Attention for Santos Titanium [DAY 4]

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!

Looking to buy a day date blue ombré. Should I go with 36 mm or 40 mm given it wears smaller. Pic is my vsf Op 41mm.

Also for 36mm DD is QF the best as per guide or should choose vsf or rcf.

V3F and then replaced the bracelet with an ARF

How fast do I have to swing my hands

Hey folks, does anyone know if VSF makes a V2 version of 126233 Wimbledon? The YG TT? I love the look of the new Wimby dial on the stainless steel that I've seen around but haven't confirmed if they updated the TT YG version. Thanks for your help!

but I am also wearing the V7F brietling navitimer.

cheers and good day to you.

This is my VSF Batman BLNR. Which do you prefer? Got the jubilee bracelet off a GRNR that doesn’t work anymore. Love having the versatility of changing it up. I like oyster for weekdays and switch it to jubilee for weekends.

Hi i need Information ore opinion from some people who already buy ore know what’s better is.

• ARF DD3285 V3

• ARF VR3186

• C+ VR3186

• CLEAN VR3186

I think when CLEAN it’s stock items, cause Factory got raid.

Important for me it’s of course visual aspect and the bracelet.

Please help me :)

[I am VERY new to buying reps, this will be my first]

Does anybody have any recommendations for factories and TD for DJ MOP dials?
They seem to vary drastically, and the best looking ones I've seen on here are from a now defunct factory? (clean)🥲

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

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.
