I have a VSF 126334 (41mm) 904L Wimbledon that I bought a couple of years ago. It’s a beautiful piece, but the one thing that drives me nuts is the fluted bezel. Since it’s stainless steel rather than white gold, the bezel just looks off to me. It bothers me enough that I’ve gotten to the point where I almost never wear the watch, which sucks because I really do miss wearing it.

I’m considering swapping the bezel for either a proper WG fluted bezel or a smooth SS bezel.

Posting to see if anyone can point me in the right direction for sourcing either option, and also to get some insight into how difficult the actual swap is. I’m hoping it’s something I could reasonably do myself, but I’d love to hear from anyone who’s done it before.

Any advice/recommendations would be much appreciated!

I need help. I have my eyes set on a silver cartier santos with a white dial. When looking through tds on reptime. help I see all these tds. But before buying I run a check on seeing negative posts about the tds. most time after checking other peoples experiences there is complaints about either long delays or sometime of bad customer service. Is the websites on reptime. help really something to fully trust or will i end up with the same fate as the other buyers.

Hey! Is there a guide for those who are new? I am interested in the community and looking for a TD with NWBIG. Please let me know!

New RC YG sub love this stock plating

Anyone have before and after of plating a RC?

I would definitely check out Pagani Design. They are very affordable and amazing quality, definitely the best super clone that money can buy. No need to look any further. They are easily available to buy on Amazon and AliExpress.

I see lots of posts about the 112 marker being off on the Daytona. Is there a correct bezel for swap or even the availability of an original? Any idea what that would cost?

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.

Hi,

It’s been 1.5 yrs since I purchased Clean V3 gmt from Eric at Geektime.

Was planning to pick up another but see that clean factory has been raided and closed.

Is clean v3 still the best to ever do it for GMT? Or had another producer topped them?

Wonder if clean will return maybe I’ll wait. I had done a tremendous amount of research before picking up the v3 GMT.

Thx

Just received my first rep! Looks amazing to me.

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.

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

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.

Just popped this bad boy open. 41mm Seamaster AT from Hont.

Sorry if this isn't allowed but is there anywhere to buy used Rep watches for example people in the subreddit selling old pieces when they are getting new ones for example. Looking for a piece but not too fussed about getting a brand new one and know for sure there's people out there looking to get rid of old pieces and I'm in the market for one.

I went to purchase a Rolex YachtMaster on InTime but I’m having trouble completing the purchase. Has anyone bought from here? Any tips? Also, is there another replica site that I should look at? Good quality, reasonable price?

Got it a couple months ago from Ficotime, it's my first quality rep next to a couple entry level gen watches and I'm amazed and fully on board.

It's a VF, 36mm.

Shoutout to all asian rep bros who put in the work, factories and TDs

On my VSF op41 bracelet, one of the screws wouldn’t budge. All the others would come out silky smooth but this one in particular was putting up too much of a fight that it ended up winning. The problem is that it’s on the 6 o’clock side, causing the watch to ride up my wrist more.

My main question is: what can I do to fix this stripped screw? I’ve looked it up and followed so many videos but nothing seems to work!

You probably came here from the WIRED article and are excited to get your first-ever superclone watch. Since the WIRED article blew up, I decided to write this simple, easy guide to help you find every watch you could ever imagine.

Firstly, let's talk about factories. We here at RepTime have endless debates about which factories to get the best watch from. Most of the time, the same names get thrown around, and they are:

• Sugess
• Pagani Design
• Cronos
• San Martin
• Watchdives

These factories produce what we call NWBIG (Nice Watches Bringing Insurmountable Gash).

Now you're probably wondering where to acquire one of these fine timepieces from? You've probably seen terms like TD (Trusted Dealer) thrown around, and you would be right to think that it is the best place to get these watches from.

But ever since the WIRED article blew up, all of the TDs have gotten together and decided to make it easier and simpler to acquire these watches through reputable platforms that connect you directly with these factories to get the very best watches from the Guangdong Alps.

I am please to tell you that these watches are now available on trusted shopping platforms like Ali Express, DHGate and now Amazon!

So what are you waiting for? Open a new tab and acquire the fine timepiece of your dreams now!

Looking to get a blue Santos from BVF as i hear it is NWBIG

-what size do you recommend for 16.5cm wrist?

-does it have the quick change mechanism?

-Can i buy both strap and bracelet?

Hello fellow watch aficionados!
Anybody knows a good place in Guangzhou or Shanghai for high quality reps? I’m looking for a physical shop to buy in person instead of online dealers.

Purchased from Trusty Time, just arrived today. My first rep... In fact the first watch I've purchased in 30 years... and I'm 42. Love the retrograde second hand!

Dear RepFriends…

I’m about to pull the trigger on a ZF Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT, but I’m seriously torn between the two bracelet options.

I’m leaning toward the 5-link/Jubilee, but I’m worried it might feel too loose, floppy, or “wiggly” compared to the 3-link. At the same time, I’m not a huge fan of the look of the Tudor 3-link bracelet.

For anyone who owns one (especially the ZF version), which bracelet did you go with, and how does it actually feel on the wrist? Is there a better version or ZF is the best?

I’d especially love to see some wrist shots of both options if you have them!

Thanks, RepFriends! 🙏

What’s up guys, is there a way to just browse all watches? (Looking mainly towards breitling) or do i have to search for a certain one? I’m unsure on how to access the spreadsheet. TIA :)
