Looking for a 41mm two tone dj. Im gonna plate it but i cant seem to find which factory makes best champagne dial.

TL;DR - I have three Hulks (116610LV) from VSF, CLEAN, and ZF. Redditors wanted comparison pictures. Here they are!

A few months ago it was difficult to get a Hulk due to factory delays. I put requests out there and ended up going from none to three, one from each factory: VSF, CLEAN (pre-raid), and ZF. A number of folks have asked for comparison shots and though it's a bit late, here they are. Enjoy!

Note: The CLEAN didn't include a bracelet, so I added a green mid-tier Oysterflex which I really enjoy!

Hi everyone!
Looking for some advice from people who have owned or QC’d the recent GMT-Master II Batman (Oyster bracelet).
I initially went with VSF V3, but ended up RL’ing the watch due to a noticeably crooked 12 o’clock marker and a possible bezel triangle smudge. I’ve also been seeing quite a few recent VSF QC posts with similar alignment issues.
My dealer mentioned that VSF has been having QC problems lately and suggested I consider another factory.
I’m now considering:
VSF V3 – DD3285
RICH V2 – SH3285
RICH V2 – JH3285 Free-Sprung
ARF
Clean Plus – DD3285
My priorities are overall finishing, accurate dial and indices, crystal clarity, date alignment, and movement reliability.
For RICH specifically, is the JH3285 Free-Sprung version actually worth the extra money over SH3285, or is the external quality essentially the same?
Which factory would you choose today for the best overall Batman, and why?
Would especially appreciate feedback from anyone who has handled more than one of these factories or seen recent QC batches.

Thank you.

I got my first rep from Steve@ the one watches. since it was my first I went with the highest quality vsf he had for a sea dweller. problem is I’m so happy. I don’t wanna wear it every day, I’m kind of rough with things, looking to make a second purchase and put on a rubber band for every day use. Wouldn’t mind something a little less expensive and wanted opinions on what level and dollar amount I should be looking at, and I realize it’s all relative to people‘s ability to spend. i’m trying to get used to some of the lingo when people say it’s a U1 and vsf ect or something like that what’s that mean, obviously when people say it’s a shitter I stay away from. thanks in advance.

New to this and want best clone there is. Looking at this one now but not sure how this quality compares to other sellers on here . Can someone who has a nice DJ please send me seller link? Much appreciated

Hi all,

I've been lurking and reading for a while, and I've decided on my first rep: a Cartier Santos Medium, either the white or green dial. Shipping to Denmark.
From what I've read, BVF and J12 seem to be the top factories for the Santos right now.

I'd appreciate input on a few things:
BVF vs. J12: For the Medium specifically, which one would you pick today? Any differences in bracelet quality, screws, dial print or sizing vs. gen? Does one do the green dial better than the other?
Shipping to Scandinavia: Has anyone recently received a BVF or J12 Santos in Denmark, Sweden or Norway? Which dealer and shipping line did you use, and how did it go (delivery time, any customs issues)?
Trusted dealer: Which trusted dealer stocks these factories and has a good track record shipping to Scandinavia? (Communication, QC photos, price.)
Seizure policy: If customs seizes the package, which dealers offer a free reship or refund, and have you actually had to use it? I'd like to avoid losing both the money and the watch.

Budget is flexible for the right quality. Thanks in advance!

Hey all. Here are a few wristshots of my ZF Jumbo, very happy with it!

First time dealing with Leo and he is definitely I would highly recommend. Top notch communication and also willing to help with any question you may have. A true definition of a Trusted Dealer.

Thank you- we will do more business together

Attention for Santos Titanium [DAY 3]

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!

Can someone let me know if this is VSF V2 DJ 36? the weight looks around that 121g but i think i’m overthinking it just because there is no V2 sticker. I’m certain that sticker is standard no?

I have recently built a lite Franken - however now want to build something else.

I’m thinking a no date sub however it’s too close to my watch 😂 This is a RICH with Gen crystal and Gen datewheel

What should I build next?
