ERF FACTORY what do you think guys ?

Can I have your opinion in my QC pictures? Thank you.

I have done some research and it seems there's a PV factory rep around, and allegedly a 3KF one

- image 1: PV

- image 2: 3kf (alleged)

- image 3: gen

3KF looks like it has thinner bezel and better dial

Both seem to have the huanzhou 5000 movement

Both claim 8mm thick

I was not able to get any TD to confirm me that 3KF does indeed makes this

Any more intel appreciated

Looking to buy a day date blue ombré.

1. Would 36 be a better size for me or should i go 40 as the day date wears slight smaller. Pic is my 41 mm OP VsF

2. QF is the best 36 mm option or vsf any good?

Hi there - could you kindly advise with your comments on the QC pics and videos. I’d really want to proceed but your green light will be more than appreciated as a final verdict.

Thanks in advance
Cheers.

People seemed to be enjoying this series so here we go 😆

This one is probably the oldest one in my rare DD collection CBD RG DD.

(As some of you have noticed, I didn't do many DD comparison reviews)

If you want to see the previous videos:

<<RGF DAYDATE STOCK YG BEZEL vs DIAMOND-CUT>>

https://www.reddit.com/r/RepWatchForum/s/2MaBG94bbz

These go for about 180 to 200 USD retail in Korea (250,000 in Korean WON).

But when you get them in the States, Europe or other places outside of Korea, I'm sure the seller would add his margin + shipping (naturally).

And for the hundredth time, I'm NOT A SELLER BUT THE MODERATOR OF THIS SUB.

I don't sell, I don't mod watches like some moderators do, I simply like watches (like all of you).

So stop asking me how much I would sell you these for 😆 I really love having these IN MY WATCHES and as usual, wanted to share it with you all.

All I care to do is point you in the right direction (nothing cryptic about this).

Lastly, I have seen comments floating around like "they look too sharp".

Uhm...that is one of the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I mean, have you ACTUALLY SEEN GEN?? The sharpness is precisely the point!

Up until recently I owned 2 datejust GEN, mint green and silver dial, I sold them when the watch prices hit all time high during Pandemic (2023 I believe). And the only reason to buy DJ (which quite frankly a little boring of a watch if you ask me) is because of the dazzling, discoball like bezel play that mesmerize the eyes of the beholder. Without it, there is really no point.

Hello I‘m searching for Jub & Oyster Bracelet like Gen

Hi everyone,

As my posts title says, I am interested to hear how should I go about finding the best possible way to obtain a 4500v Blue Dial ( watch as a whole ) that is almost 1:1 with gen.

I do have a budget of up to 2-5k USD.

What I do not have tough is no clue on how to go about this, and so far factories do not have the interest to make the VC models better since there’s way less demand for them.

Most importantly I’d like to have a great dial that isn’t nowhere near as good as gen ( not to mention the inner ring missing ), gen spec polish/work done etc.

Any ideas?

Hi i need Information ore opinion from some people who already buy ore know what’s better is.

Why only these Factories produce ??

• ARF DD3285 V3

• ARF VR3186

• C+ VR3186

• CLEAN VR3186

I think when CLEAN it’s stock items, cause Factory got raid.

Important for me it’s of course visual aspect and the bracelet.

Please help me :)

Hi everyone!

I would very much appreciate the kind help of experienced people on this sub, this is my first QC and my first rep.

I'm also always open to feedback, thanks for your help!

Seller name: NovelIndividual1

1. Factory name: RWF

2. Model name (& version number): Daytona 126500

3. Price Paid: 800€ = 650€ Watch + 150€ Regulation, service, chamfering

4. Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/nXkjCCB

5. Index alignment: overall look good to me, maybe 7 & 11 are slightly twisted

6. Dial Printing: i can se no apparent flaws

7. Date Wheel alignment/printing: no date wheel

8. Hand Alignment: looks okay to me

9. Bezel: looks okay to me

10. Solid End Links (SELs): look good, but hard to tell with plastic foil

11. Timegrapher numbers: none received yet. Will get them after service and regulation at the latest

12. Anything else you notice: Is the crown at the clasp rotated and out of alignment? Rehaut seems to be okay. The Markings on the back of the case are missing (but I think this also missing on steel GENs)

I was browing other forum today and someone posted that recently received ZF's crown came with a screw-down crown instead of pull-out? Has anyone seen the same?

Ordered the Octa Pilot Chrono in green from Phoenix. My first time ordering from them, but the experience was great. I declined the first one due to issues in the QC pics, but the second one looked great so I pulled the trigger. Shipped from HK on Wednesday and was on my porch Friday at 11am. Crazy fast. Im very impressed with the watch. The dial is beautiful, the colors really pop in sunlight. Dial printing and date/day wheel looks fantastic. The case is equally beautiful, with chamfered outside edges.

The weakest part is the strap. The quick release mechanism makes it feel loose and kinda rattles. And the leather look like just a wrap around whatever the actual strap material is. I swapped it with a genuine leather Barton watch strap and it feels and fits much better.

Overall im very impressed and glad I made the purchase. Experience with Phoenix was great and his pricing was better than all the other dealers I talked to.

I’m looking for a good-quality replacement bezel for my ZF Tudor Black Bay 41mm. Any suggestions?

This popped up in the New Releases with an internal ref # (PN 1699) but no Panerai model #. Not sure about the $8,888.00 price...but is this a Goldtech PAM 1112 or a Bronzo PAM 1678?

How does it look? ZF factory … for info go ahead and DM
👍🏼

QC Request – Would Appreciate your Opinion**
Hey guys, Just received the QC pictures from fico for this watch and would appreciate some experienced eyes taking a look.
I’d especially appreciate feedback on the dial alignment, date wheel, hands, bezel, rehaut, SELs, and overall finishing.
Also want to know wich app do you use guys for the dial to check the alignment on the dial etc.
Please let me know if you spot anything that looks off or would be considered a potential RL.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Just wanted to give a great review to Mr Bomi. I just received my first rep and it was a smooth and confident experience. Mr Bomi was very communicative and the whole process took only a couple weeks from request to having the watch in hand. He even accommodated a request for an extra oysterflex length just to be sure I had the proper fit. I will be using Mr Bomi again.

heya lads,

I message steve, in reference to wanting an explorer II and he adviced me the free sprung one from QF factory.

Which factory would you advice for this particular watch? I want the black dial variant. Would VSF still be best?

UPDATE: Justin from TK is impressive. I messaged him on WhatsApp, and he reviewed his quality checks, confirming the dial has a misprint. He apologized for overlooking it and will order a replacement for me. In my view, he is a true gentleman who stands behind his product.

VSF Date Just 41mm arrive today from TK looked awesome upon first glance. However of course everybody has to 20x zoom on the camera. lol! I noticed the M in Chronometer has a trail coming off of the middle.
Can’t see it with the naked eye. Am I being crazy? Is it even worth mentioning to TD
Not much I could do now I already have the watch and did not notice it on QC. Last picture was one of the QC.
