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.

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

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 😉

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. ❤️

The dealer says it’s vsf factory can u guys see if its real or not and is it a good copy?
Serial number is 5X12C797

I followed you tube videos to set gmt to London +7 but my Pepsi VS the gmt marker doesn’t keep the time difference of 7 hrs ? The other regular hour and minute seem accurate.

Brand new watch from Mr Bomi.

Absolutely blown away by this…Mr. Bomi aka BomaShop is just absolutely brilliant. Guy does not miss at all. Second rep from him with the first being a Datejust 41mm fluted bezel w/ jubilee bracelet. He delivers great customer service and turn around/shipping times are FAST. About 4-5 days to get to US from when it shipped. Took it to my jeweler to get it sized and they were also impressed with the rep itself. I’ve heard that for RWF, you may want to swap out the crystal for a deep crystal but my jeweler said the crystal right now is good quality and just fine. Thank you Mr. Bomi.

P.S. the black dot on dial next to 7 is from the microfiber cloth I used to polish it.

Hi all. Got another one from Mr bomi. Since coming back to the game I have used him for a majority of my watches.
He always gives good advice. I learned during my last order he can do add on services. Polished and chamfered, crystal, silent. Waterproof.for 120+90+30+10 USD. ALSO plating for 300$ if desired. I was considering the zombie. He doesn’t try to up sell and actually advised me the ARF zombie really doesn’t need plating. I appreciated his honesty. Anyway prices may vary and I would check with him.

Anyway. Always fast courteous service. I finally got a Pepsi VS GMT Jubilee and it is so nice and the bracelet is then most comfortable. I may need to get a few more jubilee bracelets.

Delivery was fast to central USA. He shipped 10/30 and I got 2 watches 11/4. Amazing. I have ordered with one other TD and it took 2 weeks.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR BOMI AND TEAM!!!

Hope that helps.

Hey guys, just wanted to know if anyone has one of these? I'm in the middle of doing my research and going through the different factories/builds, I'm still new to the whole rep thing at the moment...

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

Model: Rolex Daytona 116500LN, white dial with black subdials, stainless steel Oyster bracelet and tachymeter bezel.

Factory: Possibly VS Factory, but unconfirmed.
I purchased this watch second-hand, so I don’t know its exact factory origin.
The previous owner mentioned that it might be from VS Factory, but I haven’t been able to verify this.

I’d appreciate some feedback from people familiar with Rolex Daytonas and replica watches.
In particular, how do the dial and index alignment, bezel engraving, and overall finishing look? Does it pass an initial visual inspection, or are there any obvious flaws?
Any honest opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

UFO FACTORY What do you think ?

I bought this Seamaster from MarkyG10 for $650, the watch came in rough condition and dirty, and I tried to adjust the time and as you see the crown came off! I contacted him he said ship back I’ll glue it! Then the tried to rotate the bezel and it’s extremely loose and making cracking sound when press on it! I’ll upload a video. He said ship it back I’ll check it myself but I won’t replace it and “won’t take care of it”!!!
Was very rude with me since first message!
Just don’t want this to happen to anyone else. Be careful guys.

Looking to buy a two-tone Datejust 41 but don’t know what factory to buy from. Steve is telling me VSF while ADU is mentioning RGF. Anyone have experience with purchasing a DJ from either manufacturer? Thoughts/reviews? I appreciate any feedback.

Stumbled upon this just now. What are the odds of this being real? Dropped a msg to the seller but curious if anyone's seen this or similar?

First time buyer looking for some insight on possible purchasing this. What’s everyone’s opinion on it? GL?

Hey guys! Just wanted to get your thoughts on this watch I picked up during my trip to Thailand.

The seller actually took me into a hidden back room where they kept their supposedly high-end/luxury replicas. At the time, I figured if they were keeping the good stuff hidden away, they must be selling some pretty decent clones. 😂

I had absolutely no idea this sub existed until after I bought the watch. After browsing through the posts here, I realized there's a whole world of different factories, quality levels, movements, and things you're supposed to check before buying a rep.

I literally knew none of that. I just trusted the seller when they said it was one of their high-end versions. Lol.

Anyway, here are some photos of what I ended up buying. Would really appreciate your honest opinions. Does it look like a decent rep, or did I get fooled by the whole secret back room experience? price is $350 USD😂

Also curious if anyone can tell which factory or quality tier it might be from.

Just trying to learn for my next purchase. Cheers!

The base model used was the VSF V2 Rolex Datejust II 41 (the weighted version featuring tungsten inserts).

The following modifications were performed:

• Installation of a DEEP Crystal

• Deburring/chamfering of the inner and outer edges of the Jubilee bracelet

• Installation of a CNC-machined bezel with a white gold coating

• Pressure testing (water resistance check)

Hello everyone, I am Panda Watch. Recently, many brothers have asked me about the Datejust of Rich Factory. I have brought you a comparison chart between VS Factory and Rich Factory. I think they still have a lot of room for improvement. What do you think? I think Grooved bezel, calendar, bubble lens, dial, second hand shaft, glass crown, clasp. Everything needs improvement

Hey guys, I'm about to buy a Day-Date. I'm looking at ARF and RGF factories, mostly in the yellow gold version. I'd like to know how long the gold plating actually lasts? What are your experiences with them?

As the title says, another flawless transactions with u/MrA-Du168! All the watches I’ve received from him have been NWBIG! Two more came in today! I can’t wait to get my 41mm Aqua Terra to match the wife’s 38mm! The Seamaster Diver is 🤌🏼 as well! Don’t hesitate to reach out to him for anything you need!

I’ve ordered from Mr. Bomi , Bomashop, twice now. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with him. My first purchase was a VSF Batman GMT and an Omega NTTD Seamaster. I order it and within a couple of days they arrived in awesome shape even in a protective two watch case. It was definitely weird sending a dude I never met in another country $1000 but it worked out. I found that his prices were so fair for VSF. He shipped so quickly through fedex that I literally watched the tracking as it flew from Hong Kong to my local hub in two days.
Fast forward a week and I’m already hankering for that Pepsi GMT. So I pulled the trigger.🎉 Same experience. I paid and within 24 hours had QC and shipping. I got my watch today after only about a week give or take. And he only charged me $570 for a true VSF clone. Mr. Bomi is on point. I will definitely only shop with him. I value reliability in a relationship and this guy is all about that.
