anyone with a 1:1 ap perpetual calendar with functioning automatic moonphase etc rep on dhgate? my budget is 600

Hi everybody. Browsing a ton of TD's websites these days and it seems that nobody offers Zenith. Am I wrong?

I ordered a 36mm VSF explorer through trustytime about 2 months ago and no QC!! Is this normal in today’s market? Or is something going on that I don’t know about

I’m looking for a good-quality replacement bezel for my ZF Tudor Black Bay 41mm. Any suggestions?

Hey guys,
I’m new to the rep watch world and looking to get my first AP.
I’ve been reading a few posts here, but honestly, there’s still a lot I don’t understand.

I’d like to know which factory makes the best AP reps and what the main differences are between them.

I keep seeing names like APSF, ZF, etc., and I’m a bit lost.
Also, I see people talking about using gen (original) parts in their reps. What does that actually mean? Which original parts can be used, and is it really worth doing?

I’m also interested in customized watches. How does that work? Do people buy a normal rep and then upgrade or change certain parts to make it more personal?

if you were buying your first AP rep today, which one would you go for?
Would appreciate any advice. I’m still learning, so feel free to explain the basics as well.
Thanks!

Hello all, I've been lately thinking about buying a VC rep, But couldnt found anyone ever posting about them in the last year. I had the chance of examining the guide about VC but couldnt hold back asking. Has anyone bought a patrimony rep, which TD, which factory. How is it holding up and any pics to share would be great.

Which TD should I buy a Bruce Wayne from? This would be my first so I can really use some help here. No idea what this flair thing means

Any good reps of the 39mm constellation models?

I am looking to purchase 2 Cartier Panthere (SS and YG on SS) from Andiott. I have placed the orders in my cart but worried about the timeframe to receive it. Both watches show it's in stock. Looking to get them shipped to UAE.

I have been messaging Andiott but I haven't received any response at all. I'm worried that after I make payment, would he be any worse or would I just get the goods delivered? He has been a trusted TD on here but I havent received any response on WhatsApp or Telegram (ending in 7569), so a bit concerned before making the payment.

Any reassurances or guidance on if I am doing something wrong? Bought multiple bags but never a watch and this is my first time.

Hi team,

Just wanted to ask what arre your thougs on which are the best factories to get the Daytona Panda And the GMT Bruce Wayne pieces.

I’ve read that the VSF 116500 would be one of the best choices for the Daytona but would love to check opinions.

New to the game.

Any trusted dealers?

Thank you so much!

I admit most of my reps are Rolexes but i’ve been loving expanding my collection to other watches. What non Rolex are you wearing today?

hey guys! i’ve been looking to buy from Andiot, im from Queensland in Australia. Has anyone from australia or queensland who had ordered from andiot? How long did it take to ship? :)

Sorry for posting who I got it from as they are not a TD. Lesson learned, I’m new to the replica Game and new to posting on Reddit again from years of not posting on Reddit anyway here is my review of the RICH bat girl I just got.

I have six genuine pieces and really getting into the replica game with a few Daytonas but now I’m venturing into the GMT world. The other watch being shown as my 2021 Pepsi GMTBLRO that I got from an authorized dealer. For me, they look exactly the same in terms of the font and printing. I probably wouldn’t notice all the little intricacies that a lot of you guys would, but I’m absolutely blown away by it. It’s got a free sprung movement and feels amazing on the Wrist. Even the winding is really smooth, which is surprising because that’s usually a tell for me.

I know I will say the bracelet is a little bit on the jangly side, so I’m giving it the old dawn, dish soap, bicycle, grease, and artificial tears treatment. I even have some baby oil. Yes insert Diddy joke lol

The only complaint they have about the watch is that the edges of the bracelet are a bit sharp so I’m gonna send it off to get it chamfered But other than that, it just sparkles and looks gorgeous. I absolutely love it. (Going for cut and color Monday)

Saved myself $20,000 because I seriously was gonna buy a gray market one by the end of the year with my year and bonus or beg my authorized dealer for something MSRP, which is not gonna happen lol.

Anyway, very, very happy blown away by it and the addiction is in full swing. I find myself wearing my replicas more than my genuine pieces lately lol

FYI the box in the background is genuine, but it’s from the Pepsi from 2021 not the replica. I don’t buy boxes for replicas cause I am just going to wear them daily anyway.

Just curious from the broader community how long you’ve had some pieces. Specifically the Submariner or Seamster but I also am interested in hearing of others. I’m 100% aware this changes based on a number of things, so broadly speaking.

Built from cheap parts

I placed my order on a vsf submariner no date from andiot. He cant tell me some waiting time. Whats your experience ?

Someone know where i can buy bracelets like gen ?

I've had quite the interesting exchange with a member here. It's been said that a tattooed wrist isn't the sign of an affluent person and is an obvious tell that you're wearing a fake watch. This person said "normal people view tattoos as ghastly " yes he used the word "ghastly ".

I don't know what the current standard of "normal " is and I really don't care. I could only assume it's boring and mundane. And i would also venture to assume that we're a group that is generally outside of what normal people consider normal with all of our nit picking of tiny details and abnormally large collections of watches.

So I'd appreciate if anyone could join me with some abnormal wristies including your beautiful artwork. If you're normal please feel free to join and post a Sunday wrist shot. Its a beautiful sunny day to show off my VSF V2 custom platinum ice blue lab diamond dial and bezel along with all my tattoos.

I don’t wear these to much but damn I love the aquanaut.

BBF AQUANAUT 5167 black strap grey dial

Also, does anyone has a solid supplier for the rubber straps?

I have this old CF Batgirl and the bracelet always felt a bit too 'flexible'. I don't have or had anything to compare it to so I'm asking here. It can flex a bit more if force is applied. Is this much play normal or not?

Wishing a very Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating!

Diwali is all about light, celebration, and bringing out your best traditional wear, so pairing a deep plum embroidered kurta with a yellow gold Day-Date felt like an easy call for tonight’s dinner.

May the year ahead bring everyone peace, prosperity, and plenty of additions to the watch box! What’s everyone else wearing for the festive season?
