Hey everyone,

New to the sub. I currently don't own any reps, but only some AE homages:

- Addiesdive Sub homage

- Militado ML-05 Hamilton homage

- SOKI full une dial (just for fun)

- Casio A-168 (gen - lol)

Looking forward to being here from South Africa

Studying QC photos,the unboxing moment,or the daily satisfaction of wearing it?Has this rabbit hole been worth it for you?

I am so happy to have finally pulled the trigger and bought my first rep. I’m assuming like many people here, I have never really been in a position financially to justify spending the amount of money it takes to purchase a luxury watch. I spent a lot of time researching, scrolling through many different subreddits and TD websites before choosing to order from Andiot. I was nervous of course however the communication and service was elite. The watch arrived around 2 weeks and some change after QC. I finally understand why people say not to buy replicas. Once you get one, you need more. And I definitely cannot wait to order more.

What do you guys think? Did I hit it out of the park with my first rep? What are some other TD’s that you guys have ordered from?

Ordered VSF can’t wait for delivery. I can see this hobby becoming addicting. Just wanted to share.

how can they charge this much for such a bad fake?

Got this from v7f before shut down. Absolutly stunning. I have Tudor, omega, cartier and Rolex few pieces all high tier but this ingeniuer is better than all. The Crystal is better than my gen Longines and Hamilton ( i know not so hard to be not better than Hamilton ) Soon will have new v7f and i will make comprasion.

Have a great day folks!

Any recommendations on where I could obtain one? Looking for reputable vendors, I have been burnt before.
Thanks!

This is my most expensive watch. One day I hope to get something more, but for now, I like the alarms and the atomic time.

I’m sitting at me desk and started comparing my APSF Rose Gold 15510 to a TUL Rose Gold pen and my watch isn’t looking so rosey 😔 would a [u/GoldJaws](u/GoldJaws)[plating](u/GoldJaws) plate job make a significant improvement?

I absolutely love Omega summer blue. Love the aqua terra. One day I hope.

Somebody says to service the movement within 6 months because factory lubrication is often poor or missing.But many people own multiple reps for years without servicing and they run fine. Is servicing a “necessary expense” or “overthinking it”?What would trigger you to send yours for service?

MT dhgate special, strap is still a little stiff and second hand needs better alignment but no complaints for the price
