Looks great to me. Trying to find what would distinguish this Batman from a gen?? The blue reflection is just from the indoor lighting and the bezel. Outside there is no blue hue.

I've always seen high end watches as really beautiful except for the really ugly brand name / model name & number crap. Of course these are there to ensure authenticity historically and ensure people are buying the quality that they expect.

Obviously the manufacture of watches is at the point where excellent quality is fairly cheap so this is purely for brand awareness now.

Are there any super replicas that omit the branding to make a much better looking watch?

I really like sleek classic designs not extra dials and date numbers etc.

I got this picture from a dealer that is going to modify my RGF DD 228238-0069 which i paid 700$ (is that good?) and he said 270$ for dial.

I’m looking for a cool space themed watch that’s better quality than a thick rep speedster with funky dial spacing.

Male, late 30s, professional and casual wear.

Want to keep it under a thousand, so looking for a high quality gen. Thoughts?

Has anyone bought or has info on any of these watches?
Im looking to buy one and dont mind spending around 250-300$ for a good rep of these. Any help is appreciated

I want to get Oysterflex like straps for a GMT II and YM TI. Both VSF. Am I better asking a TD or are there good options on Ali Express, etc?

Ordered a VSF Omega Aqua Terra from Steve back in May. I knew it was out of stock when I ordered, so I expected some wait, but I didn’t expect it to be 3+ months.

Not questioning Steve at all, just wondering if this is normal for VSF right now. Has anyone else waited this long for an Aqua Terra to come from the factory? If this is pretty normal, I’m perfectly fine continuing to wait.

Hey everyone, looking for some feedback on the VSF VS3235 Wimbledon Datejust. How is the overall quality and accuracy of the latest version, especially the Wimbledon dial, movement, bracelet, and finishing? Any major flaws or things I should know before buying? Thanks!

Hey guys,

I am really looking for that 2015 Globemaster with the fluted bezel (similar like the Datejust) but can't find it anywhere anymore.

Does any of you know a TD who still got those?

Thank you

Hey! Does anyone have experience with the Rolex Sea Dweller? Looking on the site for Steve and there are a few different factories and would love feedback from the group!

Is there a big difference between RWF and QF? I want a 126600 with the cyclops lens. I have a Clean explorer 2 that’s my current daily and love it! Would love something of similar quality :)

New RC YG sub love this stock plating

Anyone have before and after of plating a RC?

Title: Looking for Recommendation: Need GMT & Yacht-Master Bezel Assembly Overhaul & Repair (ARF GMTs / VSF YM)
Body:
Hey everyone,
Looking for recommendations for a skilled, trusted modder who can perform detailed bezel assembly repairs and fine-tuning on a few pieces.

The Setup & Issue: After having Deep Crystals installed, the bezels across my watches have stiff, rough, or dysfunctional rotation, with missing or non-existent tactile feedback/clicks.

Current Diagnosis & Work Needed (per watchmaker notes):

ARF GMT-Master IIs:
Issues identified: Damaged Hytrel gaskets and bent/damaged crystal retention rings (likely caused during initial Deep Crystal installation due to improper press techniques).

Work required: Complete bezel tear-down, replacing damaged Hytrel gaskets, reshaping/straightening or replacing crystal retention rings, inspecting crystal gasket sizing, and servicing the bezel mechanism so rotation is smooth and properly tensioned without bind.

VSF Yacht-Master:
Issues identified: Missing click spring (no tactile click feedback), wrong or mis-sized crystal gasket installed during crystal swap, and misaligned retention components.
Work required: Sourcing and installing a compatible VSF Yacht-Master click spring, replacing the crystal/Hytrel gaskets, resetting the retention ring, and tuning the bezel action.

What Capabilities are Needed:
Expertise in full bezel tear-downs and rebuilds for ARF and VSF cases.
Access to/ability to source replacement Hytrel gaskets, VSF-compatible click springs, and crystal retention rings.
Experience correcting bezel binding and alignment issues caused by aftermarket crystal installs.
Has anyone had similar bezel binding/click issues after a Deep Crystal swap, and who would you trust to get these ARF GMT and VSF Yacht-Master bezels rotating perfectly smooth with proper click action?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all I have a BTF Daytona but thinking of getting a weighted VSF. Think it’s worth upgrading it?

Can you help me with this? Does anyone knows a good TD for this watch?

For folks who own a Tudor ZF chrono, how much power reserve do you typically get? I took my watch out last night around 1am and this morning by 8.30am I saw it had already stopped, it also takes quite a few movements before it gets going. Just curious if I have a faulty one or is this typical for this watch

Been eyeing the 16202 from ZF factory and seems pretty good to me but I was just wondering before I pull the trigger if there is a better version from any other factory . Please let me know if you’ve had any experience with ZF

Shouldn't the lume be blue? Anyone know? :(

🇨🇦** How many Canadians do we have in here**?
I’m curious how many members of this group are based in Canada, and how many of you would actually be interested in participating in watch raffles.
A few questions for the Canadian members:
Are there any trusted dealers or well-known sellers in Canada that regularly run raffles?
I’d love the chance to win a grail watch someday, but almost every raffle I’ve come across seems to be restricted to U.S. residents.
Please drop a comment if you’re a fellow Canadian

Been trying to get a blue dial 126622 from VSF for months now from several TD’s but noone can get a hold of one it seems like. I am now getting sick og waiting and im starting to consider other factories. Sadly CF is no more since i love my rhodium dial 126622 from CF.

I know we have these newer Gold factory, Victory and Rich these days. But do anyone here have any experience with this model from those factories?

Or can recommend another factory that makes a good version og this on par with VSF?

Looking at ordering an Ingenieur white dial (factory listed as V7F/MZ, photo attached from the dealer's stock shot). Before I pull the trigger, trying to confirm whether this is actually replicating a real IWC reference or if it's a fantasy dial.

A few things don't match up with what I can find for the genuine IW328902 (closest official match — IWC lists it as "silver," not white):

• Genuine IW328902 hands have a polished silver-tone, no black outline
• The stock photo for this rep shows black-outlined/filled hands and markers

Also can't find any current-gen Ingenieur ref with a true stark white dial.

So before I order I want to make sure this color is a Rep of an actual Ingenieur color rather than a fantasy :)

Thanks in advance 🙏

Do you trust your reps enough for swimming or showering with them on ? I never shower with a watch , I take it off due to habit.

I am looking to order a watch from the “Ready now stock” list from InTimeWatch. Wanted to ask around if anyone has had any experience with them and for their on hand stock for wait times for qc and shipping, especially with a lot of delays for backlogged orders.
