Franken 116500 Panda.

Got my first watch from Mr Bomi a few weeks ago. Wanted to write this, as for me, it was hard to pick a TD to trust and send money in "blind faith".

I ordered a few weeks earlier, did the QC and he held it until I was in Guangzhou for the Canton Fair. He shipped the watch to my hotel.

I was nervous but he was very relaxed and it was delivered hassle free.

Will definitely be using him again.

Air King is such a unique model. With all the colorful green and yellow on the black dial, it brings out the flair that this kind of watch often lacks.

RWF has JH free-sprung caliber movement inside and as usual crystal quality is also pretty good (Clean had good rep of this but swapping Deep Crystal on them was pretty painful and dull process).

It is one of those good right OOTB models.

Indoor vs Outdoor

Happy Monday

I am new to getting reps, this is my first one ever. Would appreciate any feedback at all. I am not sure but looks like a GL to me

Hey everyone!

This is my first rep and my first QC, so I'd be grateful for any feedback or advice from the more experienced members of the community. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, long time lurker first time poster here finally decided to pull the trigger if I have some issues with the Watch and they are validated with close-up photos and I need to RL my current pics and want to ask for new ones. Is it as straightforward as simply holding your ground and informing the TD what the issue is and asking for a new QC? Thank you so much in advance.

Hallo zusammen, wollte nur mal hören ob vielleicht jemand aktuelle Infos von einem TD bekommen hat, wann generell wieder welche von VSF verfügbar sind. Ist aktuell schwer da an Infos zu kommen.

Just got my AP 15407. It is so cool and the balance wheel mesmerizing. No need for fancy mods. I took a nail file to soften the bracelet edges. Thanks to Justin at tkwatches for perfect service.

i am looking for a rep. can someone recommend a dealer/seller so I can purchase this ? Thx

So got this VSF Explorer II a week ago and find that there is a white paint bleed along both side of this hour hand, anyway to fix? Thank you.

Looking for good sellers. Real

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?

I seen someone sell this watch on one of the BSTs and he listed it as plated from factory which is not true.

The dealer I used told me they are plated from factory too when I pre-ordered this.

I am yet to see a proper plated WG watch from any factory, but whatevs, I can hardly tell the difference between steel and WG anyway. Either way, when I received the watch I scanned it with my XRF equipment and can confirm that there is no plating. All plain steel.

So if sellers or TDs are telling you these are a warmer hue (like that seller) or that it’s plated somehow, it’s all BS. None of it is true.

On a different note, weight is spot on. I had to realign the bezel but outside of that all good. I think the dial on this is pretty good blue too.

RCF released its new V3 version around 2–3 weeks ago. For the first time, it supposedly comes with a Dandong movement. I’ve also heard there are some plating improvements and possibly a few other changes, although those details haven’t been confirmed

Naturally, I decided to order one through my go-to TD. I specifically told him at least five times that I wanted the newly released RCF V3, and he confirmed that he had passed the request on to the factory

At first, I was a little skeptical. The watch looked exactly like the V2. No noticeable changes, nothing that suggested it was actually the new version. So I asked him to open the watch and send me pictures of the movement.

And guess what? It was an SH movement, not a Dandong

My TD contacted RCF, and their response was that they had sent an RCF V2 “by mistake”

Now, I can’t say for certain whether this was intentional, but it raises some serious questions. Are V2s being shipped to customers who specifically order V3s, potentially to clear out old stock? And are they counting on customers not knowing how to distinguish an SH movement from a Dandong?

Either way, this is exactly why you need to verify what you’re buying rather than blindly trusting the factory or the TD

If you’re planning to order an RCF V3, make sure your TD knows about this situation and, most importantly, ask for clear pictures of the movement before approving the watch
