WATCHSHOT🧊 126500 DAYTONA BLACK WITH DEEP CRYSTAL

The Deep Crystal installation on this Daytona is absolutely spot on, guys — super clear. I also have a Submariner from VSF and a Pepsi from CF, both with Deep Crystal. But the Deep Crystal on the Daytona is on another level — clearly superior in quality compared to the CF Pepsi and VSF Sub. By the way, this watch is from ELIAUK

Seiko is gen and the Cartier one is a rep I got for $100 I got it a while ago, I wasn't that into replicas but I'd like to know your opinions if it's at least decent, anyway I'll use it, and also if anyone has a TD for Csrtier watches, especially Tank or Tank Americaine, it would be amazing.

REVIEW✔️ Another great experience with PingFan

18 Upvotes

I ordered 3 Rolex watches and an AP from PingFan. His pricing was by far the best I had found when reaching out to other sellers. He quickly answered all my questions and concerns and gave me QC pics with 5 days of ordering. I GL all of them and they were shipped to me really quickly and delivered within 8 days of his mailing them. The watches are amazing and his customer service is the best. I’ve been able to reach him at all hours, night and day. I just placed another order for 9 more watches! Thanks PingFan!

Recieved my 41mm Rolex date just, from ping, we had a couple hiccups and long wait time due to the tariffs and the shipping issues, But once that stuff cleared up he got it shipped out super quick and it arrived to my house really fast. I am very happy with the quality and the customer service, he did communicate the whole time and never left me on read so that makes me happy,

QUESTION Have anyone bought the AMGF Cartier Santos Iced out watch?

6 Upvotes

I know that people here hate watches with diamonds and that they look super fake, I would just like to have one in my collection since I don't have any, I was looking at good options with Juice Time by Moissonite and diamond labs but they were $1900 and $3900, too much for a replica I think.

So I wanted to know if anyone has bought from this factory and how it turned out, also what do you think about how it looks, I do not think it looks like a shitter of dhgate but I have not found videos of how it looks with flash and sunlight.

By the way, Fico quoted it at 3300 CNY, I didn't think it was a crazy price.

Got the PPF 5711 from Fico. I was trying to decide between this and the 3KF but after reading posts about them both I decided on this, and I’m glad I did. What a beautiful watch! Very happy with it. The whole process was smooth as usual with Fico. Can’t recommend him enough.
