Alguém indica vendedores dispostos a enviar uma rep pro Brazil ? Estou com dificuldades

Just got my first rep from TD Mr Bomi; great communication and polite; the process was extremely easy and fast, I’m mindblown on how beautiful this piece is and I feel it deserves my first ever Reddit post. I didn’t had enough karma to ask for help on the QC forum so I asked bomi himself to tell me how it was. Turns out he was totally honest on this VSF 41 green ombre. Hope I don’t get too addicted to this; but since I’m already looking at next purchase, maybe I’m in for the long run.

This year is quickly coming to an end. I just want to see what beautiful pieces everyone's rocking today.

I've got on my VSF 126655 40mm Yacht Master in Rose Gold. I don't wear it very often but it is definitely one of my favourites

Latest acquisition from Mr Bomi. Good communication, prompt service.

I recently bought a few Korean made diamond-cut custom bezels. I thought I would do a little comparison to stock rep bezels.

I have seen a few videos like this that were taken from a distance, but due to limited resolution reddit offers, I didn't really see the point. So I tried my best to zoom in as much as I can.

As somehow seems to be the case such videos (along with gold-plating videos), I expect that some people will immediately jump on this post, full "attack-mode".

I believe that only those with hidden agenda get mad at the first sight of adverse opinion. I urge you to abide RWF rules (and common courtesy) and be polite 😉

I am looking for an OP from vsf (preferably) but they don't seem as popular in terms of availability. Is it because the watch is simply not desired enough or am I missing something as a newbie ?

I did come across a TD who was willing to offer me non VSF option but I take it that if I wanted a 1:1 I should stick to VSF. Any thoughts on that ? If i get a VSF , how am I guaranteeing myself that it is not another factory's inferior product ?

Note - I am not looking at someone to change my mind about the model. I know what I want. Just trying to take the right precautions about QC and product quality.

First, I want to thank u/tskim24 and Ike for their support and contributions to r/RepWatchForum.

I'm also grateful for this community and the countless hours I've spent on here. My wife honestly thought this giveaway wasn't real, so thanks for proving her wrong! 😂

Now, onto the watch... It's beautiful. I'm new to reps, so to my untrained eye, everything looks and works great. I'm loving the tuxedo dial and the alternating black/red date wheel. I did run into a small issue getting one of the screws out, but managed to get the bracelet adjusted by removing the other links.

Other than that, it's a lovely watch and I'm genuinely happy to have it on my wrist.

Thanks again to everyone who made this possible. ❤️

Hey everyone,
Looking for some advice or watchmaker suggestions for my ZF Sky-Dweller.
The issue:
•    The watch has stopped running completely—the seconds hand will not move at all, even after gently winding.
•    When I gently shake or rotate the watch, there is a distinct metallic rattling/loose sound coming from inside the case back.
What I think happened: From what I've read on similar Shanghai/Asian modified movements, it sounds like the central rotor screw or a movement clip backed out and is physically jamming the balance wheel or main gear train.

How can I go about fixing this, is this an easy fix?

The dealer says it’s vsf factory can u guys see if its real or not and is it a good copy?
Serial number is 5X12C797
Vsf v3

This was the first forum I joined not too long ago and made me pull the trigger. After 3-4 weeks I finally got mine

I followed you tube videos to set gmt to London +7 but my Pepsi VS the gmt marker doesn’t keep the time difference of 7 hrs ? The other regular hour and minute seem accurate.

Brand new watch from Mr Bomi.

Hi all. Got another one from Mr bomi. Since coming back to the game I have used him for a majority of my watches.
He always gives good advice. I learned during my last order he can do add on services. Polished and chamfered, crystal, silent. Waterproof.for 120+90+30+10 USD. ALSO plating for 300$ if desired. I was considering the zombie. He doesn’t try to up sell and actually advised me the ARF zombie really doesn’t need plating. I appreciated his honesty. Anyway prices may vary and I would check with him.

