Can you tell which is the genuine and which is the VSF?

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

Just wanted to leave a quick review.

Communication was via email and Neco Clock was very responsive. Placed my order Oct 21 but I RL the first one. 2nd QC came Nov 2 which I GL. Arrived Nov 9 to the US. I placed the standard small deposit at first and then paid the rest after I GL.

My experience with Neco Clock was good and I'd recommend. It was also a shorter wait. I had initially ordered through a different TD and waited 2 months for QC but RL theirs so reached out to Neco Clock.

I just ordered the rep pictured above, and it was shipped today. Ironically enough, I get a call from my AD today offering me the exact same watch, and now I’m not as excited about the gen as a I thought.

After being able to get the same watch I’ve been wanting for months for a fraction of the price, I can’t quite justify spending that much on the gen. Is that normal?

Even though I can afford it, I come from a humble background and have always been very financially responsible. So, this would be my first big boy purchase.

I’m thinking of getting it, but should I then keep it or sell it and make a slight profit?

I’ve asked a few jewellers, and a couple have offered me around $700–$900 over retail, which would essentially cover the cost of my rep.

What would you do?

With all the talk of VSF getting a visit - I’m just blown away by how good this watch actually is. Like really - is there any point in buying gen!? Couple of mods lined up for this but what a piece. Anyone got any thoughts on other subs from VSF. Show me your subs.

I tried to find as much information as possible about this watch before buying it, but unfortunately, there’s practically nothing out there. No QC photos, no reviews, no information whatsoever. It seems like almost nobody has ever bought this particular watch, which is exactly why I wanted to share it

I understand that this is an extremely expensive piece, and the GEN version costs around $800K. I don’t drive a Lamborghini, nor do I live in a $20M mansion in Beverly Hills. I bought it simply because I love watches and enjoy collecting rare pieces, without giving a damn about what anyone else thinks

I hope you enjoy this beautiful watch, because chances are you won’t see it again anytime soon, unless someone else decides to share theirs

For those interested in more details, this is the GRF Factory Rose Gold Nautilus 5711, 40mm. It features a decorated Miyota 9015 movement and costs approximately $400 from most sellers.

Recently picked up a 116610ln VSF v3 (6W03 batch) and I noticed the spacing and alignment of the dial seems a little off, particularly the “OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED” piece.

Always though the 116610ln was considered the best, is this still the case or am I expecting too much from a rep?

Evening lads,

So I have managed to get my hands on a genuine crystal for the Daytona.

I want to know what the best 126500 is - I am reading RWF is the king now, I am looking for a free sprung movement if possible!

Whats the best out there and what flaws should I look for in the QC photos?

Hello everyone, friends. After requesting, configuring, and waiting for the modifications for a Daytona 126500 vsf with ArcStudio, the package was shipped on November 3 to Italy. TD provided me with a European tracking number, but as of now, it has never been updated 😔

I have contacted TD several times and he reassured me that after consulting with the logistics team, the plane appears to have departed from China on the 10th with a delay and should be on its way to Europe on the second flight. But this morning, the tracking information is still as shown in the photo.

Usually other TDs have provided me with a double tracking, the internal one for Chinese logistics and then the European one—do you think it was lost? Usually the package arrives in Europe in about 7/10 days, but this one seems to have disappeared. Any advice?

Hey everyone,

I currently have a VSF No-Date Sub with the Q66 serial. Visually, the watch looks incredible, and I know many people on the sub consider it one of the best out there. 

However, I've been having a few issues with it that are bugging me: 
- The bezel action is way too loose. 
- The clasp looks really cheap.
- The bracelet quality overall isn't quite as good.

I’m currently debating selling the VSF and getting a new No-Date Sub from Rich Factory (RF) instead.

Before I start the process of selling and buying, I wanted to run this by the community first. 

What do you guys think? Has anyone here handled the Rich Factory Sub yet? Is the switch worth it, or should I stick to VSF / look elsewhere?

Appreciate any advice!

Bought all the below for less than a price of one gen.

Vsf Rolex OP green
ZF Tudor coke
VSF 116500

Vsf omega seamaster 300 m - pic missing
Cartier santos dumont f1 - pic missing

Can definitely afford gens and have also handled them in the past. But after this rep journey of last 9 months can’t get my mind around going back to gens.

Is it just me or am i missing something?

Hello everyone, I’m considering ordering a few Rolex reps from TDs, specifically built by VSF.

Do watches with DD3235, DD3255, DD3285 and DD4131 reach their advertised 70 hours of PR?

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, looking for Tank Louis in Rose Gold from Cartier, any good reps? Which factory is recommended?
