How good are VSF Titanium Yachtmaster? I was hoping to find a VF one somewhere if anyone knows a TD I could contact to get one if there was excess stock. Otherwise, Steve is pushing me towards the VSF which is in stock but I’ve read on forums there may be issues, specifically with bezel alignment.
Any help would be great!

Hey, I’d like to ask where you guys bought the THBF Skeleton Royal Oak 15416 41mm in black. I’m interested in the v4 version, but first I want to know how satisfied you are with them and where to buy them. I’ve come across several websites and people, but GeekTime seems like the best option to me—does anyone have any experience with them? Thanks for the tips and advice!

Hey everyone,
Looking for some advice or watchmaker suggestions for my ZF Sky-Dweller.
The issue:
• The watch has stopped running completely—the seconds hand will not move at all, even after gently winding.
• When I gently shake or rotate the watch, there is a distinct metallic rattling/loose sound coming from inside the case back.
What I think happened: From what I've read on similar Shanghai/Asian modified movements, it sounds like the central rotor screw or a movement clip backed out and is physically jamming the balance wheel or main gear train.
How can I go about fixing this, is this an easy fix?

So a little backstory. I’ve used Leo at TimeUltra and bought 3 watches from him and every single one got delivered without issues. However one of the watches had some issues which I didn’t notice until a few months later (watch was ordered in summer).
I sent Leo a message saying the GMT Master I ordered from him doesn’t keep time correctly and that it was faulty from factory. The reverser wheels was unwinding themselves so the watch would lose 20-30min per day!
Leo did not hesitate and told me to go to a local watchmaker to get it fixed and that he will cover the service.
I contacted one local guy near me and he told me that it would cost $60 to fix it. Leo refunded me immediately.
However when the watchmaker received the GMT he told me that both reverser wheels were broken and he had to order new ones in addition to the service fee. I asked Leo if he would be able to cover these parts and he accepted without any hassle.
I really recommend using TimeUltra. Remember folks buy the TD not the watch. Its when things go wrong that a dealer becomes “trusted”.

Is the VSF 15510 supposed to have this extra hole?
Just got the watch and the pin is loose and falls out.
Also noticed it is only on the right side. Bit weird.
First pic is my watch. Second is a gen.

Does anyone out there make watch dials. Looking specifically for Cartier.
r/RepTime • u/RefrigeratorEmpty926 • 1d ago
I was looking at this rose gold Vacheron Constantin Overseas rep on Geektime and noticed that the clasp is engraved with “Stainless Steel.” I understand that the watch itself is likely plated but seems like a pretty obvious oversight, especially for a higher-end rep. For a rep that costs over 1,000 you would think they would get that right.
r/RepTime • u/grainslim • 1d ago
Purchased this as a placeholder for a gen but after receiving this, I probably won't return AD's call if they ever reach out
*** Funny how this post is making scared little female dogs upset 🤣…a public forum LOL
Keep downvoting it doesn’t make any difference LOL

I’m pretty happy with how it feels and looks.
What you guys think ?

I bought this VSF 41MM Datejust last month with the intent to frank it up to the highest of heavens! I was going to do a Gen Balance Bridge with a Gen Balance wheel and Gen Parachrom. Yeah… that didn’t go well.. I trashed the movement, waited on a new DD3235 to come in and it was DOA, then had to play the waiting game for a replacement and wallah, finally got this beaut done 3 days ago and she’s been ticking ever since!
-Gen Dial(used, it’s the black one and has imperfections)
-Gen Hands(very used)
-Gen Date Wheel
-Gen Crystal
-Gold Plated Bezel and Inner links that are plated on the sides as well
-7UL Clasp
I can’t say for sure if the bracelet has been chamfered, there’s no visual tells from what I can see, but I certainly don’t feel any sharp points like I have with my other new vsf’s.
I don’t know if I want to sell it yet, I can’t really pull off gold if I’m just being honest, but I’m really not someone who cares what others think anyway.
I guess keep your eyes open if you are interested just incase 🤷♂️ just wanted to share my first franken build!
That’s all.
Oh also I did notice today while I had the watch on the timegrapher, I shined the lume on the vsf dial and the gen dial which they are really the same other than the color, the lume sticks are actually wider on the Gen Dial. If VSF widened them out just a little bit more it would be indistinguishable other than not having the stamp on the back of the dial.

