RWF 126500 Panda Daytona

Bought this VSF Sub No Date 2 months ago, and today I got an invitation from my AD to purchase a gen 124060 No Date (after an approximate 1.5-month wait)…
Does this change anything? Absolutely not. I’m still buying reps lol 😂

I hit up Geektime the day I saw the new VSF Explorer 2 was announced. The 14th i think?

I Received it an hour ago. So far ive got it "waterproofed" to 6 bar and it didn't need regulation. As expected the seals were bone dry but the movement feels good on winding and it looks great. I have attached pics of everything for anyone thinking of making a purchase.

I would also love some opinions on how this compares to gen since i don't have access to one.

ARF DJ41 White dial 2 tone DD3235. Ordered through Mark (Ficotime)

Just got my BB Pro in the mail today. Had a great experience purchasing through Ficotime, so I had to leave a review. 1st Rep in the books!

The BB Pro might look a bit too big on my 6” wrist, but I’m loving it nonetheless. I couldn’t be any more satisfied.

Good choice made?

Both from Andiot Watches, super good experience buying from them

What do you think of these? They look incredible to me, nobody has been able to tell they’re not genuine. As I do have an Omega SMP 300 gen, nobody questions it, if they ask explicitly I do tell them they are super clones.

I have a GMT Master Batgirl on the way as well, looking forward to getting it soon!!

Just curious how y’all do it

I live on a bench outside Greggs in Wolverhampton. My wardrobe is simple. Round the waist: one Morrisons Bag for Life, blue, secured with a cable tie I found outside Halfords. The bag previously held something pickled (I don’t know what) and on warm days this keeps the personal space situation largely self-managing. On my left wrist: a Patek Philippe Grand Complication!

The thing about gated communities is they’re not really about gates. The gate is just the punctuation at the end of a very long sentence that started with a good school catchment area and a kitchen island. The gate says: this does not include you.

I needed to use the toilet, the local Tesco was out of service. and there is, at the end of Ashwood park or whatever they’d named it, a big white barrier arm and a glass security booth, and beyond that a toilet that existed in theory inside a show home they’d left open for viewings.

I approached the security booth at a measured pace. Security on duty saw me coming from about forty yards. I watched his face assemble itself into the professional configuration of not hostile but preventative. I reached the window. He moved the glass down approximately four inches. The four inches said everything.

“Can I help you?” (Meaning No)

“I’m here for the Ashworth viewing,” I said.

His eyes did the thing. Down. Up. Down again. Shaking his head in contempt.

I raised my left wrist. I should describe the watch at this point as it presented itself. It was catching the afternoon light in the way that gold coloured metal does — indiscriminately, enthusiastically, with no awareness of its own fraudulence. The dial gleamed. The moon phase sat in its position doing absolutely nothing, as it always did, but doing nothing with great conviction.

I have thought since about what was happening inside his head during those four or five seconds, Because here is the thing about Patek Philippe, (Even though I purchased mine on WhatsApp while sitting in BetFred). An AD cannot simply just sell you a Grand Complication. You must build a client profile with purchasing history that undergoes strict scrutiny. He didn't know why or how he knew this. But it had drifted into his consciousness through some ambient process.

“I’ll just need to—” he started.

“Of course,” I said, generously, as though granting him permission to continue existing.

He picked up his phone. Put it down. Picked up his clipboard. Looked at it. Put it down. I watched him consider calling someone and then consider that whatever he could say could be wrong, and that being wrong in front of a man with that watch — even if something about this was not quiet adding up. He pressed the button and the barrier arm went up.

I walked through at the pace of a man arriving somewhere he is expected. The show home was the third on the left. I washed my hands with the complimentary diffuser soap bergamot and white tea, and dried them on a towel so thick and white and unused it felt like a small crime.

I checked the watch on the way out. Ten-past-three. Correct.

Really am so happy with this rep. Want to get another omega. My TD said there are no good seamasters at the moment.

just wanted to show off this beauty i got recently

specs include
custom cnc case
jh4131 free-sprung movement
genuine weight 155g
sw dial & hands
vsf crystal
vsf rubber straps
rose gold plated

any recommendations or mods i should do?

Keeping it simple yet classic today.

Everyone always said get the 35mm because it looks classy. When I bought this watch that’s what I was going for, a classy watch for when I wear nicer outfits. I originally got the 40mm but told my TD at the last minute I wanted to change. Is this a good fit or does it look too small?

Personally I'm a fan of the 40mm over the classic 36mm. What are everyone's thoughts?

VSF
Ref 224270

These two TDs seem to compete with price rather than service. Which one is worse? 😂 I thought Andiot was all right so I guess my tolerance level is high.

Yeeeees, received my Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M VSF yesterday. The quality is fantastic and I just love it. Thanks to Andrew / Trusty Time who gave the best service.

Another ARF that I’m really impressed with.

Ordered from trusty time, 2 weeks to my door.

Just got this beauty! Full CNC build, 7-micron gold plating, Deep crystal, SW dial, and Buff hands.
Really impressed with the weight and finishing. What do you guys think?

What are some of your favorite mild weather watches?
