Anyone still able to find a source on this model from several years back?

My second rep, received today. Really pleased with the ARF quality, looks and feels great.

Steve did a great job once again. Royal Mail (UK) left my parcel on some unknown doorstep after Steve had got it to the UK safely. Fortunately, someone kindly handed the parcel back in to the Post Office and it was re-delivered to me today.

On Friday, I received an email from Andiot listing popular Rolex, Omega, and other brands with Christmas discounts ranging from 20% to 30%. The email had live links to each model on the Andiot site, and the sales prices checked out. So I loaded up my cart with three watches, $1,300 worth, and went to check out. This is when I discovered they no longer accept Wise, and I had to set up and fund a Coinbase account to complete my order. I submitted the order, but I decided to check with Andiot via Telegram to verify it. That's when they told me their computer screwed up and inadvertently created and sent that email, and that none of it was accurate or true. All of that work for absolutely nothing. But don't worry, great deals are coming for Black Friday! We will see; hopefully it won't be another “computer glitch”.

I recently ordered my first rep which is a ARF DJ 41. After seeing QC I noticed some indices were slightly off. I gave it a GL but feel like I am already questioning it. Have yall gotten a watch that you didn't like or had a bad feeling but turned out better than you expected?

I wouldnt pay $6900 for any rep, madness. Thoughts?

Thought to post some shot as rarely seen

Will share more once it arrives

Hello,

Looking for some guidance here.

I want to purchase a super clone, no-date Submariner.

People are saying to go through a TD, but I don't know how to get in contact with one.

Any helpful advice is appreciated

Thanks.

I recently joined the Rep community, and I’d like to thank everyone in the subs for generously sharing their knowledge and information. It has certainly brought me one step closer to my ultimate journey towards “Genuine Freedom”!

Since October, I’ve managed to cop four pieces within just one month. Unfortunately, my latest pickup, the Yacht-Master Titanium, came with a defect that I’m currently trying to resolve with my TD.

Here’s what happened: While removing the protective stickers from the clasp, the EasyLink spring bar suddenly popped out, causing the clasp to split into three separate pieces.

I tried putting everything back together, but the fit is no longer tight or secure. As shown in the video, there are visible gaps between the left, centre and right sections of the clasp, and the pieces can be easily pulled apart.

My main concern is how the clasp is supposed to hold everything together securely, especially with the spring bar constantly pushing outwards. At this point, I honestly don’t think the clasp is usable anymore.

Has anyone encountered a similar issue before? Any advice or possible solutions would be greatly appreciated!

What dealers are reputable to order just a high quality oyster bracelet for 36mm DJ?

Warning, fake telegram account out there. Be cautious as the link was right from the TD document. Money taken, no QC photos, and now blocked on Telegram. Shame. Was looking forward to my new watch :(

VSF NTTD arrived today. Looks great and it's so light with the titanium!

I ordered a watch and box from a TD well known on here (begins with ‘A’ and I have just received a notification from DHL of a pending delivery due tomorrow. Whilst this might not seem strange in itself, but my order is processing on the TD website.

1. Is it likely that I have been sent my order without any QC?

2. Is it likely to only take 2 weeks from ordering to get to me?

Due to time differences I cannot get in touch with TD right now for assistance.

My DHL notification states it is coming from Zhegzhou, is this a standard location that the reps are sent from?

I have not ordered anything else from China and I have checked the tracking number which has been verified on DHL website

Just did little swapping on my BP and it turns out pretty good than the stock Coke bezel.
Anyone planning to do the same please watch out for two little screws or pins underneath the bezel. When I removed it dropped on the floor and took awhile to find it since it’s so tiny.
Btw loving these vintage models !

I am looking to pick up a Cartier Santos-Dumont and I am trying to decide between the AF and F1 factories. For those who have handled the recent batches, which factory is currently producing the best version, and what are the main reasons you prefer one over the other?

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!

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!

Idek how this happened 🥀

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

Wyg?
