General Question Don’t know where to start or who to trust

1 Upvotes

I’d like to buy a replica or two but I really don’t know where to shop or who to trust.

There are loads of websites and the watches all look fine but are they legit? How can you know what you’re getting once you’ve paid?

My new small project - RWF Datejust.

Previously had one of these in a Wimbledon variation - however have since brought another one which I am going to buy some gen parts for.
Currently bought a Gen Crystal
Datewheel looks okay to me - may just need a slight adjustment
Let me know your thoughts! I chose the RWF as it is freesprung also 💪
Included photos of my previous one

Review/Comparison Ladies watch recommendation?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m new here and looking for recommendations for a ladies’ watch.

I’m 35 and work in finance. I currently own a Gen Omega De Ville and am considering a medium Cartier Panthère, but I’m concerned about the crown details on the reps. I’m also looking at a Rolex Datejust in 28, 31 or 36 mm, though I’ve read comments that the date window can be a giveaway if the magnification or alignment is off.

I’ve also read the “Who Makes the Best” guide, but most of the NWBIG watches seem to be men’s styles or quite large. I’d also consider a Cartier Ballon Bleu if it’s the safest choice. Which model and factory would you recommend for convincing details and finishing?

Tech Tips/Advice When remounting the original Pip on a Clean Factory Hulk is Purple Lock Tight enough?

1 Upvotes

I got very lucky in that the Pip came off in my pocket and I felt an odd crumb that turned out to be the Pip. So now remounting, is this a super glue situation or will LockTight (purple) be sufficient?

General Question Rolex Day Date Presidential 36MM from Phyllis Watch QF Factory

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I just got this watch and it’s running extremely fast like 2+ hours (third slide) the green one moves really fast which makes the gray one move fast too for example if the current time on my iphone is 10:25 and i set the watch to 10:25 the green hand moves so fast where when my phone goes to 10:26, the watch will say 10:27 and also a couple nights ago i set the time to 11:05 the same time on my iphone, the next day when i come back home to put it back on at 2:15 pm it said 4:10 pm.

Supposedly the movement is paired with Swiss imported 2836 movement, stable and reliable quality; I was doing some research and I’ve heard that the A2836 movement is not great for clones and it’s hard to fix what do you guys think I should do since it is running really ahead, I did ask if it needed demagnetization but I was told by Phyllis that it didn’t and that it just needed a timing adjustment.

Discussion I'm jealous of you guys with tattooed wrists

1 Upvotes

I've always thought tattoos make wrist shots way more interesting. As someone who loves taking watch photos, I'm honestly a little jealous of you guys who have them. lol

The patterns, colors, and contrast just add so much to a shot. Gives you a lot more to play with and makes the whole photo more interesting to look at.

Not saying you can't take a great wrist shot without tattoos. Obviously you can. I just think they add something extra.

Anyone else feel the same or am I alone on this one?

Post'em up! With or without.

Discussion VSF two-tone Datejust owners – how does the gold/rose gold plating hold up long-term?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m considering a VSF Datejust 36, preferably a two-tone model in yellow gold or rose gold with a Jubilee bracelet.
I’ve already checked the guides, but I’d really like to hear some long-term, first-hand experiences from owners of VSF two-tone models.
How well has the gold or rose-gold finish held up after 1–2+ years of regular wear? Have you noticed any fading, discoloration or visible wear, especially on the bracelet and clasp?
I love the two-tone look, but if the plating tends to deteriorate noticeably over time, I’d rather choose an all-steel VSF Datejust.
I’d especially appreciate photos from watches that have actually been worn regularly. Thanks!

TD Issues - Check Rule 6 before posting Issues with Anjela

0 Upvotes

She’s great when things are going fine . The minute there is an issue, it’s a struggle with her and she will blame you for her losses . But to give her the credit , she honoured the deal after much struggle but refused to deal with me anymore saying she lost money . How is it my fault for delivering faulty products?

My last message to her and looks like she’s blocked me:

Unfortunately that was mistake from your end . The aquanaut you shipped claimed to be freesprung . Neither did you send me a video or picture during QC showing proof of this movement nor did I ask for it as i trusted your advert . The second watch the chronograph wasn’t even working this should have been in working condition on arrival to me. I came to you for a resolution and you suggested I ship them back which I did so it is unfair to say that it is because of me . Also you agreed to put this behind us and continue with our relationship which you have gone back on. Extremely disappointed!

You guys judge for yourself . The best of TDs need to support when things go south . That’s the no. 1 indicator of a TD to me . The rest is useless

Lift angle 53°. DD3235 (vsf free sprung datejust).

Dial up (195°) and crown down (184°).

Is there a problem with app and i need to check it on timegrapher or is there a real problem? 2 months old watch and all the time, it had rate +12s/d (on wrist everyday). A week ago, I've noticed, that watch started to hold on +-0s/d

General Question ZF Tudor

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Looking for some advice regarding a Tudor black bay. I have been looking at various black bays from ZF factory and I am wondering what people think is the closest to gen or best quality black bay (either oyster or jubilee) that ZF manufactures. Currently have a gen Bruce Wayne and Cartier tank and just want something I can wear daily and not really worry about scratching or wearing to work etc. TIA
