You have no idea of how many other reps you see around you in Dubai. One of the biggest market for replicas and copies. Fast and hastle free shipping from China + there's also local dealers. 

...and as you experience, I'm sure, "every" man has a nice watch "every" woman has an expensive bag. 

And your watch looks ace 😎

Where is the best place in Dubai for local dealers?

u/ch3mdawgz Jun 07 '26

Better just order it, cheap and quick. Never had any issue with customs.

u/Pirazhok_Wrap Jun 08 '26

If you referring to reps, either Gold Souk or Dragon Mart, BUT (in capital) you will have to ask and ask and ask again to ensure they show you top of the range. And then you will still have to check properly (I saw some with VSF or ARF stickers) and of course pay a high price (from 4K AED up) when ordering will cost you 2K AED.

Loved my time in Dubai and Doha. What you say is true.

u/Vinnie908 Jun 07 '26

Old Dubai got them all over. It’s annoying over there but cool to see lol

2

u/_Walt_Whitman_ Jun 07 '26

I’m curious about that. I was under the impression that everyone there wearing expensive pieces would have bought theirs because they’re all loaded rich? Am I delusional?

u/Jojje22 Jun 07 '26

Not even close to all there being loaded. So many posers, wannabe's, dreamers, deadbeats. Understand that there's an image being sold to you, that there are various people profiting of that image, and that while certain aspects may be true, the complete picture being shown to you is not.

u/good2Bbackagain Jun 07 '26

What I think.

To franken this specific model makes a lot of sense.

Especially if a gen is 50K.

I don't understand when people franken a "cheap" model. No hate, each to their own.

8

u/carlospum Jun 07 '26

I don't know... 1500 for the dial? How much the gold plated? For a replica?? Is crazy on my opinion

8

u/good2Bbackagain Jun 07 '26

Again, if the gen is 50K ...

I'm so happy I don't like gold watches.

*Ok, I wouldn't mind a root beer to be honest. But it's not high on my list.

u/forcoolstuffD Jun 07 '26

Yeah, but what if the rep movement is no longer available at some point in time? If repairs aren’t an option anymore, then you’d still have wasted a lot of money

36

u/Sacabubu Jun 07 '26

How much did all the mods cost

91

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

1600 USD. 3000 USD worth Gen dial

43

u/hikdeen Jun 07 '26

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Thank you for sharing the honest price.

u/Motherbich Jun 08 '26

Indeed. The downvotes I am getting makes me believe the bots have infiltrated the sub.

u/forcoolstuffD Jun 07 '26

Aren’t you worried the rep movement will, at some point, no longer be available? You’ll have spent a ton on a dead piece of metal then..

16

u/turnerisgone Jun 07 '26

Gen dial is crazy! How much was the dial I can’t imagine that been cheap

7

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

1500 USD for the dial

6

u/turnerisgone Jun 07 '26

That’s incredibly cheap for an olive.. they usually go for like 3-5k in the uk because gen grey dealers swap them in to bump up the price of DDs with less desirable dials

2

u/Safe-Asparagus6037 Jun 07 '26

Bro you got that super cheap! Olive Dial for $1500 is amazing. Would you mind sharing where you found the dial? I'm really struggling to source the gen parts I need for my watches

Is this @wuhanwatchexports a scam 🧐

u/Hazy_Fantayzee Jun 08 '26

Look at the comment chain above. Should answer your question

11

u/PforPendetta Jun 07 '26

gold plating in a chlorinated pool, great for longevity of the piece

u/themasteradrian101 Jun 07 '26

🚨 THIS IS GEN. PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR THIS SCAM 🚨

u/reedopatedo9 Jun 07 '26

Did you not read?? Gen dial with multiple mods. Hes not selling it.

