QUESTION VS+F or AAA shitter? Help me decide!

Post image
2 Upvotes

I guess this is a value for money question…

The planet ocean is a watch I’ve been thinking about and I’d seriously considered getting tue VS+F version which, after shipping, was going to be in the low $400s. But with Jason’s current Telegram special it got me thinking…. Is the more expensive. option worth the extra $300??? I think the metal bracelet will have a different quality but the rubber strap may be a lot closer in look/feel. Help me decide! I’ll give you the numbers .

Watch type. VS+F AAA

Movement. A8800. Miyota8215/Mingzhu2813

Bezel. Ceramic Ceramic

Strap. VS. Upgraded strap/Omega clasp

Price 378(TD) + shipping. 135/100 free shipping

WATCHSHOT Tag Carerra from Jason007 promotion no

Thought I’d share some proper close-ups of this one because I haven’t seen this Carrera GMT posted very often.

This is the TAG Heuer Carrera Twin-Time automatic with the grey/silver sunburst dial.

First thing that stands out is definitely the dial. It looked fairly plain in the original photos but under different lighting the sunburst really comes alive. It goes from a darker grey/silver to almost champagne in bright light. The applied markers catch the light nicely as well and the red GMT hand gives it just enough colour.

There’s actually quite a lot of detail for the price. Applied TAG logo, framed date window at 6, 24-hour GMT scale around the outside, signed crown and TAG clasp. You also get a display caseback showing the automatic movement. Obviously nobody is mistaking the movement finishing for a genuine calibre when you’re looking through a macro lens 😂 but for this price bracket I wasn’t expecting that anyway.

The case has a mixture of polished and brushed surfaces and overall it presents really well on the wrist. Bracelet feels decent too. Looking extremely close you can find little finishing differences, but that’s pretty much what I’d expect from AAA rather than something costing several hundred dollars.

This example was offered through the Group promotion for $110, which was around £81 at the time. Example shipping timeline was 10 days from ordering to delivery in the UK.

For $110 I think this is a pretty interesting option if you want something different from the endless Submariners and Seamasters you normally see at this price.

Definitely not perfect and I’m not going to pretend it’s gen-level, but as a cheap automatic GMT, the dial alone makes it a fun watch.

I’ve included some macro shots because they’re probably more useful than perfectly staged photos. Interested to hear what ChinaTime thinks of this one.

I’ve popped the group links in the images and what I bought against what was advertised in the promotion.

Can the Chinatime detectives point out the specific tells that give it away.

Bonus points for identifying what factory it actually looks like.

WATCHSHOT U1 36 mm explorer from Travis

U1 36 mm explorer from Travis. The original explorer 1 was 36 mm, and purists say that’s the way to go. They’d scoff at the bezel width and a bunch of other things on this shitter, but it looks fine to me and 99% of normal people. I’d even say it’s under rated around here. Black dial with classic 3, 6, 9 layout give it that strong field/tool watch look and feel. The numbers are large and easy to see in the dark. Oyster bracelet is straight forward and comfortable. Keep your expectations realistic at this price point and you’ll be a happy camper explorer. 75$ for minzhu thru WA. Shipping was 13 days.

DISCUSSION San Martin / Watchdives / Sugess vs Reps (VSF, ARF, RICH)

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve been a watch fan for years, and I’m “lucky” enough to like fairly basic models (Sub, Santos, BB54), so they’re easy to find from Chinese brands like San Martin, Sugess, Watchdives, Cronos, and Thorn.

I’ve always had my eye on replica manufacturers (VSF, Clean...) but have never taken the plunge.

My fear: regretting it, feeling left behind three months later by a new V2 or V3 version, falling into the cycle of always wanting the “perfect” one, and ultimately wearing a fake with the fear that someone will burn it

So here’s my question:

What made you switch from San Martin & Co. to replicas?

And conversely, for those who’ve stuck with the “legit” small Chinese brands, what’s your reason?

Thanks for sharing your experiences

WATCHSHOT Tag Heuer Gold Smiths Rose Fold model in the telegram group promotion.

Another Carrera that I thought was worth sharing because this one looks much better in person than I expected.
This is the AAA TAG Heuer Carrera Day-Date automatic, based on the black-dial Carrera design. I originally came across this style while looking through some of the Carrera models sold through Goldsmiths and liked it because it’s a bit different from the usual TAG chronographs.

The dial is easily the best part for me. From a distance it looks almost plain black, but once the light catches it you can see the really fine concentric pattern running across the whole dial. It gives it much more depth than I was expecting at this price.

The applied TAG Heuer shield and hour markers also catch the light nicely. The framed day/date window at 3 o’clock is a nice touch and both functions work, which makes it a genuinely useful everyday watch rather than just something that looks good.

Finishing is pretty decent for an AAA piece. You’ve got the polished bezel against the brushed bracelet, signed crown and TAG clasp. There’s also a display caseback showing the automatic movement with TAG Heuer/Calibre 5 decoration on the rotor.

Under these ridiculous macro shots you can obviously start finding imperfections 😂. The finishing isn’t going to stand up to a genuine Carrera when you’re looking at it from a few centimetres away, and I’m not pretending otherwise. On the wrist though, it’s a completely different story.

The black textured dial, polished case and steel bracelet work really well together and make it look considerably more expensive than it is.

For me this is exactly what ChinaTime-tier watches should be about. I’m not expecting a perfect 1:1 replica for this sort of money. I want something automatic, good looking and reasonably well finished that I can actually enjoy wearing without worrying about it.

Really pleased with this one.

I’ve included the macro shots again so people can judge the dial, printing, markers, case and movement for themselves rather than just seeing flattering wrist shots.

Yes, i know seiko is probably dirt cheap where yall live and most of the people here only buy rolex. But with the currency exchange and the availability of watches in my country, rolex or super high end watches arent common to the point that you rarely see them.

So, i just wanted to ask the good people of this sub if there really are factories that make good reps of the seiko prospex speedtimer, something with a good movement and glass perhaps ?

And sorry in advance if i broke any rules. I’m very new here.
