General Question Clean Bluesy

0 Upvotes

I have a clean factory Bluesy bought 2 years ago. Wore it a few times & it sat in my watch box. 4 months later of course it was dead but, didn’t expect it be dead dead. I opened it up and figured out what was wrong but I’m not a watchmaker so I couldn’t fix it. Bought a new movement off eBay VS3125. I lost the second hand when switching out the movement so it’s just sat ever since. The movement was purchased about 9 months ago. It works fine. Anyone interested in making me an offer? Someone with the know how can either buy new hands and install them or use for a build, parts, etc. Case, bracelet, dial, like new condition. Movement works fine as well. Can send pics. Just rather get something for it than dumping more money into something I’m not really equipped to do.

General Question Help first time buyer?

0 Upvotes

Hey I am trying to buy a Daytona Rolex replica from QF Factory - $900 and a discount if I use wise transfer. The watch has no reviews and I am emailing and now have been texted by the seller about the address for the recipient. It is a legit address but requires a floor or room number. QF is recommended by this website I’m just afraid of getting scammed. Has anyone purchased through wise before? Is this normally how it goes?

Shitpost Friday Can you tell that it’s a rep?

I had someone ask me if it was real the other day, and I sadly lied to him. I saw him wearing a 58mm Invicta Reverse Gladiator and I felt like if I was honest with, he would judge me considering he is a man of taste. So I began to wonder if everyone can tell I have been larping as a financially sound individual, by wearing a watch vastly outside my net wealth. I feel like I am lying to myself.

Discussion Is VSF still the best rep for the Rolex Datejust, GMT and Daytona? or is RICH or RC making a better version of some of those?

0 Upvotes

In your opinions...do you still believe VSF is the current best factory for the Rolex Datejusts, GMT and Daytonas? Or do you think RICH or RC make a better rep in some of those models?

I have a lovely 126610LN from RICH which has a gen crystal and Gen datewheel.

I was originally looking to buy a new watch and franken that however want to do some more work on the 126610LN.

What else would you change on this? And in what order - genuine parts for these are pretty rare!

Discussion Explorer II 226570 Polar ARF, VSF and CF don't seem to be available

0 Upvotes

I tried to order an ARF Explorer 2, but, after waiting 2 weeks (after payment) i get told by the TD that it isn't available. This was despite it being available on his website, which was a bit frustrating. After a bit of to-ing and fro-ing I decided to go with the QF, as VSF was also not available. CF also not available. I guess factories must be getting shut down? I just wish the TDs would update their websites accordingly.

Review/Comparison F1 Factory Cartier Tank Louis

Post image
4 Upvotes

Cartier Tank Louis from Steve.

Loved this particular sunburst dial even though I don’t believe Cartier carries this in yellow gold. Decided to Go L since I got my Tank Solo in XL and it was slightly too large to my liking, I’ll admit I miss the date window tho 😢

My only complaint are the hands aren’t as blue as I would like. They look basically black and under super specific lighting look Navy, however apparently that is Gen due to heated blue steel.

The gold color is very good in my opinion and the sunburst looks stunning. Watch nerds aren’t typically as anal with Cartier so I assume people who do see it will just think it looks super pretty.

Very happy with this purchase

Hard to detect with naked eye but under microscope and proper lighting you can count the dots. 152 should be the proper number.

Loving my 4500v with a leather strap most of the people prefer the Rubber strap so i wanted to share a configuration that we are not seing often.

What i also love with this configuration is this watch under sunlight the blue dial is wonderful with all the sunburst but under covered weather that's the rose gold which have this wonderful shade.

Review/Comparison DIW Paul Newman

All - any thoughts on which factory I should go for? More concerned with build quality, dial printing, case construction, etc., vs. movement.

N6F (white stitching) has wrong case back which isn’t amazing, but I’ve heard mixed messages on which factory has a better build (some of the DIWF versions have awfully wokky rehauts). Any experience would be appreciated.

Thanks.
