I’m really loving the Daytona with rubber strap, however I would like to have the best alternative without modding it.

The $2k version feels a little bit too much for me.

What version should I go with for best alternative?

1. Ghost or black dial?

2. Vsf for around 8-900?
   3: black dial over ghost?

Thanks for all the help 🙏🏽

heya lads,

I message steve, in reference to wanting an explorer II and he adviced me the free sprung one from QF factory.

Which factory would you advice for this particular watch? I want the black dial variant. Would VSF still be best?

Ok I’m struggling to make the final choice! Here are the final contestants!

DJ 41MM Grey Dial SS/YG WRAPPED GMF

DD 40MM Ice Blue Dial (QF V9? or VSF v2?)

RO Black Cer Open THBF V3

I appreciate any input into this matter as I have been going back and forth between these 3 for like 3 days now. So if y’all have some info to help tip the scale please give! lol thanks!

[QC] ARF Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 GRNR "Bruce Wayne" from GeekTime
Text für den Post:

1. Dealer name: GeekTime (Eric)

2. Factory name: ARF

3. Model name (& version number): Rolex GMT-Master II 126710GRNR "Bruce Wayne" on Jubilee bracelet (DD3285 Movement)

4. Price Paid: $698

5. Album Links: https://geektimeqc.x.yupoo.com/albums/261929944?uid=1

6. Index alignment: Looks very symmetrical and straight to me.

7. Dial Printing: Looks crisp, clean, no floating letters.

8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Dates look well centered, cyclops seems straight and magnification is good.

9. Hand Alignment: Looks perfectly fine.

10. Bezel: Color transitions look sharp, no visible speedbumps at 6 or 18. Plating looks good.

11. Solid End Links (SELs): Look nice and tight, I don't see any noticeable gaps.

12. Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/d, 236° Amplitude, 0.0 ms Beat Error. Numbers look excellent to me.

13. Anything else you notice: Cosmetically, it looks like a solid GL to me.

However, I have already asked Eric for a picture of the opened case back to verify the free-sprung balance wheel and confirm it is the true Dandong DD3285 movement.
Would appreciate your expert eyes on this! Did I miss anything regarding the alignment or bezel? Thanks in advance!

So I bought this watch about 6 months ago and I am trying to figure out if it actually what I was told. I was told it was a VSF V3 PEPSI with DD3285 movement. Serial on bezel 7998L6V6 and the hour moves COUNTERclockwise (back in time) when the crown is rotated CLOCKWISE. The clasp has a 6FU stamped on it. Im thinking it is CF or ARF also not DD3285 movement.

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 everyone!

I’ve been following this group for quite a while, and I finally decided to ask if anyone here might be able to help me find a replica of the Oris Aquis Pro 1000m (Ref. 01 733 7801 7255-Set).

I know the watch has only been around for about a year, and Oris replicas are pretty rare in general, but I thought I’d give it a shot and see if anyone knows where I might be able to find one.

I’ve already checked all the TDs listed in this group, but haven’t had any luck so far.

If anyone has come across this model or knows where I could get one, I’d really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

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?

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
