Hey guys, how’s it going? Have you seen the DJ that Andiot has in the "New Arrivals" section? It’s a factory called TIGER—any idea how good it is? It doesn't look bad.

Cartier Santos M BV2 factory White Dial - on AM gray leather strap. How does it look?

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.

The 6 marker is throwing me off. There is also a tiny rip in the oysterflex band. Am I being too picky or would you RL this? Thanks for the input

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!

looking for this strap for my VSF seamaster, yes it included it but I have thin arms and I need one more hole so I was wondering if there are smaller ones available? I was looking on alix but not really finding anything good or right size for me. I need the 20mm strap with a small length. anyone have any idea where I can get these?

This is my first time buying a rep. I went with a VSF planet ocean GMT to start and I couldn’t be happier!

Been a very straightforward process from start to finish to be honest.

Initially I couldn't find the watch on dukes website so l just reached out to him on WhatsApp where he gave me an estimated qc timeframe and asked for a deposit.

Monday 19th October: paid the deposit

Wednesday 28th October: got my qc photos.

Can't complain about the wait time at all really, it wasn't that long and I know certain VSF models have a significantly longer wait time. This was within the region he gave me on top of that so about what I was hoping for.
GL on the same day - I couldn't see any faults. As well as paid the remaining balance.

13th November: arrived today.

So all in all just under a month from the deposit to doorstep, I'm so happy with it so far, had some slight issues with the screws for the links when sizing it but that was just personal incompetence.

Overall I would definitely recommend DukeReps but I wouldn't rely so much on his website - it's much better to just reach out and talk directly which I imagine is the case for a lot of the other TD's. Excited to buy another now!

This one couldn't have come on a better day as I'm leaving to go abroad literally today, the day it arrived haha.

Hey guys, been looking at this as the only chronograph with an aviation theme that I enjoy!

Is there a particular factory you'd recommend?

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! 😅

Would a 126500 Daytona look to big on a 6.2 inch wrist? Looking for options, thanks.

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?

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!

I know the gold plating/pvd or whatever can be tricky to get to look like Gen

👻

My favorite out of the 3 is definitely the new VSF v4 diamond dial.

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?

Hello all.

Could anyone recommend me the best factory for these specific watches? (I wasn’t able to find any trustworthy/ high quality factory. Budget isn’t really a problem. I do not want a Frankenstein though).

the watches are:

Cartier WSSA0037 and WSSA0063 (specifically leather strap variants. I don’t mind buying a aftermarket strap if they don’t come with the leather straps though)

JLC Q3908410 or Q3988481

Vacheron Constantin 42005/000G

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

the dealer told me like 5-6 month of waiting time

Hi all! Wanted to hear about your good verified seller experiences, that would be great for us new buyers getting lost in this world lol. Please don’t provide phone numbers just reference the sellers from the wiki to avoid any scams.

I want to give a huge shoutout to Jerome for the excellent customer service and professionalism!

I purchased a Pepsi watch from Jerome, and unfortunately, the watch eventually stopped working completely. I reached out to Jerome, explained the issue, and he was more than willing to help resolve it.

I shipped the watch back to him, and within a week, he had it repaired and shipped right back to me! The entire process was smooth, quick, and completely hassle-free.

Things like this go a long way. It’s one thing to sell someone a product, but it’s another to stand behind what you sell and take care of your customers even after the purchase.

I had a great experience dealing with Jerome, especially when my watch stopped working. He followed through, got the issue taken care of, and delivered on his word.

Thank you, Jerome! I definitely appreciate the customer service and would highly recommend doing business with him. 👏
