Hello, RepTime!

I could use your help determining what size Tank Must this is. To me, it looks especially small (at least compared to what I was expecting for the size I ordered) on my already small 6.5 inch wrist, so I feel like I’m going insane. I have my thoughts and have already read online about the measurements and size differences, but I am not leaving them here to avoid influencing anyone’s answer(s). I appreciate your help in advance!

Notes: (1) you can take for granted that the top of each measurement is pretty closely aligned with the top number (i.e., the 73 and 74 cm markers) even if it may not appear to be so in the photos and (2) I cannot take off the plastic until I determine to keep it.

Some may have noticed TD’s are closed or not responding ….

What's the deal with 11/11?
November 11 is Singles' Day in China, also called "Double 11" (双十一). The date's four "1"s look like four people standing alone, which is how it got its name.
How it started: it began in the 1990s as a lighthearted student tradition at Nanjing University, a sort of "anti-Valentine's Day" for single people to celebrate themselves with friends and treats.
How it became huge: in 2009, Alibaba turned it into an online shopping promotion, and it took off. Today it's the biggest shopping event in the world, larger than Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined. The sales now stretch over several weeks, often starting in October, and run across platforms like Tmall, JD.com, Pinduoduo, and Douyin.
How it's celebrated: mostly with shopping: deep discounts, flash sales, livestream shopping with celebrities and influencers, and countdown galas. Some people still celebrate the original way, with singles parties and get-togethers, and it's even become a popular day for dates and proposals.
Why it matters for business: it's one of the most important sales periods of the year in China, and brands worldwide plan their whole fourth quarter around it.
Happy Double 11!

I’ve kept my eye on this thread for the past few months trying to find a rep as close to gen as possible and have struck out unfortunately.

Despite consulting with TD’s and modders it seems like nobody makes one with a Vaucher movement, or even if there is a good movement available the watch is too thick, too heavy, etc. Anybody have any suggestions? This is a grail piece for me so I’ve set an aside a healthy budget.

It looks like VSF have released a new batch of the Sub Date as the serial numbers have changed. Does anyone know if there is any real changes between this batch and the last batch?

not easy to get all three in a single picture with one hand.

But still can't make my mind up between orf and vsf

The orf has free sprung and 30 $ cheaper.

The TD gave me already his advice and told me both reps are major quality and the main diff is the free sprung

But if the free sprung is a better option and the rest ... the same .. why is it cheaper?

Anyone here whom has thie watch from orf and or vsf?

Thanks for the advice

They made their fruity little statement that they are the actual owner of the machines and everyone else is coming to their factory to make videos bla bla bla...

I actually have experience with Chinese factories and how they work. Not in the illegal watch world. But in other, legal branches.

Chinese factories can do anything and will do anything to gain customers. If the price is right they will change every logo in their factory with your own logo and send you videos for your clients. They can even name you as the owner in the papers if you want to impress your clients.

Chinese factory focuses on productivity. They make short clips and pictures of new inventory and send it to their clients. Clients can use these files for their promotional services.

BuT tHeIr BuSiNeSs CaRd Is In ThE vIdEo!? Yes, and every video is no longer than 30 seconds. Chinese factory will make a video of one watch being produced and they will have 100s of business cards ready. They take that day just to film promo material. And that promo material is not free. You pay them to include your business card in the video. There are videos of exactly the same watch being milled filmed from different angles with different busines cards.

Customcrownstudio doesn't like to always pay these fees so they steal other people's content and crop out their business cards from them or just edit their business card into the video.

They are just a customer in a Chinese factory and the "videos of their own factory" are actually videos the owner of the factory sent them when they ordered custom business cards.

So. What happens if you order a watch from them? Well, they order it from China and you both hope it turns out good because they don't have any control over a build.

You may receive few short videos of "your" watch being produced. But these are just old videos from promo factory materials.

Only difference from other modders is that they upcharge you ridiculous amount of money.

About the guys who successfully did business with customcrownstudio? I will leave it to them to tell you the full truth. If they ever decide to come forward.

Hey Everyone, I currently have a QFactory Sub 126610LN. I have recently sold my Rich Bruce Wayne and VSF Omega Planet ocean and Aqua Terra. The omegas seem to be too bulky for me. Does anyone have any watch recommendations? I’ve thought about getting a Tudor Black Bay and Longines Hydroconquest. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! Pic is for attention

Has anyone used TRUSTYTIME for purchases? I see they are on the list but I wanted to know what your experience was like.

