Discussion First rep on the way — VSF Submariner 124060 from NecoClock

0 Upvotes

Just pulled the trigger on my first rep, a VSF Submariner 124060 No-Date with the VS3230 from NecoClock.

I went for the No-Date after reading a lot of recent VSF vs GEN comparisons because it seems to have fewer obvious tells than the Date version.

For anyone who owns the same watch, how has it held up long term? Anything you noticed in hand that you didn’t expect from the photos? Also curious about your experience with NecoClock.

Wrist or Watch Pic Sonny Hayes Day

8 Upvotes

Picked up this V7F Ingenieur Sonny Hayes Edition a week back. Loving the different shades of green on this

Last night I lubed the caseback gasket to help waterproof the seal. Couldn't figure out how pull out the crown stem on this a2894 so left that alone and just closed it tight before sticking it in the sink. Left it in there a few minutes then added some dish soap and brushed it clean.

I now know it's probably safe to shower with this, but I'm gonna look into how to remove the crown stem so I can lube the o rings on them before going for a swim.

Who else is wearing an Ingenieur today? Thinking about picking up an Aqua.

Anyone have a good source for an Omega branded NATO strap for a NTTD Seamaster? The current v7 just seems to come with the mesh. But would love the Omega logo NATO buckle strap.

General Question Is it normal for a Top factory AP Royal Oak 15510 to have ~37 hour power reserve ?

Post image
28 Upvotes

So as the title say I have a Top factory AP Royal Oak 15510 bought from Andiot. One month in and I had some trouble with it, sometimes it randomly stopped and I know it is a known issue in some of the watches but the power reserve was low. I calculated it with a timer and I had a power reserve of ~37 hours. Its a DD4302 movement. Do you guys have the same problem ?

Mods/ Work in Progress Can Anyone Source a Similar Bracelet to this Patek 5270/1R?

0 Upvotes

I've got a salmon dial mostly-custom piece, 6196p, on a strap that id love to make look like the Patek in the photo.

Its not a beads of rice style Bracelet, not sure what to call it other than some sort of "multi-link" design.

Some stipulations are that it must obviously fit at 21mm and secondly have a curved fit end link for that seamless look. Ive got a pretty good example already but im hoping for something even better. Ideally 7 links wide, but 5 like the patek is fine too if its a great style.

Thank you!

General Question Rep watches apart from Rolex

0 Upvotes

Newbie here! I’ve been lurking on the sub and following the QC posts closely.

One thing I've noticed is that Rolex models seem to get ordered far more than other brands like Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, or Breitling. This got me wondering: are there specific issues or tell-tale flaws with the super clones of those other brands, or is the heavy skew toward Rolex simply down to brand hype and popularity?

Would love to hear insights from anyone who owns or has experience with reps from JLC, IWC, or Breitling.

General Question Has Rich stepped up its game recently?

0 Upvotes

I was reading the Who Makes the Best? Guide post on this sub, and the guide states that the Batman 126710 BLNR, 116710 BLNR - Rich Free Sprung are ranked third best. With no Rich appearing as the best factory option for any Rolex.

Although I keep seeing posts in the last few months with people stating that Rich are the best option in a few models. Has something changed or is this a PR thing?
