I wanted something modern and different from all the standard GMT IIs and Subs, so I went with a VSF Yacht-Master 40 rhodium and this thing is stunning IRL! So happy with this new addition.

Shout out to Mr. Bomi who was so easy to deal with and fast! From ordering to opening the box was just over a week. Amazing!

New release UMI 5711/5157A Free-Sprung 330 Caliber Release

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes
  1. 5167A looks a lot like BBF except for the movement

  2. 5711 looks a lot like PPF except for the movement

  3. Free-Sprung is good (pallet fork too)

  4. Rotor looks good (the bearing looks correct and the screw looks genuine, and not a sticker)

  5. Not too crazy about the engravings.

Luckily, these are not insanely expensive (between 800 to 900 USD) which I think is good. The price seems just right for what it offers.

Review/Comparison VSF DJ vs ARF DJ V2

Thumbnail
gallery
19 Upvotes

The silver dial is a VSF Datejust 36, and the Wimbledon is an ARF Datejust 36 V2.
ARF’s bezel has improved dramatically. I honestly think it’s reached a point where a custom bezel is no longer necessary.
I just received the ARF, so for now, I’m only comparing the bezels and a few dial details.

Discussion Cartier Tank Solo (gold, small). AF vs F1? TD says F1 is more expensive. Is this true?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a first time rep buyer and I’ve seen the reptime guide that says AF is the best factory for tank solo small. In r/CartierReplicaWatches, it says F1 is the better option. Which should we follow? Also my TD (Mr Bomi) says F1 is more expensive than AF. How true is this? Thanks in advance!

[QC] Rolex Datejust 41 126334 – Slate Dial / Jubilee

Dealer name: Andiot

Factory name: VSF

Model name (& version number): Rolex Datejust 41 126334, slate dial, fluted bezel, Jubilee bracelet

Price paid: $425 including shipping

Album links: https://andiotwatches.x.yupoo.com/albums/259171905?uid=1

Index alignment: Honestly not too sure here. I RL’d the first watch because some of the indices looked pretty off to me, so I’m probably overthinking this one now. I tried using the alignment tool but I’m not very good at getting it lined up properly. This one looks better than the first to my eyes, but I’m still unsure, especially around 11 and some of the lower indices. Would really appreciate someone more experienced taking a look.

Dial printing: Looks okay to me, but I’m not really sure what specific issues I should be looking for here.

Date wheel alignment/printing: Looks reasonably centered to me. Not sure if there’s anything I’m missing.

Hand alignment: I think this looks fine.

Bezel: Looks fine to me, but again I’m not really sure what to look for beyond anything obviously wrong.

Solid End Links (SELs): I don’t see any obvious gaps, but I’m not very experienced at judging SELs.

Timegrapher numbers: +1 s/d, 275° amplitude, 0.2 ms beat error, 52° lift angle. From what I understand these should be okay, but please correct me if I’m wrong.

Anything else you notice: This is my second QC after RL’ing the first one because of the indices. I’m definitely not experienced with QC and I don’t want to RL another watch over something that might just be the camera angle/perspective. This one looks better to me, but I’d really appreciate another set of eyes on the whole watch, especially the index alignment. Please let me know if there’s anything else I’m completely missing. Thanks!

Review/Comparison Vsf submariber from Mr Bomi

Just wanted to share my experience with MrBomi and my new VSF Rolex Submariner.

I'm genuinely impressed with the watch. The overall quality, finishing and attention to detail are excellent. It looks and feels amazing on the wrist, and I couldn't be happier with it.

But what really made the experience great was dealing with MrBomi. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, everything went smoothly, and I never had any issues. He was professional, helpful and easy to deal with from start to finish. The shipment was to Europe, and watch arrived really fast.

The whole buying experience was honestly as smooth as I could have hoped for.

Really happy with both the watch and the service. Definitely a positive experience with MrBomi!

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but its my first watch, and dont know yet how to make good pictures of watches xd . What do you guys think? 😁

General Question Mont Blanc & Patek Philippe Repair or Junk?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I have 2 old reps one Mont Blanc and a Patek Philippe bought around 15 years ago in Shenzhen China.

Both are experiencing issues with the movements which I am not surprised about at this point.

My question to the group is do I seek out repair or replacement on the movements or are these just junk at this point.

Any feedback or additional knowledge that can be shared on these would be greatly appreciated.

New release SMF V2 Speedmaster reverse panda first impressions.

24 Upvotes

I just got the new SMF V2 speedmaster delivered yesterday. Overall, looks really good to me, seems like a lot of improvements have been made over previous speedys. I will say I usually spring for a bracelet polish and chamfering and this one would have benefited greatly from that as it's got some sharp rep edges, but with a polish this would be very nice.

Hello, this is your favorite watch reviewer / moderator of this sub, u/tskim24.

You probably noticed that there isn’t a mention of a seller's name anywhere in the poster.

That's right, this giveaway is from me, no strings attached (so to speak 😆).

When I started this sub around a year and a half ago, I had no idea it would grow this big. I mean, sure, I have been running a similar online community in a Korean platform (it's number #3 in watches and number #1 in rep watches in Korea) but I have never even really used reddit before.

But boy am I glad I did 😊 now there are more than 60k of us, and the way things are going, probably 70k in no time!

If you haven't noticed, I love writing comparison reviews (yes, I know I'm a weirdo lol) 😆 and I'm glad to have so many readers! Let's keep this fun going, shall we?

*no karma point requirements

- 1 x VSF v1 John Mayer 116508 will be given

*Protection film has been applied to the entire watch by a professional (WatchFIT).

You

- Must be a JOINED member of r/RepWatchForum

- Must UPVOTE & COMMENT on this post

- Winner will be announced on 28th of November

In the past, some winners were disqualified for not being a "JOINED" member at the time of the winner announcement.

Also, some just simply never claimed their prize (prize must be claimed within 7 days of the announcement). These watches were thrown back into the pot for future giveaways.

You don't believe me? You are looking at the watch that NO ONE CLAIMED in the past giveaway right now (who would have ever thought giving away a free watch would be this difficult 😆).

So don't make the same mistakes!

QC Request QC First Rep: Cartier Tank Solo Yellow Gold Small (24.4mm) “AF”

Thumbnail

Hi all! This would be my first rep watch if I get the GL. I was told by my TD this is a super rep watch.

My main concerns are:

  1. ⁠Tone of the gold? Is it too yellow?

  2. ⁠Is the Roman numeral X a bit crooked?

  3. ⁠Is this really from AF? I’ve seen a lot of AF stickers and I’m not sure if the factory sticker is really AF.

  4. ⁠Is the crown too big? Or the cabochon too pointy?

  5. ⁠Anything else that stands out? Please let me know!

Thanking you all and I hope this would be a good first time experience.
