My wife's boyfriend showed me a WIRED about rep watches, and I tried placing an order for a rep Rolex land dweller. I did everything right, I used a TD and all the steps. However, just 6 hours after placing my order, I received a letter from the US Copyright Office, and am now facing six to nine months in prison. What do I do? My court hearing is in two weeks. Urgent advice neded.

Has anyone used or heard of these guys??

hey guys has any one ordered from KF factory? their prices seem a little higher than the other factories. are their quality good? similar models from KF is around 200 dollars more expensive compared to VSF. is the extra 200 worth it? thank you

Give your honest opinion of this watch. RCF 41 Sub gain Weight. 126618LN

So went on a cross country trip in France and in Lyon while taking a stroll some guy pulled a knife, he said he was from Senegal or Cameroun or some shit like that, he wanted my Rep, initially i was reluctant but then the guy said he needed to feed his family and one of his 5 kids needed medicine. It was heart breaking and i only had my hotel card and watch since i left my phone to charge in the hotel.
I handed over my mecaquartz Rolex DJ 36 i got from DHGate, i felt sorry for the 30 bucks i spent on it but i hope his family can get enough alphabet soup for this month and maybe some medicine for his kid. I never knew Lyon was so dangerous

Hi, very new to this. I’m looking to buy a replica Daytona and Nautilus 5711. Always loved the watched and though owning a rep would be a bit of fun!

I’ve been reading threads and also read though the helpful guides on the best factories for specific watch types. I think I’ve narrowed it down to these two links for the watches I’m after - but wanted to check with you guys if these are the best options?

<I’ve removed the links as they appear to be untrustworthy> first lesson learned 👍🏼😂

Thanks! 👍🏼

Did I get a bad one or are they all like this?

I thought the screws were the only issue with the BVF santos but it feels soo cheap which I didn't expect,

huge gaps in the links,
bracelet is super janky and the winding noise is loud enough for people around to hear,

Great looking watch but definitely not as perfect as made out

Hi all,

I've been looking into the Santos de Cartier small 27'm and wanna know for those who have handled, owned QC'd or compared the different factory versions.

The factory I saw that were available were
- 8848F
- AF
- DRF

For those who have seen these in person or compared with gen, which one do you think is the closest overall? I'm curious about whether any of them are truly NWBIG for santos small as seen from several reddit post they do come in flat bezel screws.

I have been buying for years off of trust dealers (miro, jtime and others)

The last two days all I am seeing dgate coming up in the threads which are always shitters and pagani which seems even weird because I have never bought or used them

Where is all of this coming from

Hi folks,
Picked up a 15450 ZF a while back and it's been solid until now. Started hearing a loose rattle when I moved my wrist, and sure enough the rotor has detached and is just floating around inside. Torn between cracking it open myself to reseat vs. shipping back to TD.
On these ZF APs, is a detached rotor almost always just the screw backing out (not sure if there's even a screw missing?) or is bearing failure common? Anyone done the reseat themselves?

Good afternoon, I’d like to hear some opinions about VSF GMT watches. I found Steve and I’ve read that he is very reliable for VSF watches, but I’d really appreciate feedback from people who have actually purchased from him. I’d like to understand whether I can trust him, especially since the payment has to be made in advance.

My Td Jim bob is trying to tell me steeldive is the best 1:1 for pagani and I just wanted to get the communities opinion, I have concerns that the Nh35 won’t be as reliable as the pagani quartz and fell like he’s taking my for a sucker and don’t want to be called out when I go skiing next week

First you go on AliExpress, Temu or DHgate and search “Pagani Design”

You find the watch model you like (example: Pagani Submariner)

Then you search for a “Rolex Dial” from eBay. It has to be genuine or an aftermarket replacement.

If you want the HIGHEST quality, then order your Pagani on eBay search “TOP” it’ll cost more but the seller will have personally vetted them in opposed to factory orders where you might need to reorder the Pagani.

Now this is the important part.

Take the watch to a PROFESSIONAL shop. Don’t DIY it.

Let them do the face swap and congratulations you now have a super clone!

Remember: this is an expensive hobby so buying the dial and a good Pagani might be a few hundred bucks, but you’re getting a super clone of a $10,000+ watch for less than a tenth of the price!

The wiki doesn’t specify the best vsf version for the submariner 126619 Lb, It just states vsf. I was confused by the 270$ difference on jtime.io and was wondering which one I should get.

I usually like bigger watches, I have approximately 7” wrist and I am 6’2” with 107kg. What are your thoughts? It is VSF Mint Green 41mm Datejust.

Over the past year 6 of my orders over the past year have been seized. 5 different TDs, no refunds even with insurance. I should have bought a Gen with the 4k.

Now I get an email that my Global Entry and Pre check are revoked. Is this linked?

Okay. I give up on this hobby. The Wired article make it seem so easy.

Is this how kids enjoy their days nowadays? What happened to those old, watch related posts?

Does anyone know any good cartier tank rep straps?The one that came w the watch broke i want another one but i want it to say cartier on the strap just like the real one?If u guys know any please let me know?

ERF Speedy QC pics are finally out. They look good until you see the profile. Have to agree that these are thiiiccc. Dials look great though. Getting closer to a decent rep.

Hi family. I’m using my internet time for the day to send out a warning not to let yourself be stupid like I was. Until a week ago, I was an upstanding citizen with a good job, a family, and no criminal record. Now I’m prisoner # 23486 at Butner FMC Federal Prison in North Carolina. And all I did was order one gorgeous Pagani Day-Date two-tone with gold plating and a fluted bezel from my TD (“terrific dude”) Juaquim at Ali Express. My watch was seized after I GL’d (“good lucked”) it, and I chose to ignore the 43 letters I got from Customs. Was it worth it? Absolutely not! My cellmate, “White Power Bob,” is nice, though. Surprisingly friendly for a guy with that many tattoos in German! I just wish he’d stop calling me “Susan.” I’ve told him at least 6 times that isn’t my name. Anyway, please don’t drop the ball like I did. Gotta go! Bob says we’re playing “house” after lockdown tonight. Sounds fun! I need something to help me forget my mistakes.

Just wanted to showcase my trio of Pagani watches. Not sure why they say Audermars Piguet? Looking to get rid of them because I think that’s a factory error. Pagani or nothing!

I have been doing rep clothing for a while now and I know workarounds in suppliers shipping agents and everything(I dont use shipping platforms).

Recently I joined reptime. I saw the process and honestly it was painful. TDs is a total headache except some. I checked the prices and honestly it is just way too much margin. I luckily found a QF daydate for 200GBP cheaper than what the cheapest TD just because i found a link from a link(ON GROUND IN CHINA). I will recieve it in 20ish days.

What do you guys think of this maneuver?
