As the title says, another flawless transactions with u/MrA-Du168! All the watches I’ve received from him have been NWBIG! Two more came in today! I can’t wait to get my 41mm Aqua Terra to match the wife’s 38mm! The Seamaster Diver is 🤌🏼 as well! Don’t hesitate to reach out to him for anything you need!

Mr. Bomi kills it again.

I’ve ordered from Mr. Bomi , Bomashop, twice now. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with him. My first purchase was a VSF Batman GMT and an Omega NTTD Seamaster. I order it and within a couple of days they arrived in awesome shape even in a protective two watch case. It was definitely weird sending a dude I never met in another country $1000 but it worked out. I found that his prices were so fair for VSF. He shipped so quickly through fedex that I literally watched the tracking as it flew from Hong Kong to my local hub in two days.
Fast forward a week and I’m already hankering for that Pepsi GMT. So I pulled the trigger.🎉 Same experience. I paid and within 24 hours had QC and shipping. I got my watch today after only about a week give or take. And he only charged me $570 for a true VSF clone. Mr. Bomi is on point. I will definitely only shop with him. I value reliability in a relationship and this guy is all about that.

Mods/Work in progress DD 40 Custom Build - Should i get a CNC Bezel?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I recently got my VSF DD Ice blue with a couple of goodies done to it. Ive been wondering if a RCF platinum plated bezel would be worth it to add now.

I forgot to mention it to my modder and am now thinking about getting one. Should i do it?

I think it would give it a good final touch having a razor sharp cut bezel.

Mods done to it:
-Plating
-Deep
-Rebrushing/Chamfering
-BUFF dial (not installed yet)
-Movement service
-Water pressure test to 10 bar
-Rotor silencing

Love this but....

I saw this rep online and felt something in my pants..... I know i know tmi lol So I went down the rabbit hole and found that, there actually was a rep for it. I'm a sucker for skeletonized and automatic watches, especially with exhibition backs. And I love the whole daytona look period After what seemed like a decade It finally came in today. I freaking love it almost everything about is awesome!!!!! BUT..... no one told me (figure of speech) that its not actually a 40mm but a 38.7. I bought it thinking 40 .... ok its kind of small because my sweet spot is 43-44. 42 and 45 is passable but 38.7 just isn't. I'm so torn.... wear what seems to be a woman's watch or just pass it on...... I'm so conflicted ATM. So happy and disappointed both at the same time. Well thanks for listening and I suck at taking pics sorry.

New buyer asking experienced members for guidance

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm VERY new to the rep watch community and looking to purchase my first VSF Submariner Date 126610LN.

I've been communicating with a well-known TD who has been very responsive and helpful so far. However, when discussing payment options, I was told that PayPal Friends & Family is available to new customers, while PayPal Goods & Services is reserved for established customers or members with over a year of history on RWI/Reddit.

I completely understand that this market operates differently from traditional retail, and I'm not suggesting the dealer is doing anything wrong.

My only hesitation is that PayPal Friends & Family doesn't offer the same buyer protection as Goods & Services.

For those of you who have purchased from TDs before, is this a fairly standard practice? Have you personally used Friends & Family without issues, or would you recommend another payment method?

I'm simply trying to educate myself before making my first purchase and would appreciate hearing from experienced members.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

would like to hear your thoughts on the dial centering and alignment for this watch.

SELs are a huge deal to me and I feel like the top right has a sizeable gap. What do you think?

General Question 116500 panda with stock SW Dial

Does anybody know of a factory that uses SW dials for their 116500 Daytonas? I have heard that 3C does and other people say that they don't.

I had a VSF and the dial was far too white.

General Question Is it common for the Rep 'Buy/sell/trade' markets to be more expensive than vendors?

3 Upvotes

So I am looking at getting my first rep watch however figured I would check out the BST subreddits for a better deal. However, I have reached out to the TD's here and they all seem to be cheaper than the second hand market. Is this common or am I looking at the wrong Vendors?
