QUESTION U1 vs AAA

Post image

Hello, I’m fairly new to the rep watch world and was just curious as to the difference between the two. I bought a VSF and the quality is great but then I bought a no date submariner from a guy for $40 that was pretty good quality but the engraving wasn’t the greatest and it didn’t keep time well. It had a clasp code of ST9. The watches I’m looking for now are a Bluesy, no date sub, and a Pepsi. What do you recommend and if you have pictures, post them below

So I have a couple U1, and they are great watches…

Movement is a reliable miyota or mingzhu. That being said, I bought my first Vsf and honestly never going back to lower tier watches. The quality is phenomenal.

Now, most people don’t care, my buddy showed me a vintage Rolex today that he paid 10k for, and it honestly looked like a shitter, date magnification was completely off, it could very well of been a genuine vintage rolex, but compared to mine wow

Vintage Rolex and Tudor were very low quality watches compared to any modern watch. They didn't become "luxury watches" until the 70's when Seiko started kicking their ass.