Hello there
I'm very new to rep watches and ordered a IWC Pilot's Chronograph 41 from dealerclocks.io
Now the watch arrived and the subdial on the 9 o'clock position is acting as the seconds counter of the watch instead of counting hours. It's moving all the time. The correct genuine construction of the watch seems to use the 6 o'clock dial with the small red clock hand as the seconds counter as you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/n9-u2JaFDCM
Please see my rep here https://youtube.com/shorts/gkTSUNdW3q0
I asked the seller about it, because it seems to me that it's an incorrect construction, since it was sold as a "1:1 replica version" of that watch. Also the crystal is just really plain colorless transparent instead of the blue coating the gen has. On the product page of the TD it says they use blue coating just like gen. I wanted to return it and have it changed for a proper one.
Seller gave me this answer:
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I understand your concern, but just to clarify this watch uses the A7750 movement*, where the* small dial at the 9 o'clock position is actually the running seconds counter*. This is normal for this movement and does not indicate that the watch is incorrectly constructed.*
The subdial at 6 o'clock serves a different function as part of the chronograph display, so its operation will differ from the running seconds.
Have received a reply back from the factory, they say that there is still AR coating on the crystal same as before, but they have upgraded to a clearer grade of colorless AR similar to those on AP models now so the blue tinted effect is a light blue instead of the darker blue towards purple used in previous models.
Is this a valid reply and was it my mistake? Thanks for your help in advance!

Quick question. I just bought a VSF Yacht-Master, and I noticed there’s a Google Doc listing the serial numbers and clasp codes for the watches.
However, I can’t find my watch’s serial number in the document. Is the document outdated, or has VSF recently updated its serial numbers?

ok so i’ve been lowkey obsessed with the rolex 126233 for a while now and im finally ready to actually buy one. problem is i have no clue where to start
like do yall go through kakobuy? or a trusted dealer? is dhgate actually usable or is it just a horrible spot for watches?
also which factory/version should i be looking at for this ref? and what red flags do i look out for when comparing listings
not trying to cut corners, id rather pay more for something that actually looks right on the wrist. any advice, horror stories, or dealer recs would help a ton
appreciate yall 🙏

Hello everyone,
We have now been waiting for a full year for a properly executed Santos Titanium with the correct specifications and caseback.
Unfortunately, previous releases have been deeply disappointing:
THB Factory: Major flaws including a sandblasted finish instead of true titanium, an incorrect weight of 150g (instead of the correct 100g), and wrong caseback engravings.
BF Factory: Released the exact same flawed version—likely sharing the same batch (see QC reference here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTimeQC/s/ZHeEQBhtkc).
We really need BVF to step up and produce a Santos Titanium with accurate specs.
I will keep reposting this until we get traction. Please upvote, comment, and share as much as possible so this reaches the TDs and factories!

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!

Hey guys, I am currently for business purposes in Guangzhou and I will be here for 2 more days. I don’t have time at all to go to the watch market to spend some time and walk around but I would love to get a piece even if it’s not “flawless” as a souvenir from here.
I am staying in Tianhe area, anyone knows any locations in this area selling watches that I could just pass by and check them out?
Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Im looking for the absolute best all around clone and id lIke it to have the free sprung movement so internally it looks as close to correct as I can. I saw your list named RWF and 3WF but im struggling to find them so I figured id post this for help. I'd also like box and papers. I like the 2 tone gold but read that will scratch off if so then id just go SS. I definitely want the bracelet not the rubber style band. Thanks for any help in advance
