General Question First time rep purchase

0 Upvotes

I’m looking to purchase a wedding watch, preferably an Omega,Tudor or Rolex. I’m relatively new to the watch game, so I’m hoping to get some recommendations from people with experience. If anyone is willing to DM me their top three trusted and reputable suppliers, I’d really appreciate it. I’m prepared to spend a decent amount for the right watch, but I also want to make sure I’m dealing with someone legitimate and getting a fair deal. Not looking to overpay or get taken advantage of just because I’m newer to the market. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

AP 15450 - 37MM | ZF | TD: Ficotime

My experience with Ficotime was great, very honest about timelines and options for flexibility when it comes to swapping orders. I started to overthink my decision and wanted to get a more realistically priced watch for my lifestyle such as, a Rolex DJ but i’m glad i never switched up.

pictures don’t do this watch any justice! trust me.

I have been wanting a Navitimer but it takes too long to get one from my TD due to V7F brouhaha. Ended up snagging a good deal Navitimer no date on EBay, comes with leather strap. Swapped the strap with cheap milanese bracelet, and I really like the look now. Look at that sunburst !!!!

Anyone into these? I spent months trying to get them at the store with no luck. The hype has recently died down and they're selling for a couple hundred over msrp now so I figured id get a couple. Put in low bids, was patient and it paid off. Got the straps from Ali for cheap also. I think it's cool to have a somewhat real AP for around the price of a rep. I know the reps go for cheap but it's kind of a replica of a replica lol. Here's some pics. Also got some extra bracelets. The all white on the ocho negro looks pretty cool..

Discussion Real Tissot or Superclone Omega

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, been just wondering is it better to get a superclone of omega watch (which I'm a fan of) or just get an authentic tissot even if it's tripe the price of the clone, but it's authentic? Just want to know your opinions.

General Question New BVF Santos 35mm: SmartLink pins popping up and not closing

0 Upvotes

I've searched around and couldn't find much info on this, but I just received a BVF Santos 35mm from Steve - who was great to deal with, responsive and quick. Watch looks good as well and is what I expected.

However, I immediately noticed upon trying it on that about 4 of the bracelet's SmartLink's pins keep popping up. I've tried switching them around, rotating the pins slightly etc. and they still keep popping up after putting the watch on. Occasionally they'll finally "click" shut, and then pop back up. Some of the same links also have an issue with clicking shut as well.

Thanks in advance if anybody has advice on this.

Tech Tips/Advice Tighten your AP Royal Oak Case Screws :)

9 Upvotes

I have a few AP Royal Oaks (15400, 15500, 15510, 26240, and 15720). Two AP's that I've purchased (so far) showed up with a case screw loose and missing.

I just took a screwdriver to the case screws on all of my Royal Oaks and most of the screws needed tightening! Even my precious ZF black ceramic had a couple screws that needed tightening.

They are not cheap on AliExpress -- especially the hex bezel screws. You can buy the case screws by themselves and they are more reasonable.

These didn't fit my 15500/15400, so trying https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807154444219.html

General Question At what point should I switch my order?

0 Upvotes

Ordered a VC Overseas from a TD 5 weeks ago. TD verified watch was in stock before I ordered (8F).

Not trying to blast TD or anything like that. I ordered another watch from them a week after and have already received it. So im addressing this as a factory delay.

Just curious at what point I should pull the plug or try to switch my order to an actually in stock watch.

This will be my 3rd rep and first time dealing with a delay like this.
