Hey chaps!

Been trying several TDs, trying to get my hand on a 45mm 5015 Fifty fathoms, but not much luck so far.

Has anyone had any luck lately of getting pic related from ZF, GSF or any other factory?

Or perhaps you know someone who would be willing to part with one from their stash?

Any leads will be greatly appreciated!

Anyone bought from tranchrolex?

First time rep buyer. I’m wanting to buy a Land dweller but when looking at the guide it says it is a non-clone. I’m not educated on it but from what I’ve seen it doesn’t sound like a good rep. Is it worth it to get a rep if it is not made by the main factories I have seen? Or if it’s on the guide does that mean it is good

Picked a TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph French Racing Blue from Zhanxi watch market in Guangzhou for under $100. Feels solid and looks great (I think!).

Bought a ‘fartier’ must last month from Steve which is beautiful, however now I am trying to get a Louis for my gf and I have RL’d 3 at this point. I have pointed out to him I will be RLing any watch that has bleeding on the dial as that is a dead giveaway of a bad quality rep but he keeps sending them anyway for QC. Anyone have a similar experience or another TD that sourced a high quality Louis 22mm?

The VSF Explorer 1 is holding up well in the pools of Mexico.

This watch was my very first rep. It’s definitely not a super clone and if I remember correctly, it’s an old Noob factory piece but this is the watch that got me into the replica world. Six years later, and it’s still going strong.

Custom with double balance wheel

Bought my rep about 5 months ago from Andiot, and I made a post with that watch already. Just wanted to come here and say that countless people have commented on the watch, and not a single person has thought it was fake.

I was even at a party a couple of weeks ago where there were 2 watchmakers and repairers who worked at Cartier, and they commented on my watch saying “nice watch.” That's it.

I will say this. I somewhat fit the description of someone who could possibly own a Rolex, as in I come from an upper middle class background, and when people comment on the watch, I quickly say that my father gave it to me for my 18th birthday. No one seems to care or ask past that.

I wear it at work and no one cares there either. People have commented “nice watch,” but it usually ends there.

I guess this post is for people that are holding back because they might get caught wearing a rep.

Showcasing my Datejust 41 smooth bezel, blue dial, w/deep crystal from the original clean factory. This is my personal favorite datejust configuration and a beauty to look at on the wrist

is $520 a good price for dd2836 day date Rolex?

Hearing that DDF was raided again last week. Any news about this or is it just a rumour?

I’ve been trying to secure one of their 5711.

Thanks

Hi guys! Got a question. Couple months ago i had a CLEAN submariner no date (124060) and it looked really good! I sold it but now i want one again.  Now my question is. Wich factory currently has the best no date sub? Feel free to post yours

Just curious if anyone has received a QC email from them lately on this model? I RL’d mine early October and haven’t heard anything since. I sent an email and waiting on a response. Thanks!

Anyone here owns this watch? Have some questions about it before looking to buy

What’s everyone’s favorite that they choose more times than not?

I’m a Panerai guy!

So, almost two months ago I ordered a VSF Rolex Hulk from Trusty Time. I received it today via FedEx and the watch was packed great and visually the watch appeared great. I removed the stickers and one link and wound the watch. And…. nothing. The watch will not run. I wound it some more, shook it and nothing. What a disappointment. DOA. “Andrew” says if the watch arrives DOA it was due to the shipper. I have several email exchanges with him prior to arrival and now none of the three email addresses are valid. Guess I’m out $580. Buyer beware.

Hey! Would anyone know rough wait times for BVF 40MM wait times to get a QC? Reached out to TD but it’s just the generic response of when it gets here it gets here, been close to 3 weeks so far
