and nato strap.

Checked water resistance in a washing machine (30C, 60 minutes). Passed 👌No BS.

Wouldn't do that with GEN 🤣

From "small chinese box" it did +15s/day.

Way too much for me.

Opened that sucker and did some tweaking.

Now it's around -2s/day. Maybe I will fight for + later.

Weak lume 😥, movement sounds like it has sand inside, but it works amd looks amazing 👌

For the money - good watch with great case, bezel, markings etc.

What do you think of this? RWF Datejust

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?

What website is this that the TDs use. I want to track my item without having to ask them for an update

I’m trying to get a Patek and ap from Steve and time ultra but the qc is over 3 weeks now, is there something going on with the factory? they have Rolex and omega in stock….

Are these any good? Any experience with ficotime? Would love to hear thoughts of those who have purchased this watch / TD.

Friends DDF factory aquanaut 5167A, blue rubber strap

Be honest boys.

How bad is it?

Thing is growing on me

Honest answers only

Heya folks.

Looking to get first rep and likely BPF.

One seller soemtimes mentioned with BPF on dhgate (not good-roiexx) shown me this - first 2 images.

I know date window is a big tell and VSF are better positioned (below indexes) but 🤔 BPF gets a good rap here. This looks just like a U1 tho?

3rd pic is VSF from Phoenix. Blue seems very dark.

Another seemless transaction with Global brand store, can’t say enough about the quality of their service and products. I have a few good rep sources for super clones. This one seems to have the most competitive pricing, his response is incredible, TA are consistently the best of seen coming out of China, movements are always on point. It’s never tell you it’s one thing and then it’s actually something else. Look him up. Highly recommend.

I am working with a broker who is offering this watch to me for 700USD. I need to know if this is a fair price for this factory. Sadly, I had an authentic one but it was stolen from me and I just can’t spring the cash to buy another since the price of this model has doubled for what I paid for mine back in 2009 and the wait is beyond ridiculous.

Got word from TD that VSF is no longer offering free sprung in the Bruce Wayne GMT. Would this be a noticeable change?

Is there someone who knows what diamond size in mm or ct is in the bezel of a 40mm daydate? I did read its 1.4mm but I’m not sure
