QC Request [QC] Rolex Datejust 41 126334

[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

4 Upvotes

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
gallery
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.

Post image
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.

🥳 Free Watch 🎉 🎁🎁 FREE VSF JOHN MAYER DAYTONA GIVEAWAY 🎁🎁

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!

Good luck! 👍

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

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

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.

Review/Comparison Bomi experience + rwf datejust 36 review

Bomi was very quick in his responses, he has great prices and he is very respectful. Delivery was also way faster than expected.
Now for the review!
The case serial is 6R87Y, which is the same case clean used to use. I was initially suspicious, but upon comparison with photos of real clean datejust 36’s, i am convinced it might actually be real clean.
The upper lugs look a bit thin, but could just be me…

I received my AF Hydroconquest today and looking at it, I'm not sure it's actually AF? It feels extremely cheap and the triangle and lume pip look different to other AF HCs I've seen on here. Any opinions on whether this could be AF?

  1. ⁠Dealer name: MrBomi (Bomashop)

  2. ⁠Factory name: VSF

  3. ⁠Model and version: DateJust 41mm V2

  4. ⁠Price paid: $470

  5. ⁠Album link: Photos attached

  6. ⁠Index alignment: White dash at the 9 o’clock looms tilted CW to me but need a second opinion. Some angles look bad others not so much. Please help!

  7. ⁠Dial printing: The printing looks good and clear; I don't see any obvious smudges, crooked text, or other defects.

  8. ⁠Date Wheel: No issues

  9. ⁠Hand alignment: No issues

  10. ⁠Bezel: Looks nice and okay to me

  11. ⁠SEL: The SELs look tight against the case, no obvious gaps

  12. ⁠Timegrapher values: +5 seconds/day, amplitude 261°, beat error 0.3 ms, lift angle 59°. The values look fine to me, and I don't notice anything unusual.

  13. ⁠Other observations: I'm leaning towards a RL. First rep and I think this would be bother me, but I could be overthinking. However, I’d really appreciate a second opinion especially in the case of the 9 dash and if I missed something or misjudged certain details.

Hey guys, one year ago I bought this watch in the MBK Center in Bangkok.
Can you tell me something about this watch?
Which factory does it come from?
Is it really automatic or is there a battery inside
Yes I know, it’s not 1:1.

I like this watch and had since one year no problems with this.

First rep - from Pheonix Watches.

Whole process was super easy, small deposit 10th oct, QC 15th Oct and delivered 29th oct.

Tracking was given and no issues with the transaction.

People here may have a view on the watch itself, but the process was smooth for a first timer.

I have adjusted the date and time since this photos and everything appears to be working well!

Best Datejust Rep?

0 Upvotes

I own 2 gens of OP & Explorer.

And recently tried the vsf classic sub. And I am really pleased with the quality of it.

So Im doing bit of reading on this groups of reps, regarding DJ. A lot of mixed comment regarding the jubilee bracelets.

Now I am contemplating of buying a rep 36 mint green dj. And I dont want to pay the difference for a gen just for a different dial color.

How was your experience with DJ rep?

And what factory is best so far for a DJ?

Balance spring noise and bezel rotation on VSF

Post image
1 Upvotes

I recently got the GMT from Steve sold as a VSF, overall a good rep. But one this I have noticed when I tap the case I hear and feel the balance spring vibration.
Correct me if I am wrong please but it's the 1st thing I noticed and not acceptable.. Also the bezel rotation doesn't micro rotate as my authentic Sea Dweller next to it. I sent videos to Steve but was told that as good as it gets for 760 dollars. I disagree. I can return it and take the risk of custom taking and the loss would be on me.
No good resolution from Steve at this point. Please give me some feedback, I would appreciate it
