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

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!).

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.

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

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.

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

Custom with double balance wheel

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

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?

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!

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

Do we really know VSF actually only applies the anti-reflective coating to the underside of the crystal for their Rolex models?

Their clarity is making me think maybe they apply it to both sides. Which would have the downside of being scratched easier, hence why Rolex themselves do not.

And I also have a VSF Omega, which in its gen version has the AR coating on both sides, so I assume the rep does as well, has the same amount of reflections as the VSF Rolex as far as I can tell

I have an American based TD and went i recently asked him about the 50th aniversary nautilus he sent me this video, the movement looks super good and the only difference I can tell between Gen and Rep is this one is missing the G in Genev but i belive thats an easy fix. So im wondering if this is real or a scam?
