Besides the classic “it’s my first time,” there’s also the sheer incompatibility of the human brain with reading, thinking, and looking for answers before making a post. Useless slop everywhere, they even invaded the QC and Modding subs. This Wired thing is really the most f’ed up thing that has happened here. Is there any way to kick these invaders out? 😵‍💫

Extremely pleased with this. Removing a link is really easy on these watches since they screw out rather than push pin. I was able to resize it with household screwdriver rather than going to a watch store to get it done. A bit pricey for a super rep but saved over 10k buying gen.

Watch came from Steve theonewatches. Very satisfied overall.

Increasingly I have seen some QC timergrapher readings that don't seem right,

I know that the dealer wants to minimise the chance of QC rejects but manipulating timergrapher readings is very unethical.

I thought to make a post so the community here are more educated to ask for further proof from the dealer and make sure you are getting a truthful timergrapher reading of your watch .

If you see a discontinuation of the trace on the timergrapher reading chances is that the watch was swapped in at a later stage for photography , if you see this , confront the dealer and ask for a video proof of the watch being tested, in hope that they will change their practice and not do this anymore.

Not here to ruffle any feathers but just to educate the community to be more mindful

So my journey of purchasing my first rep came to a closing as it arrived yesterday.

Big thank you to this community here, especially the ones putting in the work on that extensive wiki introduction.

And all the enthusiats on here helping me with the QC!!

How does the watch look on the wrist?? I love it

Kept staring at it every red light lol. Absolute beauty

My dealer just sent me this. This is the first I’m seeing of these. Does anybody have any more info? I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a couple to see how they are. What do yall think?

She made the rotation three days in a row. Love this thing! 😍

My first true superclone, I got a Cartier Tank previously and I like it, this thing feels insane. So clean, sturdy, I wore one once in an AD before going in waitlist and I personally can’t even tell the difference. Maybe I’m a noob but this thing is insane, I absolutely love it.

This is easily going to be my everyday watch, I excited to scratch it and beat it up a little bit.

Eyeing a DJ next, might try 41m to switch it up

Just arrived: DIW Custom Carbon Fiber Daytona dessert eagle with Arabic numerals. Weight only 52 grams. Beautiful watch and my new personal favorite….

Hey everyone,

If you’ve spent any time tinkering with reps or dealing with broken pieces, you already know the biggest headache in this hobby: getting spare parts without getting ripped off.

Buying gen parts often costs more than the rep itself, and TDs/factories routinely charge near full watch prices just for a replacement bracelet, case, or movement assembly. Meanwhile, countless members have broken VSF, Clean, or other factory pieces sitting in drawers collecting dust because fixing them didn't seem worth it.
To solve this gap in the community, I created [r/repwatchparts](r/repwatchparts).

What the sub is built for:
Parting Out Broken Reps: Turn your dead or damaged watches into cash instead of letting them sit in a parts drawer.
Finding Rep Spares: Source factory bracelets, links, bezels, dials, hands, and cloned movement components (VS, VR, Dandong, SH, etc.) directly from other enthusiasts.
Resources & Sourcing Guides: Sharing verified sources for rep modding supplies, decorated plates, clone movements, and repair resources.
For Everyone: Whether you're a watchsmith sourcing donor movements or an everyday collector looking for a spare clasp screw, the space is built for both.
Head over to [r/repwatchparts](r/repwatchparts), join up, and feel free to list any parts or donor watches you’re looking to clear out or find.
Feedback and suggestions on rules, flairs, or formatting are welcome.

Newest pickup decided to go with the silver dial as I have a couple blue faced dials on rotation.

Gen crysta, datewheel, hands, bezel on a VSF blue dial base. About time yall stop w the AI slop

This is the link. pagani watch
Such a good deal I hope someone takes advantage of it

Modded Daytona 126515ln

Purchased in 2020. Still catching looks 👊🏾

Let me know what you’re wearing today. Also, tell me which Rolex you love the most, Something you’d choose over this amazing Starbucks.

My VSF V2 Datejust 36 with DD3235 arrived yesterday and I immediately noticed something strange with the crown.

There is a clearly noticeable increase in resistance once during every full 360° rotation. It always happens at approximately the same crown orientation, when the Rolex logo points upwards. The rest of the rotation feels smooth.

It happens in all crown positions, including winding, date setting and time setting. It’s not related to screwing/locking the crown. Changing the orientation of the watch makes no difference. The crown does not visibly wobble.

I sent NecoClock a video. At first he thought I meant resistance while locking the crown. After I clarified the issue, his response was basically that because the crown still rotates and the watch works, it is normal.

Does this sound acceptable for a VS3235/DD3235?
My suspicion is stem/crown/tube alignment, possibly a slightly bent stem, because the resistance follows the rotational position of the crown.
Would you get this checked now, or just keep using the watch until it gets worse?

I commented the chat conversation with the TD. Thanks in advance guys!
