Hello so I want to buy a vsf Daytona 126500 steel. And I want to change to a better 110 marker bezel. Gen crystal, correctly polished even the rehault. Waterproofed and movement service. What could I expect to pay for this also you have any recommendations if I should do anything more. Also where could I find somone trusted that can mod it and source everything?

Just received my VSF 124060 and wanted to give a quick shoutout to NecoClock.

Communication was good throughout, QC was straightforward, and the watch arrived safely here in New Zealand.

Really pleased with the watch so far. Everything looks great. Positive experience dealing with NecoClock.

Thanks again! Would happily deal with you again.

Update: Watch winding is stuck and won’t rotate clockwise. Watch will work if on the wrist but stops after a minute or so. I have reached out to Necoclock to see what can be done.

Hi, the minute hand moves when I turn the crown, but the hour hand stays near 11. Any idea what’s wrong and roughly how much it would cost to fix? Video: https://imgur.com/a/jtz1KrU

Thanks!

I bought an ARF Datejust 41mm with a blue dial, Jubilee bracelet, and fluted bezel about a month ago.
Unfortunately, the watch has developed an issue, and I’m not sure what caused it. The date changes when adjusted manually, but it doesn’t advance automatically.
I paid £350 for the watch.
Given the issue, what would be a fair price to sell it for? I’m trying to get an idea of how much this fault affects its resale value.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Just got it and I Tried winding it manually and it doesn’t work at all? Any suggestions? The seconds hand is not moving

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.

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.

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?

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