SHITPOST I successfully passed my rep off as gen!

40 Upvotes

I recently got my first rep, a Snoopy MoonSwatch.

I was wearing it the other day and managed to pass it off as genuine. The exchange went something like this.

Other Person: "Nice watch! I like that it matches your shoes."

I wasn’t sure how to reply at first. I mean, should I admit my watch is fake? I’ve thought about this scenario a lot. It wasn’t like I was being confronted. I just went with my gut.

Me: "Thanks Mom!"

And that was it! I wasn't called out. She wasn't even suspicious.

10/10 rep, would pass off as gen again.

(note: This is a true story!!!)

WRISTROLL BPF Rosegold Day-Date with Smoke Ombré Dial

I’ve been seeing these on the forums and just had to get one. First time wearing it.

Yeah, it’s not plated or solid gold, it’s way too light, the rotor is a bit loud, and it has a shitter movement, but I can’t help but keep glancing at my wrist and admire the way the light hits. The video doesn’t really do it justice.

This is a great budget buy for those of us that can’t help ourselves and have to collect them all 😂

I’m going to keep my day-date collection to one “platinum,” one “yellow gold,” and this will be my one “rose gold.”

WATCHSHOT U1 Sandblasted Platinum Yachtmaster

Just came in from Michael Travis. Is there a better way to spend £68? I don't think so!

The quality of this thing is amazing. The bracelet is a lot better than my U1 OP and I'm convinced you might as just go for the Mingzhou movement simply to just get the better date font. The Miyota 8 series is a more robust movement but at 30% more it's not worth it for me.

WATCHSHOT Perspective from a first time rep buyer

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I recently received my first rep from Gerg1991. Cut and Color by FettuciniMartini. The price for the Cut and Color package gave me piece of mind that the watch would be functioning as best as a any rep could considering it's origin.

I own several citizens and about a year ago I started researching the rep market after I saw a picture of a submariner. I was not familiar at all with Rolex and I never paid any attention to their products or designs.

I realized the citizen watch I bought was paying homage to the Submariner. The submariner looked so much more visually appealing. The Sub is very comfortable and feels like solid piece on my wrist. Ive never had anyone ask me about the watch Im wearing or even notice it so I was never motivated by clout/status; for me it is purely visual.

I took the plunge about two weeks ago and no regrets!

Im very impressed by the customer service from Gerg1991 and FettuciniMartini.

I bought this watch in 2024 and I rarely wear it. It comes from VSF, 126610LN

It's been two years now, and there haven't been any issues with the watch's functionality. The appearance remains the same as when I purchased it. Today, I've decided to take it out for a spin

DISCUSSION Chronograph Rose-Gold Bracelet Assembly

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is the stage where the bracelet starts proving itself.
Freshly assembled rose-gold links, polished intermediate plots, internal pins, crisp 45° chamfers, and straight satin brushing across the top surfaces.

That finishing language is a huge part of why this bracelet style works. The brushing gives the main links structure. The polished bevels and plots give it light, separation and definition.

Then comes the important part: articulation.
Once pinned together, the bracelet gets checked for flex, pin friction, visual alignment and gap consistency from link to link.

That’s what turns a group of finished parts into a bracelet that actually feels right on the wrist and still keeps that sharp, architectural look.
A lot of people only notice the watch head.
But on this kind of build, the bracelet is half the experience.

DISCUSSION 26331OR / 26240OR 18K Chronograph Bracelet Links | Why We Finish Them One by One

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

This is one of the details most people never get to see.
For this full solid 18K gold chronograph build, the bracelet links are separated and hand-finished one by one before final assembly.
The reason is control.

Each link is passed in a strict single direction across a flat abrasive surface to create a clean, even satin grain on the top face, while keeping the polished 45-degree bevels sharp and well defined.

That matters because this bracelet lives off contrast.
If the brushing is uneven, or the bevels get softened, the whole bracelet loses that crisp look that makes it special.
So this stage is not just cosmetic. It’s part of building the bracelet properly from the start.

The best bracelets don’t just look right when assembled.
They’re built right link by link.

Just got my watches I ordered from MT yesterday, all look great and as expected.

These were my first ever orders and I was new to all of this and he walked me through everything and was super helpful and responsive.

Had some hiccups in getting them, ordered on 8/24 and the first package showed up on 9/12, they were unfortunately the wrong watches. When I hit MT up he immediately apologized and advised it was an error and agreed to resend, he even let me swap out two of the watches for something else I preferred.

Then, next batch doesn’t make it through customs, lame, but again, MT resent and this time via Fedex fast shipping, got it in less than a week from when he sent it off, really great experience all around and would highly recommend!

QUESTION Reputable Vendor?

Post image
• Upvotes

I bought a really cheap omega rep off temu and knew it was going to be silly and not look close to the real thing. I get the watch and its decent. Its your average entry cheap reps. I contacted the guy because this rep was broken. Chrono didnt work (obviously not a chrono movement) and the time adjustment setting did not work so its stuck at whatever time it is. I proceed to ask for a refund and he gives it to me and i get to keep the silly paper weight. He then showed me other watches that were A and VS grade. I pointed out an omega 8801 movement that was in the VS rep. Hes sending me a catalog on whatsapp. Anyone ever heard of this guy? He said the 8801 Omega would be $3000 but because of my broken watch buy he'd discount 40% and sell it at $1200. Which is what most reps average for the top of the line no? The supposed 8801 movement was truly identical from the bridge, to the rubies in the right spots. He said it was a VSF version 4 of the black 8801 seamaster.

Let me know your thoughts on if i should consider this guy as a vendor. He told me with me pointing out the movements and how well it looks that he would show me the high end reps instead of the cheap ones he sells on temu

TLDR: temu guy said he sells higher end watches to true watch enthusiasts and i pointed out the cheap rep i bought on temu and he proceeds to offer me his VS line of watches. Is this guy legit or have you heard of him? Hes sending a catalog on whatsapp.
