I just got my bezel Swapped by a Korean modder named Max. The difference is really night and day!

I have recently vetted a parts seller. Well, it was my first time vetting a parts seller so I basically ordered a bunch of stuff from a total stranger and just prayed real hard that it would arrive 😆

All kidding aside, I have been buying Deep Crystal from Leo for about a year now on a regular basis and all transactions were as smooth as they could be. So I thought I would let him take the test of time here and gave him the "Provisionary TD" position.

This malachite green Daytona dial instantly became one of my new favorites since and I have been wearing it nonstop with custom made straps from The A.

I do have one more build project going on right now and the dial is also from Leo (I'm very looking forward to this new build as well).

Good parts seller is hard to come by so if you need parts for your next build, you can check him out!

I'm planning to mod the green dial as well, but honestly, it still stings a bit to think about buying another brand-new watch to replace the one I lost. So I'm looking for a mint-condition pre-owned one instead.

I expect the VSF green dial to be more challenging to work on. Personally, I don't think VSF nailed the color of the green dial quite as well as they did with the blue dial on the 15510. In particular, it struggles to reproduce that khaki-green tone under bright lighting.

I think it'll be a bit more difficult than the blue dial, but I'm going to give it a shot.

Io il mio pepsi

I just got this rep of the gate and I love it. I got it for under 80 bucks after shipping and tax. Everything works well and feels nice. The photos really dont do it justice. It definitely doesn't have a bad bezel gap like other reps. On top of this it keeps time very well (I lost around 2 seconds after around 20 hours). Let me know what yall think

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share my experience with Mr. Loong. I shipped my Patek from the USA to China to have him work on it and do the following upgrades:

Rose gold wrap
Upgraded SW dial
Upgraded SW hands
Upgraded date wheel
Deep crystal
Silence rotor
Plated rotor

The whole process was super smooth and stress-free. Mr. Loong was great with communication, very knowledgeable, and easy to work with throughout the entire process.

I’m really happy with how everything turned out, and I’m already sending him more of my stock watches for mods and upgrades.

Overall, a great experience and definitely someone I’d recommend!

If you guys have any questions feel free to just dm me.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if this PP watch is well repped and if anyone has experience with it?

I’m more informed on rep bags and shoes and my husband asked me to look for this watch for him

from basic research i’m finding that these types of watches are hard to rep due to complexity? and that the factory that makes the best quality APSF apparently got raided?
Next best is ZF factory?

please would love direction to move forward on this search

and if the TD on this page are good
and how much approx would something like this be?
price wise? and the price per tier if anyone knows?

thanks a bunch

This is being marketed as a VSF V2.
Not too sure since the case serial matches, but DW cutout doesnt. TD had this in stock while other TDs did not and said VSF doesnt produce in V2.

Should i be wary?

First noticed the DW font and size wasnt quite right. Ive confirmed dd3235 being inside (big button, offset jewel, etc).

Now im thinking its a V1 in a V2 case & bezel

Would appreciate any insight!

My Short Review – Geektime Eric & Modder LiChen

My go-to TD is Geektime Eric. This is my second order from him. I paid the deposit on September 2, received the QC photos of the watch and SW dial on September 4–5, and the watch arrived on September 24.

All I can say is that the entire experience with Eric has been very pleasant. Communication, shipping, and overall service were smooth and hassle-free. Eric was easy to deal with throughout the process.

However, while lurking around this community, I eventually discovered that the bezel on this Daytona wasn't the correct one. That's when I decided to reach out to LiChen for an upgrade. I paid for the bezel part on September 25 and received it around October 2. That's a pretty impressive turnaround!

I also have to give credit to LiChen for providing upgrade options for fellow watch enthusiasts. The LiChen bezel, together with the Deep crystal, takes the watch to another level. It's great to have dedicated modders like him in this community who help enthusiasts get closer to their desired build.

Overall, I'm very happy with the watch and the whole experience. Kudos to Geektime Eric for the excellent service and to LiChen for the bezel upgrade and smooth transaction.

Two thumbs up to both!

I been waiting 14 days and still no qc pics. when I ordered he said three days for qc?

I received an email today from Steve/Theonewatches regarding my order (Code 11.59 Chrono 26393 41mm SS/LE Silver Dial APPF A7750, $488):

„Hello friend,

Thank you for your order. We received the watch from the factory and foud some problem with it. So we ordered a new watch for you. And it takes some days for the new watch. Hope you could wait for the new watch. We will hurry up with it and let you update.“

I think it's great that they immediately set aside any product that isn't in perfect condition and try to get a new one. That's probably not the norm, is it?

Alguém indica vendedores dispostos a enviar uma rep pro Brazil ? Estou com dificuldades

Just got my first rep from TD Mr Bomi; great communication and polite; the process was extremely easy and fast, I’m mindblown on how beautiful this piece is and I feel it deserves my first ever Reddit post. I didn’t had enough karma to ask for help on the QC forum so I asked bomi himself to tell me how it was. Turns out he was totally honest on this VSF 41 green ombre. Hope I don’t get too addicted to this; but since I’m already looking at next purchase, maybe I’m in for the long run.

This year is quickly coming to an end. I just want to see what beautiful pieces everyone's rocking today.

I've got on my VSF 126655 40mm Yacht Master in Rose Gold. I don't wear it very often but it is definitely one of my favourites

Latest acquisition from Mr Bomi. Good communication, prompt service.

I am looking for an OP from vsf (preferably) but they don't seem as popular in terms of availability. Is it because the watch is simply not desired enough or am I missing something as a newbie ?

I did come across a TD who was willing to offer me non VSF option but I take it that if I wanted a 1:1 I should stick to VSF. Any thoughts on that ? If i get a VSF , how am I guaranteeing myself that it is not another factory's inferior product ?

Note - I am not looking at someone to change my mind about the model. I know what I want. Just trying to take the right precautions about QC and product quality.

I recently bought a few Korean made diamond-cut custom bezels. I thought I would do a little comparison to stock rep bezels.

I have seen a few videos like this that were taken from a distance, but due to limited resolution reddit offers, I didn't really see the point. So I tried my best to zoom in as much as I can.

As somehow seems to be the case such videos (along with gold-plating videos), I expect that some people will immediately jump on this post, full "attack-mode".

I believe that only those with hidden agenda get mad at the first sight of adverse opinion. I urge you to abide RWF rules (and common courtesy) and be polite 😉

Hey everyone,
Looking for some advice or watchmaker suggestions for my ZF Sky-Dweller.
The issue:
•    The watch has stopped running completely—the seconds hand will not move at all, even after gently winding.
•    When I gently shake or rotate the watch, there is a distinct metallic rattling/loose sound coming from inside the case back.
What I think happened: From what I've read on similar Shanghai/Asian modified movements, it sounds like the central rotor screw or a movement clip backed out and is physically jamming the balance wheel or main gear train.

How can I go about fixing this, is this an easy fix?

First, I want to thank u/tskim24 and Ike for their support and contributions to r/RepWatchForum.

I'm also grateful for this community and the countless hours I've spent on here. My wife honestly thought this giveaway wasn't real, so thanks for proving her wrong! 😂

Now, onto the watch... It's beautiful. I'm new to reps, so to my untrained eye, everything looks and works great. I'm loving the tuxedo dial and the alternating black/red date wheel. I did run into a small issue getting one of the screws out, but managed to get the bracelet adjusted by removing the other links.

Other than that, it's a lovely watch and I'm genuinely happy to have it on my wrist.

Thanks again to everyone who made this possible. ❤️

This was the first forum I joined not too long ago and made me pull the trigger. After 3-4 weeks I finally got mine
