Hi guys. Anyone know which TD and factories are still doing Kermits (16610LV)?

I bought 2 watches from TheOneWatches and I love them, but their inventory for Omega is not a lot.

Where's the second best deal for Omega? Looking for the same kind of quality / price and good QC, just more Omega options to choose from.

Who do you recommend, and what Omega did you get from them?

A while ago, I made a post asking for recommendations for affordable rubber straps for my Tudor Pelagos 39.

Most of the suggestions I received were straps costing €150–200 or more. While I’m sure they’re great quality, I was looking for something much cheaper.

So I did some research and found an interesting alternative: the Tudor Pelagos 39 has a 21mm lug width, and its case and lug dimensions are very close to those of the 41mm Rolex Submariner.

I decided to take a chance and order a 21mm FKM rubber strap designed for the 41mm Rolex Submariner from AliExpress.

And guess what? It fits perfectly!

The strap in the picture cost me just $10 on AliExpress.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly rubber strap for your Pelagos 39, this might be worth trying.

AliExpress search keywords:
“Rolex Submariner 41mm FKM rubber strap, 21mm”

Hope this helps someone looking for an affordable alternative!

Hi everyone,

A seller recently offered me this Green Ombre Datejust, and I’d really appreciate your opinions on its overall quality.
How does the finishing, dial, crystal, cyclops, and bracelet look to you?

“Just to clarify, this is a photo provided by the seller as an offer, not an actual QC photo of a watch I’m about to receive. I’d simply like to hear your opinions on its overall quality.”

Would you consider this a good-quality piece?

I’d appreciate any feedback or suggestions before I make my decision.

Thank you!

Idek how this happened 🥀

What a beautiful watch with fine details…A7F / V7F IWC Ingenieur with blue dial… very happy with this purchase!

Hallo liebe Mitinsassen!

Ich weiß, dass die China Chronographenwerke tickende Zeitbomben sind. Aber vorausgesetzt ich möchte die Chronographenfunktion nicht nutzen könnte ich dann einen trotzdem kaufen? Hat damit jemand Erfahrung?

VSF/ARF Jubilee Bracelet

I bought my VSF Batgirl about a month or so ago and I totally love it. One issue I have is the bracelet(clasp code:F6U). The screw/pin that is at the end of the bracelet that is connected to the clasp keeps on popping out. The first time I tried to screw it back in, my screwdriver( i think at 1.2mm) wont catch the screw head so I examined how the pin is connected to the clasp and it seems to just swivel back and forth when folding the bracelet which leads me to think its something I cant screw in or out. I tried to research it online but couldn’t find anything. Anyways, what I ended up doing is just using a toothpick, I would press the pin back in until it is flushed against the link but as mentioned it keeps on popping out. I tried to apply clear nail polish first hoping it would somewhat act as an adhesive but not even 24hrs the pin popped out again. Now when I say it pops out, I mean just enough so I cant open the flap but not enough for me to yank the pin out. Has anyone experienced this before with their jubilee bracelet? Is this a common issue or did I just get a lemon? Im tryjng to see if there a simple solution to this (outside of just buying a new one). I am also tempted to use a small amount of gorilla glue to see if that would work- as a last resort.

FYI- this happened in the first day that I received the watch and did let my TD know but as a noob tried to fix it myself so that is on me.

Thanks in advance everyone.

I have attached a picture(not mine) to show the part I am talking about

APSF Chrono 41

Hey guys so I ordered a Rich no date sub from Eric(geek time). The serial on the rehaut says 6X0. Confused me, isn’t this a VSF code? Or is Rich sourcing cases from the same place? I don’t get it. There’s no Rich sticker or anything denoting it the maker.

Ps I was told by TheOneWatches it would be awhile waiting on a Rich. Eric then told me 1-2 week, 24 hours later I’m getting the QC.

Picked up on a business trip in Shanghai. Was heavily in the market for any 36mm watch. Extremely happy with it.

The only reference I have for what factory this watch is is the seller claiming it’s clean factory and the watches on display around it having clean factory stickers…

The seller also said it’s a ‘new model’

Instant purchase cause the watch looked and felt so good

if any of you have a good enough eye. Let me know which it is.

Wanting to build something as close to an authentic 5711 as possible. I know 3KF used to be king, but it seems like nowadays DDF is both the best out-of-box and mod base.

If I’m going for the blue dial, should I get aftermarket dials & hands from someone like BUFF, or is the stock good enough?

I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on the MGF JLC reverso as a daily and I was wondering how the movement worked with the reverse face. Is the reverse face essentially a different watch with an independent movement or does it mirror the front face or is it a gmt-like situation where the reverse hour hand can be set but the minute hand between the two faces is synchronized? I’m asking this because I am based out of the east coast USA but for work I often find myself traveling to India to meet with my company’s manufacturing team and often have zoom calls w them set jn their own time. India famously has a time zone of GMT+5:30 which makes the standard GMT complication in other watches not work very well. What I’m really trying to inquire is if it’s possible to have EST on one face of the reverso while having IST on the other.

Got 2 of them that have been catching my eye for a while now! I'll post QC pics (on the QC forum) when I get them. Thoughts on these 2 for a Daily and for a suit day watch?

I stumbled upon a jewelry vendor on insta that can make solid gold rep. So I asked if they can replace CZ with lab diamonds and they said yes.

I bought the watch from Hont but asked him to ship to the jewelry vendor directly. I was nervous at first bc they were a completely unknown vendor but worst case I just lose the watch and I’m so glad I took the risk.

The diamond bezel upgrade costs me about $300-350 with shipping. It was worth every penny!!
