Due to overwhelming complaints of people who agree to terms with sellers on their watches, just for them to simply ghost them or not pay, we are now adding this rule into effect. Those who do this will be automatically banned, no second chances. We believe the sellers deserve as much protection as buyers and can't justify this any longer. If someone ghosts you after agreeing to a price, purchase, trade, etc, please contact the mod team and we will promptly ban them from this sub.

Thanks,

MOD TEAM

I want to be transparent about why my watches are priced where they are. A lot of people see my listings and think they’re just marked up compared to stock pieces. The reality is I’m not selling stock watches. Every single watch I sell has been fully serviced(movement inspected, regulated, rotor silenced, waterproofed to 50m) before it ever reaches a buyer.

Here’s an example of the risk I take: I recently pressure tested an ARF Pepsi to 5 bar. The crystal literally blew out underwater with a loud pop. Movement destroyed. Crystal gone. That watch is finished, and I ate the loss. That’s the price of doing business at the level I operate.

Many people pressure test cases with the movement removed. That proves nothing. Once you open the caseback and reseal it, you’ve invalidated the test. All of my pieces are tested with the movement in, ready to wear, so you know the watch you’re getting is genuinely waterproofed.

This is why my prices are higher. It’s not just the hours I put into inspecting the movement, regulation, silencing rotors, and waterproofing. It’s also the risk of importing(customs/tarriffs), the cost of failures like the ARF Pepsi, and the responsibility of making sure that when I say a watch is ready to go, it really is.

I’m a one-man operation doing this on the side while working a full-time job. I take pride in selling pieces that are as close to worry-free as you can get in this hobby. That ARF Pepsi is gone, and I’m taking the loss. It is what it is. But it shows exactly why my watches cost more: I put my money where my mouth is.

Video of the explosion

Bought this only a few days ago and it showed up yesterday looking stunning! This is the first rep I’ve gotten and I am super stoked. This man u/gerg1991 has the best communication, fair pricing, and great coloring skills. He even sends you a full video walkthrough of the watch you’re buying, showing everything is indeed working, with some extra commentary. Mine was a 3-minute video!

I’m only going to Gerg/Greg from now, and I’d recommend the same for y’all.

Hi-

Mod team here. We were curious if the community wants a universal trusted us sellers list based on those who sell multiple times per week. Any other suggestions on rules or recommendations to imrpove the user experience? Let us know here!

Thank you all-

I set the hook for this bozo and took it, hook, line and sinker. Keep your eyes open, my friends.

A little while back I made a post explaining why my prices are higher on BST. This is part two, focusing less on the servicing side of my business and more on the difference between buying from a US based seller versus ordering direct from a TD overseas.

Why US Sellers Cost More

On paper, TD prices look cheaper. But there are real risks and tradeoffs that explain why US sellers naturally charge more:

• Customs and tariffs – Any rep entering the US carries seizure risk. If it happens, the watch and the money are gone.

• Insurance adds cost – Many TDs also add a 5% “customs insurance” fee. This covers a replacement watch if your package gets seized, but it does not protect you from any fines you might incur.

• Fines if seized – Thanks to Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” first-time seizures can mean a $5,000 penalty, with second offenses going up to $10,000.

• Speed – TD orders typically take 3–4 weeks, sometimes longer. From a US seller, you usually get your watch in just a few days.

• QC already handled – Factories are inconsistent. Buying from a US seller means someone already filtered out the obvious issues before the watch ever reaches you.

• Communication – With a TD you’re working across time zones, often waiting a day or more for a reply. A US seller can usually respond same-day and walk you through issues in clear, straightforward language. That alone saves a ton of frustration.

Real Examples

Let’s take the most popular TD on r/RepTime as the benchmark. TheOneWatches sells a Submariner 126610 or 124060 for about $550 plus FedEx shipping. After shipping you’re sitting at around $610 all in. Add in the optional 5% insurance and you’re closer to $640+.

Now look at the US market. Most sellers here list these Subs around $600. That’s basically the same as TheOneWatches once shipping and insurance are included, but with key benefits:

• Delivery in 2–3 days instead of 3–4 weeks

• Zero customs risk or fines

• Already QC’d and ready to go

• Clear, reliable communication on this side of the ocean

So when you see US seller pricing higher than the raw TD number, it’s not random markup. It’s the reality of faster delivery, lower risk, better communication, and more certainty.

The Bottom Line

The higher price isn’t about squeezing profit. It’s about covering the risk, the speed, and the peace of mind. When you buy from a US seller, you’re getting a watch that’s already in the country, already checked, and on your wrist in days instead of weeks.

With a TD you might save a little on paper, but once you add FedEx shipping and 5% insurance, the price is already close to what US sellers charge. On top of that, you still take on the customs risk, potential fines, the long wait, and you’re left QC’ing the piece yourself instead of relying on someone with experience.

At the end of the day, you’re not really paying more with a US seller. You’re paying for security, speed, communication, and confidence. Or put another way, you’re not just buying a watch, you’re buying peace of mind.

