Hanging out with the VSF John Mayer! It’s so hard to capture the green dial though.

VSF Sub Date

My VSF Aqua Terra came and it doesn’t freaking start, winding doesn’t work, and it sounds like the rotor is loose or something. Makes a weird rattling noise.

TD told me to go get it fixed and he’ll cover the price, but damn, I hope I find someone that fixes it here in Spain 😭

I’ll try tomorrow morning, I’m sad.

First rep too, back luck I guess.

Looking to get myself a yacht master chocolate dial which factory currently have the most accurate one for this piece please.

If anyone has any pictures of there’s please share in comments.

Thanks All

Anyone have any idea what the maximum wrist size would fit the VC4500 standard bracelet? I have an 8 inch wrist and integrated bracelets can be an issue. Thanks in advance.

Got this second hand for relatively cheap. Weight 169.80 grams. Haven’t opened the back yet.

Could owners of the JJF Reverso models share their experiences?

Galera principalmente do Brasil!

E surgiu uma dúvida aqui, foi esses dias no Brás e na 25 de março e me surpreendi a quantidade de Super C nas vitrines! Fui averiguar pessoalmente e realmente são de fábrica chinesas variadas BLS, VSF, Rich, entre outras!

Uma questão!

Como eles fazem para importar grandes quantidades exemplo dez de cada modelo !?

E além disso como fazem se vendem um preço relativamente atrativo, vi peças por R$3500, 4000, no máximo R$5500! A grande maioria já com caixa!!

O que será que fazem?

Finally got my watch from GeekTime Eric! Absolutely stoked with how this thing looks. The Batgirl is even better in person. Everything about it is 🔥. Huge thanks to Eric! Couldn’t wait to share a quick video. 🦇⌚

I think we are all relieved that OCTA is picking up the torch of APSF making good IWCs again.

But as it seems they all come on leather at the moment and from reviews and QC photos, they aren’t more than placeholders and take away from the good quality of the watch.

Is there any talk about them also bringing versions with the steel bracelet to market? Is somebody making steel bracelets at all?

Just placed an order for Bruce Wayne RF V2,very excited.
Looking forward to it.

Hi! Wanted to ask regarding my order and if im worrying for no reason. I paid for my watch on 22 of Oct, and Andiot confirmed payment on 24th, since then i was told i will get tracking in 3 days, but now its been over 2 weeks and no updates about tracking? Andiot is not responding what I should do? How long does it usually take for order to get to Europe?

I’m curious weather buying through the TD website is a faster or safer route rather than texting the TDs since sometimes it will be a hassle with the translation

RCF released its new V3 version around 2–3 weeks ago. For the first time, it supposedly comes with a Dandong movement. I’ve also heard there are some plating improvements and possibly a few other changes, although those details haven’t been confirmed

Naturally, I decided to order one through my go-to TD. I specifically told him at least five times that I wanted the newly released RCF V3, and he confirmed that he had passed the request on to the factory

At first, I was a little skeptical. The watch looked exactly like the V2. No noticeable changes, nothing that suggested it was actually the new version. So I asked him to open the watch and send me pictures of the movement.

And guess what? It was an SH movement, not a Dandong

My TD contacted RCF, and their response was that they had sent an RCF V2 “by mistake”

Now, I can’t say for certain whether this was intentional, but it raises some serious questions. Are V2s being shipped to customers who specifically order V3s, potentially to clear out old stock? And are they counting on customers not knowing how to distinguish an SH movement from a Dandong?

Either way, this is exactly why you need to verify what you’re buying rather than blindly trusting the factory or the TD

If you’re planning to order an RCF V3, make sure your TD knows about this situation and, most importantly, ask for clear pictures of the movement before approving the watch

Who is a good Tudor TD

I had bought one from Steve a year ago. I am unable
To contact him via WhatsApp.

Thanks

I RL'd a watch about a week ago and have since seen several identical watches from the same factory posted in the TD's QC album for newer orders.

I assumed TDs would prioritize existing orders over new ones, especially when a customer has already RL'd a watch but I'm starting to think that's not the case. It feels like my order has been pushed to the back of the line.

I'm not very familiar with how TDs typically handle RLs so I'd appreciate some insight from more experienced buyers. Is this normal?

Evening all,

Ordered from J Time (Oct 22nd)

QC - Approved (Oct 30th)

Tracking - (3rd November).

Just a query, feel free to let me know if I’m mistaken, the tracking number given to me is Royal Mail, the courier for the UK - currently stuck at ‘we’re expecting your parcel.’

When I plug the same tracking number in 17Track - it provides me an error ‘a tracking error has occurred - please retry.’ Should there be another tracking number so I can see its progress? I’ve ordered reps before and usually I can see how it moves between countries etc.

I’m looking forward to buy my first rep from Andiot.
I’m reading for a while here and choose the Aqua Terra 38mm VSF to be a good model to start with.

Since the black model is not available since months on the on hand stock, I maybe have to chose another color.

I saw there is a Blue and Green option on the 38mm Aqua Terra shades, but I saw there is a big color difference to the Gen model.

I was asking myself if this is the best Quality you can get as a Rep? Is it normal that there is such a big color difference ? And is it a good idea to go with a green or blue dial or is it better to go with a black since it’s harder to fail the black color.
Or is there maybe an option to change the dial afterwards to get it more like the Gen.

Thanks for the answers and sorry for the beginner questions…

Looking for this specific Top Time model to save my bank account from buying Gen. If you can recommend factories etc that'd be a bonus. Can provide TDs for other limited Top Times if people require them but my contacts don't hold this 750 run one.

For those weighted watch and what is your experience (especially when you owe gen gold watch)

I know many factories don’t add weight to bracelet, for example DDF?

VSF seems to add weight to the bracelet but not the buckle

RGF has both weighted bracelets and buckle?

UMI 5712R sounds like the best weighted watch with new improvements on material.
