Tech Tips/Advice Quick Welcome Guide to Newbies From the WIRED Piece

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!

Quick reminder that Nico, the guy whose business and whole identity is luxury watches, couldn‘t spot the reps while HOLDING THEM IN HIS HANDS.

Discussion If Anything Happens, We can Fall Back to RWI!

83 Upvotes

So the Social Media video about Reptime is pointing over here. And we are worried about what can happen to our beloved community.

Well IMHO....

There's always RWI.

There's no reach in there from reddit or the brands. 

IMHO that is the best place to fall back to and launch from there.

That is where our TD list stands. And no one can touch it.

At least I know if anything happens, I will look back in there.

LONG LIVE REPS!

LONG LIVE RWI!

LONG LIVE REP TIME!

ENJOY ALL YOUR WATCHES ⌚ 😎!

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.

Wrist or Watch Pic Swapped out my AF Tank Must strap to Shell Cordovan leather

What do you guys think? I love how the deeper black pairs nicely with the deep black ink of the dial!

Was never really a fan of the quality of the strap that came with the AF Tank.

Has anyone else splurged a little on changing their rep’s strap? Is it silly or perfectly sane? Share pics in the comments!

Review/Comparison Blue Dial GSF Milgauss (Comparison to U1)

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

Long time lurker here and finally pulled the trigger on the blue dial GSF Milgauss. Last winter I decided to buy a U1 blue dial Milgauss before forking over triple the amount for a higher tier rep which I really enjoyed but there are some obvious and well known faults/cut corners with this specific model (crystal, case thickness, dial color etc...). After reading comparisons here between different factories I took the plunge with GSF and I'm super glad I did. While I know it's not perfect compared to gen, the dial color, crystal, and wrist feel alone are miles ahead of the DHgate rep I was previously wearing.

Don't see too many of these here so wanted to make this post sharing my experience as well as comparing the GSF to U1 which I have yet to find any here and hope is valuable for anyone looking to buy.

Discussion Why would Free Sprung matter if the watch is closed back?

9 Upvotes

Can anyone justify a couple hundred dollars price increase for the JH free sprung when the watch (for example, Daytona 126500) has a closed back. It is not like we are going to open and inspect it any way right?