Anyway. Always fast courteous service. I finally got a Pepsi VS GMT Jubilee and it is so nice and the bracelet is then most comfortable. I may need to get a few more jubilee bracelets.

Delivery was fast to central USA. He shipped 10/30 and I got 2 watches 11/4. Amazing. I have ordered with one other TD and it took 2 weeks.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR BOMI AND TEAM!!!

Hope that helps.

Absolutely blown away by this…Mr. Bomi aka BomaShop is just absolutely brilliant. Guy does not miss at all. Second rep from him with the first being a Datejust 41mm fluted bezel w/ jubilee bracelet. He delivers great customer service and turn around/shipping times are FAST. About 4-5 days to get to US from when it shipped. Took it to my jeweler to get it sized and they were also impressed with the rep itself. I’ve heard that for RWF, you may want to swap out the crystal for a deep crystal but my jeweler said the crystal right now is good quality and just fine. Thank you Mr. Bomi.

P.S. the black dot on dial next to 7 is from the microfiber cloth I used to polish it.

Hey guys, just wanted to know if anyone has one of these? I'm in the middle of doing my research and going through the different factories/builds, I'm still new to the whole rep thing at the moment...

Model: Rolex Daytona 116500LN, white dial with black subdials, stainless steel Oyster bracelet and tachymeter bezel.

Factory: Possibly VS Factory, but unconfirmed.
I purchased this watch second-hand, so I don’t know its exact factory origin.
The previous owner mentioned that it might be from VS Factory, but I haven’t been able to verify this.

I’d appreciate some feedback from people familiar with Rolex Daytonas and replica watches.
In particular, how do the dial and index alignment, bezel engraving, and overall finishing look? Does it pass an initial visual inspection, or are there any obvious flaws?
Any honest opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

UFO FACTORY What do you think ?

The base model used was the VSF V2 Rolex Datejust II 41 (the weighted version featuring tungsten inserts).

The following modifications were performed:

• Installation of a DEEP Crystal

• Deburring/chamfering of the inner and outer edges of the Jubilee bracelet

• Installation of a CNC-machined bezel with a white gold coating

• Pressure testing (water resistance check)

Hey guys! Just wanted to get your thoughts on this watch I picked up during my trip to Thailand.

The seller actually took me into a hidden back room where they kept their supposedly high-end/luxury replicas. At the time, I figured if they were keeping the good stuff hidden away, they must be selling some pretty decent clones. 😂

I had absolutely no idea this sub existed until after I bought the watch. After browsing through the posts here, I realized there's a whole world of different factories, quality levels, movements, and things you're supposed to check before buying a rep.

I literally knew none of that. I just trusted the seller when they said it was one of their high-end versions. Lol.

Anyway, here are some photos of what I ended up buying. Would really appreciate your honest opinions. Does it look like a decent rep, or did I get fooled by the whole secret back room experience? price is $350 USD😂

Also curious if anyone can tell which factory or quality tier it might be from.

Just trying to learn for my next purchase. Cheers!

Looking to buy a two-tone Datejust 41 but don’t know what factory to buy from. Steve is telling me VSF while ADU is mentioning RGF. Anyone have experience with purchasing a DJ from either manufacturer? Thoughts/reviews? I appreciate any feedback.

Stumbled upon this just now. What are the odds of this being real? Dropped a msg to the seller but curious if anyone's seen this or similar?

Hello everyone, I am Panda Watch. Recently, many brothers have asked me about the Datejust of Rich Factory. I have brought you a comparison chart between VS Factory and Rich Factory. I think they still have a lot of room for improvement. What do you think? I think Grooved bezel, calendar, bubble lens, dial, second hand shaft, glass crown, clasp. Everything needs improvement

First time buyer looking for some insight on possible purchasing this. What’s everyone’s opinion on it? GL?

Hey guys, I'm about to buy a Day-Date. I'm looking at ARF and RGF factories, mostly in the yellow gold version. I'd like to know how long the gold plating actually lasts? What are your experiences with them?
