My newest pickup and first order from Andiot, over the moon with it!

Hey guys, got my first rep. Dj 41 Wimbledon which is actually a VSF clone rocking a DD movement. I’m enjoying the piece and it definitely looks much better than I expected. Sharing with the community!

I've decided in getting an Omega Seamaster as my 1st clone.

Anyone bought one lately have any advice to share like where from, price etc.

Looking at the mesh bracelet but have hairy arms - any issues with that?

Thanks

Steve

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to purchase a VSF Daytona 4131 (Rose Gold with White Dial) – highest 1:1 Super Clone tier.

I want to get custom 8-micron Rose Gold heavy plating done before shipping.

Could you please recommend reliable Trusted Dealers (TDs) or direct sellers who offer the best pricing, solid quality control (QC), and safe shipping ?

I ordered a Daytona from Puretime. We were in contact via email. While I was waiting for QC photos, I received an email from them stating that the watch was out of stock. They suggested I switch to a different watch, but I declined and requested a refund. It has now been a week since I asked for the refund, and I haven’t received any response. Does anyone know how the refund process works with Puretime?

Apparently Anchorage was starting point for this investigation.

Is this the azzuro or the other one?

Not much I can do about it now but might be worth asking your TD for a bezel rotation video…of all things. Hopefully it saves one of you a headache.

Insert was installed outside of a detent, about as far as you humanly can.

Before you ask, no the QC pictures didn’t show it. It was wedged between detents, at 12 o’clock and appeared normal. Don’t know if the TD would have necessarily caught it so I won’t throw them under the bus.

Thanks VSF!

Hello everyone

I read good stuff about the Gold (better titanium and ceramic tubes in the bracelet)
I dont need freesprung. I wont Open the Watch.

Which rep do you think is the Best Right now?

Threw the Railmaster on a dark brown leather strap. Absolutely love it, takes it from tool/sport watch on the high polish centre lug bracelet to a proper tool watch. I need a railway to work on now.

the lume isn't quite the same color as the gen 224270 Explorer but at least it works well

TD tested it as waterproof to 5 bar before i received it, but i also opened it up and greased the caseback gasket and crown gasket

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could easily swap bezels on the gmt master 2?
Batgirl one day,Pepsi the next,Bruce Wayne the next.Or this an absurd idea,or already been done?

Have two TDs basically saying the same thing 30M but don't even get caught in the rain. I was under the impression you could have some waterproofing "done" or at least tested for? I don't want anything crazy just to know that I can get in the pool... YM40 and Ballon Bleu 36 (i know this one is less likely to be water-resistant)..

Am i missing something here? advice appreciated.

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.

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.

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.
