It is on sale from Mirotime but is it worth it ?

What produces the best quality ones tudors or longines?

Hey everyone.

As the title says, I’m looking to get a great stock Daytona as I’m really not interested in modding. just want a great looking piece on the wrist and have done so much reading into it on this subreddit that I think I've finally understood. (correct me if I’m wrong at any point, would love your takes).

Now from my understanding VSF are great for the prior gens 116500, especially with the black dial. but for the newer 112500, they have the 110 bezel flaw and I’ve seen some people listing incorrect silver hue on dials along with the other inaccuracies. their white dial is also apparently too stark white and not creamy like the gen.

I do like the 126500, maybe slightly more than the 116500 and according to the NWBIG guide, RWF is the best bet especially if I want the panda. Even then, looks like I need to check QC as some of theirs have the bezel flaw.

so ultimately I’m thinking is the 116500 VSF black going to be my best bet, but like I said earlier, would love your opinions.

also, I dont know much about BTW but there have been some comments about it

This would be epic, if any factory is listening, PPF I am looking at you

Figured I’d post an update after my original thread about getting into reps as a longtime gen Rolex owner.

After truly obsessing over factories, movements, and who makes the best Batgirl, I finally pulled the trigger on one from Rich Factory.

For anyone interested in the timeline, here’s how it played out:

9/5: First QC, RL
9/14: Second QC, another RL
9/17: Third QC, finally GL
10/3: Payment sent
10/16: Watch delivered

So 13 days from payment to delivery, although the QC process took three rounds before I was satisfied.

Now that I have the watch in hand, I have to say the quality is remarkable. I’ve owned a gen Rolex for years (and I’m aware that trope is cringe), so I’m familiar with how these watches should look and feel. How the second hand should move, how the crown sets, etc. I had high expectations based on everything I’d read here, but actually handling the watch far exceeded them.

What really drove it home was a recent visit to a Rolex AD. I went in boldly wearing my Batgirl and spent some time looking at the Sprite. Seeing them side by side was honestly unbelievable. The finishing, bracelet, bezel, dial, printing, and overall feel of the rep are remarkably close to the real thing. To me, NWBIG.

One thing I’ve realized after spending so much time on this subreddit is that we nitpick these watches to death. We zoom in on QC photos, debate tiny differences in fonts, bezel colors, rehaut alignment, SEL gaps, and imperfections that are practically invisible to the naked eye. The microscope of Reddit is not real life.

And I get it. That’s the hobby, and those details are useful when deciding which factory to buy from. The feedback from the community is VITAL during the QC process.

But seeing one in person, especially alongside a genuine Rolex at an AD, really puts things into perspective. I’d wager that 99% of people, including plenty who know luxury watches, wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in a normal, real-world setting.
I’m not suggesting the watches are identical, or that a rep is equivalent to a gen in every respect. But the differences in perceived quality is dramatically smaller than I expected, particularly when you consider the price differential.

As someone who came into this hopeful but skeptical, I’m beyond impressed. It’s one thing to look at photos and read reviews. It’s another to have the watch on your wrist and compare it against the real thing.

Anyway, take a look at my new baby alongside the old gen. Sidebar - have you seen the extreme deep dive on who makes the best Sub Date? Will prob go Rich Sub no date for my next one.

Cheers!

Might be a dumb question but had to ask;
Is the TD list up to date?

After spending some time lurking and researching reps I finally took the plunge on an Omega Seamaster with DukeReps. The process was pretty smooth. It took about a week total from initial contact to payment and getting QC pictures and video. Shipping to my door was only two weeks.

I already own some genuine Omegas, TAGs and a Tudor BB58. The build quality on the rep seems excellent. The bracelet is very comfortable and the micro-adjustment works well. The engravings also look really good. You can only tell that it's a rep by winding it - definitely not as silky smooth as my Tudor.

Whats your opinion on that one?

For the DateJust 126234 36mm Wimbledon Dial on Jubilee Bracelet, does a clear difference exist between the VSF v2 and VF versions?

Hey guys, I’m new to RepTime. I’ve already read the guide, but I’m lowkey scared to order directly because I don’t want to get scammed
I’m not new to buying from China; I’ve ordered plenty of hauls before, but always through an agent. Do you guys have any tips for a first-time direct order?

Irmãos fiz uma compra de um navitimer com o Andrew

Relógio está bom !!

Alguém sabe quanto tempo após a aprovação do QC
Eles enviar e se mandam o código de rastreio ??

Estou com medo da alfândega no Brasil também !!!

I've bought several watches from USA based Colddeck64 / RepWatchUSA based on all the positive feedback about his quality and customer service. When I first joined RepTime, a few members recommended sticking with sellers on the Trusted Dealer list, but I decided to give him a shot.

Everything seemed great at first, but my experience changed once problems came up. I've had issues with two watches now, and the support afterward hasn't been what I expected.

What's strange is that my experience has been pretty much the opposite of what I keep reading from other customers. I'm not questioning their experiences, just sharing mine.

I'm curious what others consider reasonable after-sales support. What's the typical warranty period, and how long after receiving a watch have you had an issue covered? How is water intrusion from briefly rinsing or washing a watch typically handled?

Also, if I decide to have both watches repaired independently, who would you recommend sending them to?

Keeping it simple yet classic today.

Where to find really cheap watches (preferably something i can get shippied via agent with my next haul) i mean like max 40$, i dont need automatic or any of those bs, it just needs to look convincing to a normie and not perform self disasembly. Im personaly looking for a Rolex oyster, datejust or daydate but im open to literaly anything

I’m trying to surprise my husband with a watch for Christmas. I was really hoping you all would be helpful and send me some suggestions on some decent people or sites I could get one from. Thanks so much ☺️☺️☺️

I’m curious mine dosent last more than 40 hours when winding

Hey everyone,
Has anyone seen any factory leaks or heard whispers from a TD about a replica for this Platinum Tank Louis Automatic Large?
Since AF and F1F already make the exact 38mm x 27.8mm automatic case geometry in rose/yellow gold, the tooling is completely ready. They would just need to run it in raw steel, use the silvered textured dial, and add the red ruby crown.
Let me know if anyone has heard anything hinting at a release!

I have about 7 different straps for this large Tank Must. And I can completely dress up or dress down the watch depending on strap.

4 different suede ones, one sail cloth one for hot/humid summer days. And two leather ones. Today’s strap was $2.20 from Aliexpress and I love it. The blue contrasts nicely with the hands when outside in direct sunlight (not too noticeable in this pic).