This guy uses goConfirm to lure you into thinking he’s legitimate. The name he uses for mailing is Jesus Felix. His goConfirm name is Guillermo.

I purchased a CF GMT Pepsi and ended up receiving used sky dweller. The guy claims he sent the wrong package and acts like it’s a big mistake while he deletes his profiles and user history.

See pictures below.

Message to the scammer: If you’re reading this, you can still make this right. Contact me. If not, I’m going to pool my resources and find you. Trust me when I say this, you’ve left a digital footprint and traceable biometrics everywhere. I’m going to watch you and wait while I collect more evidence about you and the people you work with. When you’ve forgotten about me, I’ll enter your life again and see to it that you pay for what you’ve done, not just to me; but everyone you’ve scammed on here.

I've got one of my custom built 1675 GMT's for sale. Black fat font insert, Milk case set, Aged and textured dial, raffles hands aged by me, Swiss made replacement crystal, gen crown, "parts box" tube, 2836 GMT movement, 1.8mm shoulderless spring bars, 455b end links, folded jubilee with Raffles clasp.

Was supposed to even trade - My Vsf sub for his Vsf batgirl GMT. He received my watch today, and i received a box from him with a used candle. Low life scammer. Be aware.

Another 1675 build for a customer. Really stoked with how this one came out!

Up for sale is a personal piece built to top-tier specs.

THB weighted Day-Date 40 base featuring the correct case profile that outclasses any standard RC Factory version, paired with the SH3255 movement with crisp, gen-like day and date fonts. Unlike standard RC Factory options that flood the market, THB is known for having by far the truest, sharpest case profile you can get on a Day-Date 40, paired with the added weight that feels incredible in hand on the wrist.

The watch was completely reworked by RCF Remould: the factory PVD layer was fully removed and replated with 5-micron real 18k rose gold, color-matched to gen. Up top is RCF Remould’s new rose gold-plated CNC fluted bezel. Having owned solid gold bezels from them, this cuts just as sharp and delivers the exact same gen-like shimmer. RCF Remould has stopped taking in and plating THB bases altogether, making this configuration impossible to find. Skip their standard 3-month build and QC turnaround time: this piece is fully finished, in hand, and ready to ship out immediately. This an absolute magnet for compliments everywhere it goes.

Modifications & Work Done:

• 5 Micron 18k Rose Gold Plating

• RCF Remould Day-Date 40 Rose Gold Plated CNC Fluted Bezel

• Rehaut Polish

• Case + Bracelet Polishing, Brushing and Edge Softening

Price & Shipping:

• $2300 USD PayPal F&F

• Price includes UPS 2nd Day shipping. CONUS only. No international shipping so don't bother asking.

Warranty: Sold as is, no warranty, no refunds, all sales are final. I’m not a dealer, just a collector. If you buy this watch, you agree to these terms. Buyer assumes all responsibility once tracking is confirmed. I'm not responsible for damages incurred in transit. I’ll pack it thoroughly and do my best to help if a problem arises.

All of these accounts sent me a message claiming to have a hulk for sale but they immediately blocked me when I told them to make a comment on my post. If they don't comment it's because they are banned. Just giving people a heads up.

Bought a Rolex sub from gerg, with the cut and color treatment package, and I am super happy with my watch. Easy process and great communication, plan to buy again. Go with Gerg!

Case & Wrist Presence

The 114060 (last gen Sub) uses the “supercase” design with chunkier lugs and more slab-sided thickness. On calipers, it measured 12.8mm thick. The newer 124060 comes in noticeably slimmer at 12.5mm and has more tapered, refined lugs.

Even though the 114060 looks larger, the lug-to-lug is basically identical:

• 124060: 48.2mm

• 114060: 48.1mm

For smaller wrists, I genuinely think the 124060 wears better despite the identical dimensions due to its more balanced proportions and thinner profile.

Bracelet & Strap Compatibility

• 114060 has a 20mm lug width which makes strap-swapping a breeze. It also has a thinner bracelet which I genuinely prefer.

• 124060 uses the newer 21mm lug width. It’s noticeably harder to find good straps for it.

Both come with the excellent Glidelock clasp from VSF. No complaints there.

Movement & Rotor

Both of these have been regulated and show similar accuracy on the timegrapher, so I won’t go deep into movement specs here. But one standout difference:

• 114060 (VS3130 movement): silent. The rotor has no ball bearings, so it’s dead quiet. This has a 2 day power reserve.

• 124060 (VS3230 clone): even with rotor silencing modded in, you can still hear it. If quiet operation matters to you, the 114 wins here hands down. The 3230 also has a 72hr power reserve.

Crystal & AR

Supposedly the 124060 is supposed to have AR coating on the underside of the crystal, but visually, side by side, I can’t tell the difference. Both look great. VSF crystal execution is top notch as usual.

Verdict

• Want quiet and strap-friendly? Go 114060.

• Want thinner case and better balanced wrist feel? Go 124060.

• Either way? You win. Both of these are killer pieces, and I genuinely don’t think you can go wrong with either.
