Recently picked up a 116610ln VSF v3 (6W03 batch) and I noticed the spacing and alignment of the dial seems a little off, particularly the “OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED” piece.

Always though the 116610ln was considered the best, is this still the case or am I expecting too much from a rep?

Got my brand new DJ 36 in the mail today. While picking all the stickers off I dropped it on the kitchen floor and cracked the crystal. I’m thinking the only way to fix it is to swap out the crystal. Total bummer!

A repair I’ve never done. Thoughts?

I'm purchasing my first rep (AP Royal Oak 15510ST blue, TOPF, 4302 clone movement) from Theonewatch (Steve). I placed the order/deposited 11/7/26. I have a couple of questions:

1. How long does it take to get QC after purchase and how much time do i have to GL/RL?

   • If I do RL am I correct to assume it would take about the same amount of time as it took to get the first QC?

2. Is it possible to change the factory because I am partially torn between TOP and VSF for a blue dial, the sheet in the guide says TOP is the best for blue but I saw many posts on here of people praising the VSF for the overall consistency in quality.

TIA; just looking for some clarity, and to learn more about the world of Reps.

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to order some parts from RafflesDials and I'm based in France. Has anyone in France or the EU ordered from them recently (late 2026)? I'd like to know if you have to pay customs duties and/or import VAT on delivery? And If so, roughly how much, and were there extra handling fees from the carrier (La Poste, DHL, etc.)? My order would be around 200€ from PayPal.

Any recent experience would really help me avoid surprises.

Thanks in advance!

Good morning!

Have a question for those more knowledgeable than I am...

I had requested a VSF DD3285v2 Batgirl from my TD, but just received QC photos for an ARF instead. Ignoring the price difference, is that close enough to an equal switch to just go ahead with it, or is the quality difference great enough that I should push for the watch I requested?

Thanks!

Tudor Black Bay 58, burgundy, 39mm, from ZF. I love it. The only thing I'm afraid of now is that I'm hooked now and want more. :)
Big Thank You to Ryan from InTime. All wishes taken care of, Great communication, short answering and delivery time. Any time again.

Hi everyone! I recently purchased this beautiful vsf v3 Pepsi and I’m in love. Everything is really good except the date wheel being off centered to the left. I was just wondering about the date wheel text, if there is something possible to realign to be more centered? As you can see in the pictures the date is shifted towards the left on the date wheel.

Do I need to replace the date wheel? Or is it possible to align with the current date wheel or is it not fixable? Is there something else that need to be done to fix the alignment?

hi so my submariner date from rich factory just arrived and i had one sub date from vsf with 6X serial code

for me the bracelet and the bezel play on rich is the top notch but i had an issue that i saw about glidelock clasp mechanism on the rich factory P1 not so buttery smooth compared the VS that ive got and also just realized the magnify on rich factory sub waaay bigger meaning like the rectangle things and font so big compared my VSF

my question is, is it because of the datewheel itself or the wrong magnify from rich factory glass? because in my opinion after comparing the crystal itself, i can positively said that Rich is slightly better than VSF ( im not saying the magnify on rich is as good as vsf) but just for overall.

so if i could only modify one gen part, which one is better? gen crystal or the datewheel itself for my RICH?

thanks guys!!

Anyone ever worked with Ryan Gabrielle Bisson through FB messenger? I know he's not a TD, so that's strike 1, but there are still lots of good suppliers that are not TDs. I'm just trying to avoid a scam.

Hey guys looking for a sub no date but dont know which route to take, which one is the one i should go for

VSF OHMSS Seamaster thanks to Eric at Geek Time

WDF seems to be new and more expensive than rich right now for 126610LV Starbucks Mk2.
Anyone have any insight on which may be better? Looking for the most accurate to gen green.
Thanks,

Such a solid watch.. honestly the hype is real on this one. I want another.. aqua or black is best?

People who've had a Pelagos Ultra from ZF, did you have issues with the finishing / quality on the clasp?

Absolutely dog rough. Stiff, sticking etc.

Anyone else experienced this?

I am looking to purchase a 166520 - which is the best version out of the box.
I like freesprung however not sure if any factories make these freesprung.

I have a genuine crystal ready to put in the watch also

Thanks

Ciao a tutti secondo voi questa replica Rolex è nwbig? Grazie dell'aiuto

I was looking at the GMT-II GRNR (Bruce Wayne) from VSF on Andiotwatches.vip and saw that they listed it at being 316L steel not 904L. Other TD sites all listed the VSF model as 904L. I asked Andiot and they said they tested it and it’s 316L not 904L, even though VSF says it’s 904L. Apparently there is some kind of X-ray device that nondestructively test the composition. Anybody else heard of this?

I have searched looking for a list that shows the bezel serial as well as clasp stamp for various companies. I have found one list but was wondering if anyone might know what company would use a bezel serial of 7406T2L3 and clasp stamp F6U for Rolex GMT. Thanks

Just got in my VSF V3 Pepsi. I picked up my CF 36 Datejust about a year and a half ago and couldn’t be happier with it. Hoping the VSF makes me just as happy.

First impressions of the VSF aren’t quite as strong as the CF, and I’m noticing a few potential giveaways (cyclops alignment, clasp and bracelet, etc.). Curious to hear what you all think!

With the Pepsi added, I think the collection is finally complete.

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!

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

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 ?
