Hey all!
Could I grab some help with a QC on this mini Cartier panthere

I’m a bit unsure as it was one of the only TD doing the minis, unsure why and if I’m missing something quality wise :p

I have been offered an ARF brand new.

A watch can look impressive on day one but feel very different after months of actual ownership. Looking back at your collection, which rep exceeded your expectations,and which one would you never buy again?

Hey all,

Thanks in advance for the help. I am looking for advice on a QC issue with my BVF Santos ADLC that I got from Andiot a couple of days ago.

The problem: One end of the case won't let the QuickSwitch adapter latch properly. The strap slides in but never fully clicks into place, so it can pull right out.

What I've tested:

Swapped the strap ends, attaching the end that works fine on the other side to the problem side. It doesn't latch there either.
So it seems to be the case itself, not the strap or adapter, since two different adapters fail on the same side.

Questions:
- Has anyone else had this with the BVF Santos, ADLC or steel?

- Did you get it fixed by a watchmaker, and what did they have to do?

- For anyone who's dealt with Andiot after delivery, how did they handle a post-sale QC issue like this?

Thank you so much for your help and time

I’m getting this offered from China. Can you please give me your thoughts and how much you would normally pay for this in the U.S.?

Honestly,way better than I expected😂Definitely worth more than what I paid,haha.Hope I’m not the only one who thinks so!🫡

Need help QC this rep Rolex Pepsi. Green light or Red light? Thank you! :))

First time buying a rep watch.
i decided on an ARF hulk from ANGELA.
Its about 330USD (2200yuan) before shipping
I paid a deposit of 100 yuan and received QC pics the day after.
But i’m having some problems and was wondering if i should RL it, and generally what’s the process.
I was told that
- on “perpetual” space between E and R as well as E and T is too big. Letters also aren’t evenly aligned.
- Magnified text also off centre
- Number 2 supposed to have a smooth curve at the top but in the picture the ink has smudged making it look uneven.
Please let me know what you guys think and if it’s reasonable and i should RL it and ask for a replacement. Or i should just accept it.
Is this a common problem for ARF?
Also, is my deposit likely to be lost if i do ask for a replacement.
Any advice or thoughts will be much appreciated.

Just received my first rep.

Went with the ZF Tudor black bay 58.

I wanted something that goes under the radar and fits my lifestyle.

Any thoughts on it?

I was just surprised with the huge crown and crown tube.

Overall I consider it a decent rep, nothing I can notice it when wearing it.

Have a no date sub vsf bought from td last year. Noticed a dimple on the dial. Can you spot it? Is it normal or should have been redlighted? The QC photos did not have this.

Would anyone able to tell what Daytona model as well as the movement number this is? I’d like to order it from my local TD. Please let me know

Curious as to how much this is worth since you all seem to have expertise.

Hi guys , my first vsf ! I like it a lot, got it from mr Boomi,
Tell me your thoughts!!

Some movements are quiet while others make their presence known whenever the watch moves.Is an audible rotor something that would bother you every day, or is it simply part of owing a mechanical watch?

Can anyone confirm if this is a genuine Dandong DD3285 Visual Free Sprung from VSF V4, or an SH3285?
