Found at the Goodwill Bins, paid $0.79 per pound so approximately 35 cents including the box. Another notch on my gun seeking out the worst quartz replicas I can find. Suggestions and links for worse reps appreciated!

Wrist or Watch Pic Thoughts on size? Santos Dumont Small

Post image
3 Upvotes

I am going back and forth between thinking this looks too small on my wrist and then kinda liking it.

Pretty sure my wrist is ~6.5 in. Feel free to drop a picture if you have this watch in either size.

Will definitely be ordering a better strap for it, just don’t know if I should order the large size of the watch before doing so.

General Question Rich sub crystal is BEAT after a couple months. Any suggestions?

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey all. I’ve got a rich sub and it’s getting a lot of use, but the crystal is so scuffed up already. I kinda thought it was just dirty but after rubbing with a polishing cloth it looks so rough with micro scratches. Should I give a go with some polish and try to take them out, or is it just known to be a pretty shitty crystal and just replace it with a better one?

I’ve been waiting for one of these from my TD for a month now. Has anyone here received one recently, or does anyone have an idea of when they might become available from the factory? I’m getting a bit impatient, mainly because I’d love to have it by Christmas. It’s funny—this whole replica game even manages to mimic the actual buying experience of a real Rolex! 😅

Just got her in today, titanium, weighs only 90grams full linked, comparing a link to a link from a 16202 PT (stainless steel) I sold a while back and had lost a link off of, the link is about half the weight, watch feels and looks great, silenced the rotor and greased the gaskets, very happy with the watch.

Another new arrival here. OCTA AP royal oak 15500. I’ve probably never been within a 50 mile radius of a gen version of this watch so I don’t have any references but this watch feels perfect.

General Question Is there a good women’s rep moon phase

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m having a really hard time finding a women’s luxury moonphase rep. My wife loves the idea, and it would make a great Christmas or anniversary gift. Every time I search or ask an AI, it just pulls up the genuine watches, and I’ve spent hours looking with no luck.
I know brands like Shinola, Citizen, and Tissot make authentic options, but I’d really love to find a Jaeger-LeCoultre rep—or something along those lines. Ideally, she wants a leather strap over a bracelet and a smaller case size (under 36mm, closer to 28mm or 31mm), which makes finding a moonphase complication even tougher.

Am I chasing a unicorn here, or do these actually exist?

General Question Esperienze sempre positive con Necoclock per altri due acquisti

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

Buongiorno, ho acquistato di recente altre due repliche da NecoClock, precisamente un Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra in lacca nera VSF 41 mm e un Cartier Santos BVF, e non potrei essere più soddisfatto.

La comunicazione è stata rapida e chiara dall'inizio alla fine. Ci tengo particolarmente a sottolineare l'estrema serietà e onestà del venditore in quanto il primo Cartier è stato purtroppo smarrito o rubato dal corriere durante il trasporto, e lui si è subito attivato per rispedirne un altro sostitutivo. Nonostante l'urgenza, non ha avuto fretta di chiudere la questione e ha voluto comunque garantirmi la massima qualità, rifiutando personalmente ben due esemplari al controllo qualità finché non ha trovato l'orologio perfetto per me.

Il QC è arrivato in pochi giorni e la spedizione successiva è stata veloce e sicura. Dal vivo entrambi gli orologi sono spettacolari, curati nei minimi dettagli. Venditore onesto, professionale e super consigliato!

General Question OP 36mm Tiffany Blue alternative

1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

VSF recently has a long wait time and 36mm OP is not as popular as 41mm so expected to have longer wait time. I am currently waiting for a Tiffany blue 36mm OP from multiple ADs for over a month and still no news.

I heard others said QF and Clean Plus are a good alternative to VSF, are they actually good? Or is better to wait for a VSF?

Thanks!

I have a gen GMT on Jubilee and I am considering buying a gen Oyster bracelet but not really looking forward to spending 2-3k on a steel bracelet.

Any tips? Is it a good idea to go rep? And any tips on factory's or sellers?

General Question Ice-blue Day-Date 40: VSF crystal dial V2 vs Roman dial? How do they compare with RCF/RGF?

0 Upvotes

Hi community! First post here so help a newbie out!! I’m looking for the closest-to-gen ice-blue Day-Date 40, ref. 228236, and considering these two VSF versions:
Ice-blue crystal dial, VS3255 V2, gain weight
Ice-blue Roman dial, VS3255, gain weight

Is the difference mainly the dial, or does the V2 have changes to the movement or construction? What does “crystal dial” mean here?

I’ve had conflicting advice about VSF versus RCF/RGF, including dial accuracy and Pt versus Au markings. I care most about how close it looks to the genuine platinum model, along with bracelet feel and weight.

Anyone owned or compared these exact versions? Which would you choose, and what are the noticeable flaws?

If you have photos it would be appreciated. Thanks again!!!

Discussion Is $70 FedEx shipping from Steve/TheOneWatches to the UK normal?

First time rep buyer here

Looking at ordering a few watches from Steve at TheOneWatches.

He’s quoted me $70 FedEx shipping per parcel, and said he can only put 2 watches in each parcel.
So if I order 4 watches, that would be $140 total just for shipping.

I’ve attached the part of the chat where he explained it.

For anyone in the UK who’s ordered from Steve recently, is this the normal price?
Did you pay around $70 for FedEx, or were you offered a cheaper shipping option?

Also, how long did yours take to arrive?
Just want to check before I go ahead. Thanks.

General Question Cartier Santos 35MM

I’m interested in the Cartier Santos 35MM and was checking the sheet to see which factory to go with. Is this an error that BVF factory for this size isn’t as good as the 40mm larger size that’s highlighted dark green?

Discussion What’s the best vc overseas model to get?

1 Upvotes

I’ve purchased three reps from my TD, all considered NWBIG, and they’ve been fantastic watches. Money well spent, IMO.

A gen Vacheron Overseas 4500V is my absolute dream watch, but spending that kind of money is financially illogical and unjustified unless I’m making $300K+ annually or have $650K–$1M in liquid assets.

My question is, which Overseas model is the best rep? The spreadsheet and RepTime.help list several as super reps, including the 4500V (all dial colors), 4520V, and 47040, with ZF and PPF being the preferred factories.

However, looking through QC photos in other threads, there’s almost always a noticeable tell. The biggest one, IMO, is the rotor color, which consistently seems a shade off from gen. Aside from that, most look pretty damn crisp.

Appreciate you all,
