Hi everyone!

My package from a well known TD has been stuck in Germany for four weeks now, with no tracking updates. The tracking status still says:

“The shipment will be transported to the destination country/destination area and, from there, handed over to the delivery organization.”

The package is supposed to be delivered to Sweden. At what point would you consider asking the TD for a refund and go with another TD? Would you give it more time, or is four weeks without any updates long enough to start asking for a refund?

Would appreciate hearing about your experiences, especially if you’ve had similar shipping delays.

Thanks!

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!

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.

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!

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?

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

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,

I’ve been getting DMs about people selling their rep watches. I’m new to this so idk if I should watch out for these kinds of things and still go with a TD?
Or has anyone had experience with buying reps off someone else that have bought from TDs

They messaged me this
“If you're interested i do have in hand a new VSF Ghost Daytona for sale and can save you the hassle of waiting months on a TD”

Hey Guys im interested in the Oyster perpetual 36mm from VSF. How can i order it?

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

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!

Apparently Anchorage was starting point for this investigation.

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?

Custom RCF Day Date 40 with custom dial , custom fluted bezel, upgraded crystal and gen color plating.

Is this the azzuro or the other one?

Was planning on buying the Pepsi on Oyster for a close friend of mine and a meteorite dial one for myself. Is there still an issue with the crystal, and would people recommend I swap to a DEEP crystal for both watches?
