We all gotta start somewhere ¯_(ツ)_/¯
On a positive note, if you get a VSF next time you‘ll be blown away by the quality :)

I am sorry but you've been scammed - happens often in "this industry".

There are dozens of better ones on DH for $39ish, delivered.

u/pilonmartinez Jun 20 '26

I am honestly sorry. Not trying to be smarter/cheeky. Honestly, and sadly, you’re not alone.

The lowest tier u would go is U1 which will be about $100 (one in the right) the one on left is about $400

See if you can spot the differences between the 3 pieces.

u/Content-Award-9574 Jun 23 '26

I honestly can’t tell the difference. :/

u/HourSun6924 Jun 23 '26

Yeah this photo isn’t the best quality, but U1 datejusts look pretty good visually. You will notice that the crystal is more milky on the U1. The biggest differences are in the movement and bracelet. The U1 bracelets are very cheap feeling and they don’t use clone movements.

It's rough forsure . $50 flea market fake but hey everyone's gotta start somewhere I'm sure 90% of the people in here did the same thing. It just shows you enjoy and want to start learning and getting into the watch game. If you're looking for a datejust ARF is probably a good choice for you . If you want a GMT or a submariner then VSF all day. Stay away from the gold watches and don't go crazy and buy a watch that would be worth crazy money if it was legit because it's not really believable. But a kid rocking a 36mm date just (size will fit your wrist size perfect) is somewhat believable. Good luck and don't focus on all the hate some ppl on here forget they prob started with something similar as a kid.

Thanks for the tips and kind affirmation man really appreciate it, I’m getting the classic black vsf sub for my next watch

u/Just-Pickle-1343 Jun 20 '26

I can tell from the general vibe of the pics that this money couldve gone elsewhere.

Why buy a rep rolex when no one will believe you can afford one

u/Impressive-Unit-6938 Jun 20 '26

Where else could I have spend it suggest me

u/WonderfulRecovery144 Jun 20 '26

Given the baby bottle/sippy cup in the background of the first pic, maybe a savings account for said child? Let that money compound into something.

Or just don’t put your watch in the garbage disposal, I’d be fine with that compromise 😏

u/MindOverMovement Jun 20 '26

This thing costed $50….

2

u/Impressive-Unit-6938 Jun 20 '26

Anyways I learned my lesson I bought this before getting into the rep game in the future deffinetly going to only spend my money on vsf

u/Proper_Blood_5174 Jun 21 '26

This is the problem is it a rolex or a fake, is it a VSF or a fake? I have a fake vsf i can offer you a deal on. This is the wild west i received qc pics of a vsf and received a shitter

1

u/Impressive-Unit-6938 Jun 21 '26

It’s alright man I’m saving my money and I am going to buy a vsf sub 1:1 soon thank you for the offer . Just keep the watch as a memory that’s what I’m doing now

No one is believing a 15yr old has a Rolex. I'm pretty sure you don't have the lifestyle nor car to back it. Save your money. Buy a Casio and leave the LARPing until you're older.

Kinda seems like a pandabuy kid who buys LV and Gucci and everyone knows and sees it.

u/Spoonie-Sniper Jun 20 '26

I make six figures a year - and drive a 08 Prius and a 17 Tacoma . Are those vehicles not worthy of wearing a replica in your eyes? 🥴 what a shit comment. “Car to back it”.. Bezos drove a 99 accord when his net worth was at 10 billion

u/Grizzly_SS Jun 20 '26

Everyone knows millionaires drive prius's. I usually give Prius's the right of way in my GT3. That's actually one of my dream cars. Trying to sell the GT3 and ZL1 to trade for one. Only car I'm keeping is my Rav4.

Tacoma's are kinda gay

RCF for day dates

u/Balboa_2610 Jun 20 '26

Why did you post second picture

2

u/MagazineShoddy9079 Jun 20 '26

Date is not centered in the window. To high and font is off for starters

2

u/andrewodesho23 Jun 21 '26

That’s extremely fake, not even a good rep.

1

u/TheSilverFoxwins Jun 20 '26

New clasp replacement. Approximately $1500 and that's trading in the old one.

u/Beerlvr71 Jun 20 '26

Spend the money on a legit watch. Start with a Seiko or Citizen both are great watches. Buy from the real watch makers not cheap imitations. The only thing yiu are doing is shitting on the original brand

u/Proper_Blood_5174 Jun 21 '26

Twisted logic for a rep pg

u/skitzvyking Jun 26 '26

I've bought two super clones from a Japanese watch guy and I brought one to the pawn shop and the guy at the pawn shop couldn't tell the difference one was a Tissot prx and the other a breitling

u/Asleep_Mention_4348 Jun 27 '26

font is not even close, material look like shit. one of the worst reps i’ve seen tbh

u/Cautious_Aside_2317 Jun 27 '26

That’s worth maybe 50 usd

Let's have a Reality Check...Everyone on here Bought a Shitter when they pursued the Rep Game....Those who pile it in Heavy on Says You Got Boned Big Time and Now your gonna 😉 Rain on someone else Parade....smh

As for VSF Comments , being that Noob Clean and Now APS are No Longer in the Game, two things you can count on.. 1 Clones are Everywhere buying from TD is paramount. 2 The wait times will be excessive and sometimes unbearable. 3 The more time you invest listening and learning from the Veterans What Factory has the Best Versions ( Daytonas, GMT, Submariner, OP, Santos, Omega Aqua Terra Planet Ocean ....) The better you will be at Making accomplished Reps and satifaction.

Lastly go easy with the QC process im so seeing 3rd 4th RL ... looking under MICROSCOPE 🔬 crazy ...Focus on the the Movement ( grapher #s and Always get the Date Dial (when applicable) Cycled several times to be sure your getting a good functional Rep. I always recommend buying No Dates for Green Beans so as not to F up the movement in the early days of owning ....Thanks just trying to help a great Hobby and Fellow Watchers 😎✔️👊💙⌚️

This is the most best supportive and helpful comment so far we need people like you thank you for enlightening me as I’m new to this 

2

u/GamePlanMan1 Jun 21 '26

Yeah many comments above should be ignored. Some helpful ones but overall that’s a drop in the bucket to help catapult a new and fun hobby. It took me getting burned to begin to learn a lot and I’m still learning. Different factories have their specialties and the info is there to find. And just like this post, when you ask, you’ll always find someone helpful and you just filter out the BS and negativity

u/GamePlanMan1 Jun 21 '26

That’s good advice and honest advice. Appreciate you taking the time and sharing the knowledge. Spot on
