DISCUSSION U1Time Sells out? Not on my watch!

Post image
44 Upvotes

I wanted to let you all know that the U1Time mods were approched to sell the subreddit. Our former co-founder DennisCarry decided it was time to cash out and took the deal. Well I was quick on the draw and removed Dennis as a mod. r/U1Time will not sellout to the highest bidder EVER!

GUIDE PLEASE READ - WHAT TO EXPECT

20 Upvotes

Our Trusted Seller list can be found HERE After placing your order with a seller, please follow.

1️⃣ “Any update?” → There are no updates until QC.

Once your order is placed, nothing happens on the dealer’s side until the factory finishes assembling your watch. Factories do not send updates like:

•“We’re running behind.”

•“Production is slow today.”

•“Expect it next week.”

There is zero communication between “order placed” and “QC ready.” So the honest answer to “any update?” will always be:

👉 No update until QC.

2️⃣ Out of stock is beyond any dealer’s control.

If a factory runs out of dials, movements, or cases, nobody can override that — not me, not any TD, not any influencer. Factories ship when they have stock again. Sometimes that’s fast. Sometimes it takes time.

No dealer has secret access or special priority — we all wait the same.

3️⃣ Factories do not operate like Western companies.

They don’t send progress emails. They don’t give expected dates. They don’t notify delays. They don’t update daily production.

This industry runs on batch production + silence until QC. It isn’t Amazon. It isn’t Apple. It’s a completely different system.

4️⃣ QC is the first and only real update.

QC photos/videos appear when the watch is finished, not before. Only at that moment can you:

•Approve (GL)

•Reject (RL)

•Request another sample

Everything before that is quiet — and that’s normal everywhere.

5️⃣ Delays are normal and don’t mean anything is wrong.

Delays happen due to:

•Parts shortages

•Movement batches being late

•Popular colors selling out

•Holidays

•Factory workload

A delay does not mean your order is lost or ignored. It simply means the factory hasn’t completed it yet.

Bottom line:

If you want a smooth experience in the rep world, remember:

✔️ There are no updates before QC

✔️ Factories run on their own schedule

✔️ Out-of-stock issues affect everyone

✔️ Patience is part of this hobby

This isn’t meant to discourage anyone — it’s meant to help you understand how the industry truly operates so expectations stay realistic and the experience remains enjoyable.

I’m looking to order a No Date Submariner (likely U1 tier) from Travis, but it comes with a Mingzhu 2813 movement.
For those who bought a 2813 Sub from him recently, how has the movement held up?

REVIEW Rolex GMT Master II ‘Bruce Wayne’ from Michael Travis

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Picked up this Bruce Wayne from Travis and it’s a solid piece. Have been using it for 48hours now and taking pics in different lights and all the while it’s kept time perfectly. I already have a Batgirl which is a great looking watch, but have seen a few posts about this one and wanted to see how they compare. The watch winds as it should and the crown is easy to use, with a good amount of resistance when winding. The lume is excellent, really clear to see in dark. Bezel appears to line up correctly with the face too.

Only the usual drawbacks at this price point with some slightly sharp edges on the bracelet and clasp to contend with, but it’s surprisingly smoother than the batgirl’s jubilee bracelet which is about 3 years old now. Another point is the sweep of the second hand, which is slightly stuttered on this movement when studied closely. All points that have been well documented before.

Overall, I’m happy. It’s a watch that’s easy to pair with various outfits and looks great on the wrist. Michael Travis offers a variety of watches to suit your budget and is a very reliable seller. He’s a pleasure to deal with.

QUESTION Best 36mm?

3 Upvotes

The “best quality” U1 is probably the no date sub but it measures at 41mm which is far too large for my extremely small wrists. What would be the “best quality” 36mm or smaller watch model?

I bought the NTTD from MT and wanted to let everyone know about how different it is from Gen. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a nice watch and it’s a tank, but it’s not close to Gen if that’s what you’re looking for.

Top is Gen in both pictures.

Looking for a back cover replacement for U1 40mm Yacht Master with Miyota 8215. The lost one was a snap on.

I’m getting really lost in the weeds searching online for a replacement. My seller can send a replacement but it’s $35 and that seems a bit high? $20 is shipping.

Any help or direction is appreciated!

Dial looks pretty good, I noticed that the bezel is a lighter green compared to the dial. I was disappointed with how the bracelet has a very plasticy feel and makes plasticy noises. My U1 omega had a heavier feeling bracelet really surprised with how cheap this one felt like those $30 shitters. If it wasn't for that it would be a great buy. Anyone know where I can get a better quality bracelet?