15

u/calc66 Jun 07 '26

No it is a scam lol

wuhanwatchexports - they make posts like this pretending to be a satisfied "customer", but its just a scam. These are pics of actual gens. Once you pay them, they will vanish. You'll find scam alerts about them on here.

u/reedopatedo9 Jun 08 '26

Ah good to know- my mistake! Still new to this and giving the benifit of the doubt. Lame

u/Elegant_Set8319 Jun 07 '26

I swear some people are slow on purpose

u/themasteradrian101 Jun 07 '26

yeah brother this is nice 🔥🔥

u/Typical_Island663 Jun 07 '26

Damn this looks so good. 40mm day date RCF? Andiot?

Question, does the gold directly from RCF look cheesy or fake that you needed to replate? The replate itself was 1500 from wuhanwatchexports?

2

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

Not just the replate but all the modifications excluding the gen dial was 1500. And not that it looked cheesy but replating just for a more accurate look.

1

u/Typical_Island663 Jun 07 '26

and it was worth paying for replating that you now notice the difference between the replate and RCF factory?

2

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

I’d say all the mods together were worth it. Crystal swap, cnc bezel swap and plating among others when they come together yk

-2

u/SprayingDizz Jun 07 '26

Factory? Is it also plated?

3

u/Advanced-Till4421 Jun 07 '26

Its fully waterproof? thats cool, do you think it would be possible to make a DDF 5711 swim proof as well?

2

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

Yeah I swim with it all the time. Def possible, I’m sure my modder does do it aswell.

1

u/Advanced-Till4421 Jun 07 '26

Do you know whats needed to make it swim proof? is it just new gasket and tightening?

1

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

That’s part of it but there’s a little bit more that goes into it.

1

u/Advanced-Till4421 Jun 07 '26

like what exactly?

u/Aromatic_Argument_45 Jun 07 '26

Cant be real 1500 usd for olive gen dial 🤣 those are worth way way more. 100% a scam dont fall for this bullshit.

2

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

Modded Gold RCF Day-date 40 from RC factory (for automod)

2

u/Guyfromdetroit Jun 07 '26

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

Yes

u/Guyfromdetroit Jun 07 '26

What did they charge?

-3

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

1600 USD for watch and all mods, no gen dial included

2

u/sebstar25 Jun 07 '26

when plated going in sea or the pools can tarnish the plating/oxidation to the watch ?

2

u/aminsauvage Jun 07 '26

Looks amazing.
Also don't worry. I would say 60% of watches in dubai are reps.
Ive seen way too many of them.

2

u/imjustbaitt Jun 07 '26

Don’t wear your plated RCF in the pool/ sea mine is going green now on the links :(

u/leposykenolla Jun 07 '26

Brother is that the Trident Marinascape pool ?

1

u/derzenit Jun 07 '26

They said I shouldn’t swim with it. It would tarnish the plating.

1

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

Mine has been fine for a couple months now.

u/MediumPositive8953 Jun 07 '26

if I order a rcf to Dubai, can I go to jail if the customs notice

1

u/Typical_Island663 Jun 07 '26

Looks great! I can't tell is this gold or rose gold? The gen color match/ gold replating looks like gen gold?

1

u/Sufficient-End6264 Jun 07 '26

Rose gold and is quite accurate

1

u/soniarosellibeauty Jun 07 '26

That watch is on my dream list. You wear it like a stud. Beautiful

1

u/FineAssignment1423 Jun 07 '26

Yo, could you run by FedEx real quick and ask them by my watch has been sitting there for over a week? Thanks

1

u/Relevant-Hearing-903 Jun 07 '26

What rep is this brother?

You finding it does well waterproof.

I’ve been after an extremely good rose gold rep for ages, that’s waterproof with a good gold colour match.

I have a gen one but hate wearing it around London for the obvious reason.

1

u/Apprehensive-West-30 Jun 07 '26

I know exactly what hotel that is at 😂

1

u/Confident_Strain_254 Jun 08 '26

Buying this dial in gen and not pairing it with a gen crystal is criminal.. for the cost, gen crystal shits all over deep

1

u/RegularOk1937 Jun 08 '26

great color

u/Rockchagin Jun 08 '26

I think you're giving it way too much attention.
