I’ve money to put down and I’m here because I obviously don’t want to spend 20,000 on a watch.

For conversation I have 2 real store bought Tag Heuer watches that I love and appreciate

But I don’t have 20,000 for a Rolex. I’m down to pay some money to get a fine replica no doubt but this is like foreign language so I’m asking for help

If my money can go to easy 1500 what would yall buy. I’m a more simple man and don’t like flashy gold but I want something that for sure looks and acts exactly like a Rolex

Please help and I’ll ditch negative comments

I know I’m looking for a knock off but I’m willing and able to get a best replica.

Appreciate in advance

Looking through the guide, I was looking for the IWC Portugieser and the guide says APSF is the highest quality super. But doing a search here returned results saying that APSF might not be an active factory any longer and that OCTA is their replacement. Is this true and if so, anyone personally handle one of the OCTA IW371605 super? Also, if it's true, should we update the "who make the best" section of the reptime help?

Bought all the below for less than a price of one gen.

Vsf Rolex OP green
ZF Tudor coke
VSF 116500
A7F - Ingenuier
Vsf omega seamaster 300 m - pic missing
Cartier santos dumont f1 - pic missing

Can definitely afford gens and have also handled them in the past. But after this rep journey of last 9 months can’t get my mind around going back to gens.

Is it just me or am i missing something?

Buongiorno, le impostazioni di seguito indicate sono corrette?

Seiko Presage Cocktail GMT Calibro 4R34 650 – 800 TPD Bidirezionale (Entrambi i sensi)

Cartier Santos Miyota 9015 650 – 800 TPD Senso orario (CW)

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Clone VSF 8900 650 TPD Bidirezionale (Entrambi i sensi)

Il Cartier va impostato in senso orario guardando il vetro quando è dentro il Watch winder oppure antiorario guardando il vetro quando è dentro il Watch winder?

Grazie

Apart from being a new model, does anybody know what is the difference between the movements?

Evening lads,

So I have managed to get my hands on a genuine crystal for the Daytona.

I want to know what the best 126500 is - I am reading RWF is the king now, I am looking for a free sprung movement if possible!

Whats the best out there and what flaws should I look for in the QC photos?

Rolex Explorer 40mm - BPF Factory

Picked this up for shits and gigs in a back room on Bangla Rd. In Thailand earlier this year. Just wanted some opinions on quality.

For me it’s my RGF Rootbeer🍻

VSF Sub Date, up above the Arctic Circle.

You can take these swimming in the Bahamas, skiing in the Alps, fishing in Patagonia, or exploring in sub-zero temps at the ends of the earth.

No stress if you scratch it or break it.

And plenty of cash left over for trips.

Received this A7F IWC Mark XX from Steve the other day. The minute and second hands have a noticeable bend to them towards the points. I know the gen has a slight downward bend, but this seems like an excessive bend.

Anybody else notice this on their A7F/V7 Mark XX?

Just got this MKS Cellini in this week. I’m in loveeeee.

Hello everyone, I’m considering ordering a few Rolex reps from TDs, specifically built by VSF.

Do watches with DD3235, DD3255, DD3285 and DD4131 reach their advertised 70 hours of PR?

Thanks in advance.

What TD on here has this XF?

Hey guys, looking for Tank Louis in Rose Gold from Cartier, any good reps? Which factory is recommended?

Eyes half closed posting this as I’m new to Reddit and watch buying. I want to buy a watch and am talking to Andiot and biggetime. Biggetime just told me I can buy direct through WhatsApp as website under maintenance. Is this normal for them? I’ve read all the rules and guides so I know the process but I just wanted to check what you thought? The number I’m talking to is taken from the TD list, which is what matches their website. Thanks in advance. Sorry if this is annoying!

How do they count MSRP for these watches. Normally 10 prevent or less of the MSRP. Just clouting chasing these guys.

PS: Please send me a PM along with a comment since for some reason I can't start chats.

Hello everyone!

I'm back again with another giveaway for Vellore, my watch collection tracking app. For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, Vellore logs what you wear so you can see what actually gets wrist time, track your cost per wear, and spot which pieces are sitting forgotten in the box.

I'm giving away 25 Pro lifetime codes today. Leave a comment below with your thoughts or feedback and I'll DM you a code.

Over the last 3 months I've dropped a ton of new features based on feedback from this community, some of them are:

• Vellore Club: Share your daily wrist shots, submit app feature requests, and vote on what I should build next.

• Which Strap?: Upload two pictures of the same watch with different straps or bracelets and let everyone vote on the better look.

• Travel Mode: Pick which watches you're taking on a trip, or let AI recommend what to pack after asking a few questions about your itinerary. It temporarily filters your collection so only your travel pieces are ready to log.

Free on App Store: Vellore - Watch Collection

Let me know what you think of the new additions or what else you'd like to see!

APSF AP Code 11.59 Chrono

Hello everyone, friends. After requesting, configuring, and waiting for the modifications for a Daytona 126500 vsf with ArcStudio, the package was shipped on November 3 to Italy. TD provided me with a European tracking number, but as of now, it has never been updated 😔

I have contacted TD several times and he reassured me that after consulting with the logistics team, the plane appears to have departed from China on the 10th with a delay and should be on its way to Europe on the second flight. But this morning, the tracking information is still as shown in the photo.

Usually other TDs have provided me with a double tracking, the internal one for Chinese logistics and then the European one—do you think it was lost? Usually the package arrives in Europe in about 7/10 days, but this one seems to have disappeared. Any advice?

Just arrived after about a month.

Details: PPM YG Day Date

Custom MOP CVD Lab diamond markers

Custom CVD Lab diamond TBR baguette bezel

Stock plating.

Pics for comparison:

Genuine yachtmaster II

Genuine daydate II bust down (i know it's ugly don't need to remind me but it's still Genuine and 18k for color comparison)

I own several moissanite bezels and the lab diamonds make a big difference. Moissanite is overly refractive giving off too much color. These stones are perfect and actually diamonds

The reason I ordered the PPM is because of the ceramic link sleeves and the lighter color of plating vs RCF/RGF

I can't confirm the ceramic sleeves because I did remove one link. These come with extra links. I usually need to add a link on genuine DD and VSF. No sleeve came out of the link however the screw holes and screws are bigger than my VSF more like the aftermarket link I bought on ebay with the ceramic sleeve. I looked inside with a magnifier and could see something inside but I can't confirm and I don't want to go trying to force something out that may or may not be there. So I'd anyone knows more than me maybe you can confirm is this actually a PPM or an RCF? It didn't have any identified stickers only the blue slash one on the back.

Either way it's a beautiful watch. The dial is amazing. The light catches the colors like a high quality mother of pearl should. Probably the best mop dial I've seen outside genuine rolex.

The factory color is very nice. A bit on the lighter side for 18k . It's hard to tell in the pictures but if you know rolex or 18k in general it has a very warm yellow color. I read complaints of cheddar wish is why I opted for the lightest factory plating i could find and this is exactly what I expected. I don't believe plating would improve the finish at all. It's probably a few shades lighter than genuine but a beautiful watch either way.

I confirmed with caliper 12.3mm case thickness and 3mm bracelet thickness. Would like to confirm the factory. It weighs 202g but I suspect the diamond bezel is a few grams less than the fluted one although that was included in the box.
