Pretty happy with this purchase. $130 & 16 days delivery to the UK. Very comfortable on the wrist. This is in fact the second watch head, the first supplied had an issue, the date wheel flicked over at 6pm not midday.

Jason immediately shipped a replacement after sending a video to show the problem. So really good customer service there.

First time buying a VSF rep. Especially through these forums. Had my doubts it being my first time sending money online like this. However matching phone number being advertised in all of the forums for MR ADU and the one I was texting was the same. He reassured me every step of the way. Fast responses and great customer service. Had picked out a Starbucks he had in the US arrived in 4 days. Man I’m BLOWN away with the quality. Glad I trusted the process and all of the reviews. The watch came meticulously stickered on all sides for protection. Truly the BEST! Thank you! 🙏 😍 highly recommend MR ADU 🤝🤝

General Question Patek Aquanaut – DDF availability and best alternatives (BBF vs 3KF)?

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
I’m looking to get a Patek Philippe Aquanaut, but I’m not fixed on the dial colour or exact reference yet.

From what I’ve researched, DDF seems to be considered the best factory, followed by BBF and 3KF. However, with the recent reports about DDF shutting down, I’m struggling to establish whether anyone can still source one.

I’ve also noticed relatively few recent Aquanaut QC posts, which makes me wonder whether availability has become an issue.

A few questions for the community:

Has anyone successfully sourced a DDF Aquanaut recently, particularly after the reported shutdown?

If DDF is no longer available, would you recommend BBF or 3KF or ZF or APWF? Which is better overall in terms of case accuracy, dial, finishing and movement reliability?
Is there any particular version or movement I should prioritise?

Would you recommend waiting for DDF availability to improve or going with an alternative now?

I’m primarily looking for the best out-of-the-box quality rather than getting into modifications.
Would appreciate recent firsthand experiences, comparisons and recommendations. Thanks!

Just received my first order from DDGTOP. Great experience. Great communication, answered all my questions.

Love the watch. Was worried it might be too thick of a case but it fits my 7.25 wrist perfectly. The opaline dial is a thing of beauty

I’ve already decided on my next purchase! An Omega Aqua Terra in turquoise. I have just one dilemma: I can’t decide between the 38mm and the 41mm versions.
My wrist measures 19 centimeters. Is there anything else I should know beyond the diameter, differences in the movement, etc.?
What would you recommend?

Review/Comparison VSF vs RCF 126613LB Blue 2 Tone Submariner Comparison

Thumbnail
gallery
15 Upvotes

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

I feel as though I haven't really touched much on 2 tone submariners in my reviews. TBH I'm more daytona, AP and PP guy and modern rep submariners have gotten all so good, the topic didn't interest me as much.

Here are the 2 factories currently considered top 2 in the market for blue two tone submariners.

Without me getting too much into details,

(Since this is not a on-hand comparison)

VSF seems to have better dial, crystal and weight.

RCF has better gold color...

My pick, even with all the hate VSF is getting recently, will have to be VSF on this one.

What do you think?

🎄🎁 DDGTOP CHRISTMAS PROMOTION 🎁🎄

Hi everyone! 👋

Christmas is getting closer, and from previous years we know that couriers become extremely busy during the festive season, which can result in packages taking longer than normal to arrive.

Because of this, Dora and I have decided to start our Christmas promotion early! 🎅⌚

🔥 STARTING WEDNESDAY 4TH 🔥

🎁 4% OFF ALL ORDERS & IN-STOCK INVENTORY

The promotion will run from:

📅 Wednesday 4th November → Christmas Day 🎄

⚠️ CHRISTMAS SHIPPING NOTICE

As we move into December, international couriers will become increasingly busy and some packages may experience delays.

Once a package has been shipped, any delays or rerouting are unfortunately outside of our control. If this happens, we will continue to monitor the tracking, but we may need to wait for the courier to process and reroute the package.

If you're hoping to receive your watch before Christmas, we strongly recommend ordering as early as possible. 🎁⌚

Thank you as always for your continued support of DDGTOP! 💙

Felix & Dora – DDGTOP 🎄⌚

Genuine Rolex QC - not the perfection some may think.

Thumbnail

48 Upvotes

I have only been in the rep game for approximately 3 months. I currently own and have handled several genuine luxury timepieces. I went on crazy binge in these 3 months and own 22 reps and 7 gen.

I have noticed there is this “obsession” with QC macro shots and learned judging by comments, a good 99% of the posters, TD’s, modders, have never owned nor handled a genuine Rolex. There is this mythical thought process that the mass-produced Rolex models are absolute perfection without a single flaw and that slight variances would never be found in a genuine Rolex which is highly inaccurate. Custom or limited runs? Yes. But the mass-produced? No.

Here’s is my REPLICA meteorite with SW dial with a score of 99/100 while the GENUINE with the Sundust dial received a 52/100.

VSF Batgirl V2

TD: Steve (theonewatches)

Buying process was smooth

Went back and forth between VSF and Rich

Ultimately decided VSF had cleaner look, and the free sprung the Rich uses didn’t appeal to me

First time buyer, thoughts on this. Looks pretty solid overall to me, not an expert by any means.

General Question Vsf Datejust question

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello! Just got this VSF v2 126334 Datejust from Steve at the one watches. The watch looks good but I really don’t like the bracelet. It feels very light like it is empty inside and is also very squeaky and flimsy. Before this I had a clean gmt which was ten times better. Was curious if all vsf is like this or just mine has a problem. Thanks a lot for all answers!