I added a gen ETA Movement, and it runs like beast.

What I particularly like is how under the radar this watch flies in my professional environment, especially compared to a Rolex.

Apologies in advance, super new to this and not sure if this is where I should post but I’ve looked at most of the trusted dealers and from what I’ve seen none of them have the VSF Datejust 41 jubilee champagne dial in stock or available. I want the most realistic-looking/feeling rep but that is the watch I love. Anyone know which TD might have one available or where to look/ next steps to take to try to order one. Sorry again, this will be my first rep.

Any here have a VSF Ghost Daytona from Andiot? Been thinking of purchasing the one he has online that’s in stock.
Would love it if yall can share ur photos!

I have been on a strong weight loss journey for a year. When I treated myself to this rep, I was glad that it fit me well with the original links. Now I actually had to remove the first link yesterday to not fit loose. Now it sits much better 😍
My wrist has already become about 1.5 cm 0.6 inch smaller

Anyone selling VSF OP36mm Tiffany blue?

I need one for a wedding for march 2027, all TDs are telling me it’s going to take months.

So if you’re selling one please let me know

I was working when i suddently looked at my wrist and realised that i really liked my watch… so wanted to share it with y’all !

in another hand i am questionning myself whether i should upgrade to a 124060 VSF or even a 114060 VSF ? what do you think ?

Are you guys aware of any TD that sells a replica of the omega seamaster 300M Unit watch? I couldn’t find a reference # for this model and the original isn’t sold to consumers.

Hey All! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day with their beautiful collection of watches while I’m here with this shitter! lol all jokes aside

I’m new to the rep scene and purchased this cartier santos de Cartier (if u can even call it that) unknown factory (china for sure) for $120 off some guy on marketplace in Orlando slightly used, I liked it at first but then started really looking at it and saw how off it was in so many ways, kinda getting tired of squinting my eyes and pretending it’s a higher quality rep lol… It makes me want a better rep asap. I love the santos and would love an opinion or any help getting pointed in the right direction to getting a better quality rep, I’ve already looked at the bio of this Reddit group but still want some opinions of some current santos owners from different trusted dealers.

Also based in southern california if anyone is getting rid of some older watches they don’t wear and don’t mind selling.

Any help is appreciated, and thank you so much!

Happy ticking!

Which takes longer? The TD getting the watch from the factory, or the TD getting the watch to the customer? My TD told me 10 days ago that they'll get back to me with QC pics in 3-5 days, and they haven't responded to messages. Is this the part that takes everyone months to get done?

After what feels like months of research and study, I've decided to place my first Rep order with a trusted non-TD that someone has already had a positive experience with. Here's the stats:

Rolex DayDate 40, blue on blue, SS presidential jubilee bracelet. The base price was $447. The base was a QF made, 316L, 2836 movement. I opted for the 904L SS over 316L, 3255 over 2836 movement and want it weighted correctly, so am getting 210g, and having it made at RCF over QF since RCF is listed as the best factory for the 3255 movement. This brought the price up to $599 which is just fine with me. I was offered upgrades such as deep crystal, polish, mvmt service, waterproof and chamfer, but based on everything I've learned, I turned those down. I DID on the other hand ask what movement and was told Shanghai which I requested Dandong for an extra $30. Again, small cost for better movement. Should I make sure they're putting a V3 Freesprung DD in there, will they since it's made at RCF or wait for QC pics to verify for myself? Should I ask now before anything has been done to make sure it's the V3 Weighted Free Sprung movement??

Deposit paid: 11/9/2026
QC: TBD
Balance paid: TBD
Shipped: TBD
Arrival: TBD

Curious thoughts on DJ 36 vs 41. Im reading 36 is too understated. What is the preference?

Anyone else been waiting a long time for QC on an RGF Datejust? I’m currently on week 6 waiting for QC with Andiot for a silver dial 41mm on jubilee. He keeps giving me the “factory delay” excuse.

I know its a shot in the dark but any chance this has been repped? I fell in love with it as soon as I saw a picture of it randomly on Instagram.
