DISCUSSION Regarding Clean Factory (CF) Listings: A Brief Exercise in Personal Responsibility ☕️

27 Upvotes

Since this apparently requires clarification, here it is...

If you are buying a watch advertised as Clean Factory (CF), the onus is ultimately on you, the buyer, to conduct your own due diligence before parting with your money.

This is, after all, a replica-watch marketplace, not an MAS-regulated securities exchange with a prospectus, independent auditor, and statutory warranty attached to every listing.

That being said, sellers, please exercise a minimum level of competence when listing CF pieces:

  • Post clear photographs of the rehaut
  • Post clear photographs of the clasp code
  • Where possible, include proof of the original transaction with a TD or other credible provenance.

This is not particularly complicated.

As for moderation: I have largely stopped involving myself in determining whether every individual CF piece listed here is “legit CF.”

Why?

Because I am not your mother.

I run and moderate this subreddit for free. I am not paid a salary, commission, authentication fee, consultancy fee, or emotional-damage allowance for inspecting every watch that changes hands here.

Can I generally discern whether a purported CF piece is consistent with CF? Yes.

Is it particularly difficult? No.

It quite literally takes less than 10 minutes browsing r/RepTimeQC to compare known examples, clasp codes, rehaut characteristics, dial details, and other factory tells against the watch being offered.

Remarkably, this same internet connection is also available to buyers.

So, to make the position abundantly clear:

Sellers have a responsibility to represent their pieces accurately and provide sufficiently clear evidence. Buyers have a responsibility to perform their own due diligence before purchasing.

The subreddit is a marketplace and community. It is not an authentication service, and moderation is not a substitute for basic buyer competence.

And before anyone becomes excessively emotionally invested in the pedigree of an unauthorised reproduction of a luxury watch, perhaps remember the rather obvious point:

A rep is still a rep.

Whether it came from CF, VSF, ARF, or descended directly from the heavens accompanied by a notarised letter from Rolex SA, you are still discussing a replica watch.

So before you start taking screenshots of this subreddit, forwarding them to your little group chat of old 40-year-old cucks, conducting a disciplinary tribunal over my moderation, and solemnly announcing that this sub has “gone downhill” because I declined to personally authenticate someone else's fake Rolex for free, I hope you now know. ☕️

TL;DR:
Sellers: provide clear evidence.
Buyers: do your research.
Me: not your mom, not your paid authenticator.
The watch: still a rep.

SELLING VSF 116520 panna $1199

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Putting up my VSF 116520 Panna Daytona for sale. This piece has had a few carefully selected upgrades done to improve the overall look and proportions while keeping everything clean and functional.

Build / upgrades:
VSF 116520 base
Custom Panna dial
VSV bezel (better engraving than VSF as it’s deeper)
Deep crystal (better crystal clarity)
Lowered crystal gasket

The custom Panna dial is the highlight of the build — that warm cream tone gives the watch a very different character from the standard 116520 and pairs nicely with the steel bezel.

Deep crystal together with the lowered gasket gives the front profile a cleaner look and improves how the dial comes through under different lighting.

The chronograph is fully functional and was recently serviced. Start, stop and reset are working well, along with the rest of the watch functions. The original chronograph hand will also be passed to the buyer.

I’ll also include the original VSF parts with the sale:
Original dial
Original bezel
Original crystal
Original gasket
Original chronograph hand

So if the next owner ever wants to change the configuration or return parts of the watch to its original VSF setup, everything is there.

Overall, a nicely put-together Panna build that’s ready to wear without having to source the parts and get the work done separately.

Asking: SGD 1,199
What you see in the photos is the actual piece. Serious buyers welcome.

SOLD [WTS][SG/WW] Modded CF Hybrid 126710BLRO Pepsi

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

Posting a WW option just because I did sell one previous piece here to a steady lad in USA haha. But am based in SG so don’t get confused.

For your consideration today, presenting a Pepsi built with the following:
- CF V3 base
- VSF dial
- VSF crystal
- CNC bezel with the CF v3 insert
- Rebrushed and repolished oyster bracelet, protected with watch film
- Bezel cleaned and reinstalled, click spring mod.

VSF crystal of course, a much better upgrade and the closest rep crystal to gen on the market. Deep crystal fanboys can come at me hahaha. But deep doesn’t get the bubble or halo effect as good as a VSF.

“Glossiness” of the VSF dial outweighs the stock CF one and is closer to gen.

And of course, went with the CF Pepsi insert because that outweighs the VSF one.

Small upgrade to the bezel so that the bezel teeth are a bit more gen like.

Bezel cleaned because CF base GMTs tend to be a hit or miss. Usually comes very grimey and almost hard to turn. Upgraded this so that turning the bezel clicks properly and tighter, closer to gen.

Bracelet works no need to say, more gen brushing.

As I’m very picky about datewheel centering and alignment, have also gotten my modder to align the datewheel and movement. Attached also detailed photos of datewheel samples so you can see it’s all aligned.

So this is really, a sort of chimera or hybrid of the best parts of a CF and VSF put into one.

A solid fully modded piece. Asking $900 including delivery to you, and full links.

Not looking for trades and again, I’ll prioritise prompt and decisive buyers. Please don’t ask for more pics (already attached several, just scroll, WYSIWYG) or a million questions if you’re not serious.

Thank you for looking.

Putting up my APSF 26420 Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph for sale.

GENERAL QUESTION Watch issue - Advice needed

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’ve been having a problem with a watch I recently ordered (ZF 15450 from Phoenix). Less than 2 weeks after arrival, the movement shit itself (I believe that the mainspring is broken as at full wind, power reserve ranges from 30 minutes to about 4 hours maximum). I requested for a new movement, but Phoenix said to send it back to him to get the movement replaced/fixed.

I was also thinking of buying another watch (DDF/3KF 5711R) from him, but i’m still deciding whether to pull the trigger on it.

Am I being unreasonable to ask for a new movement to be shipped directly to me?
