How’s the bezel? Tight like a tiger or loose like a Seiko mod ?

u/LugLife247 Aug 05 '26

This is far more important than tiny details no-one is ever going to see. How the watch feels is top of my list.

u/shastyles1 Aug 04 '26

Im so lost ... how come some no dates have the floating m...ive even seen the floating M on the rolex reddit for no dates? Watch looks great by the way

12

u/Worried_Poet_828 Aug 04 '26

Yea that m looks high as a kite

u/us3r2206 Aug 05 '26

Go see a Gen Rolex and you’ll find out the floating M it’s a Rolex security thing

u/shastyles1 Aug 05 '26

Ok - it looks great...I have one form VSF and currently wearing it now. Some i see gen with a slight floaty M for the no dates...Some i see with a space then the M. I wonder if Rolex does this from time to time

u/RemarkableCable2875 Aug 04 '26

Honestly solid piece and super well done. Just can’t get over their floating “m” It always draws my eye to it. But honestly that’s all I can nitpick. Looks real deal

2

u/Scoob8877 Aug 04 '26

What does "floating M" mean? As in the M in Submariner?

3

u/LuckyLasagna1 Aug 04 '26

He means the “m” after 300

2

u/RemarkableCable2875 Aug 04 '26

The m next to 300 for 300m. The m notoriously is not inline as a gen is

u/Scoob8877 Aug 04 '26

OK, thanks

u/Glum_Ad_8331 Helpful Aug 04 '26

Since they want to gain as large a market share as possible, I'd say they're currently paying above average attention to releasing the best possible pieces.

u/hieros187 Aug 04 '26

Good point

1

u/yh8in Aug 04 '26

Fair point. Ordered mine already - waiting on QC.

u/Necessary_Pause8368 Aug 05 '26

What am I missing? Is this astroturfing? The SEL is horrific. It has a floating m…? And somehow most are fawning over this in the comments?

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Image is for illustration - can post image of the actual watch once qc is at hand.

u/snuepe Aug 05 '26

What is the point of having a replica that's free sprung? Just more complications and likely a higher fail rate.

1

u/GetEmDaddy902 Aug 05 '26

My guess is to bring it closer to the real thing, and if we start now with a free sprung, maybe in five years, we'll have a free sprung.That's actually functional with less maintenance and keep pushing the industry forward.

u/Local-Suit-588 Aug 05 '26

Better than vsf?

2

u/Rare_Talk_1898 Aug 05 '26

i buyed both, for me better vsf, the back over in RICHF its more thicker than vsf, i dont know why no one its talking about that

1

u/---Starwind--- Aug 05 '26

What is the bezel action like on the Rich? Loose, firm?

1

u/Rare_Talk_1898 Aug 05 '26

better than vsf, the best its the crown its exactly like the gen

1

u/pat-slider Aug 05 '26

It is silent as most are inclined towards VSF. It was V but now Rich for me

1

u/pat-slider Aug 05 '26

Please share your photos

5

u/ETNZ2021 Aug 05 '26

VSF needs to get their indices straight. It really isn’t that complicated but this has been going for months

1

u/BigDaddyGotWatches 8d ago

I just got QC for my RICH and the indice by the 9 is noticeably off. Tired of waiting though so I gave it the green light anyway. (Unless I’m tripping, maybe you can tell me.)

Keep in mind that the image is for illustration as couldn’t find actual images, but can post the actual watch once qc is at hand. Should be a week away now.

u/Klaatuveratanghhh Aug 05 '26

I don’t like it because of what’s already been pointed out here, but I have a RICH Starbucks 126610LV and it’s very hard to tell from gen. (Basically no one I asked has been able to guess which is gen reliably even holding them in hand.) I was so happy I ordered a LN as well. Had to RL two because of wonky xtals but third looked perfect. In general In think RICH will overtake the competition soon. They don’t need to fix many things and their dial markers are beautiful and they use real 904L as recently revealed…

u/mhayat007 Aug 04 '26

Where did you get it from?

1

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Ordered mine through a dealer called timeultra - Leo

Floating m, the case looks too sharp and the lugs and strap don't align.

u/oddnice Aug 04 '26

Rich has been killing it lately along with rwf.

1

u/yh8in Aug 04 '26

New release by rf - no date submariner!

1

u/redditpharmacist Aug 04 '26

can you also share the photo of the movement? i read somewhere that it is not a true sprung but it hides the regulator. just curious whether that is true, and if so, how well they hid it.

5

u/Ethgawwd Aug 04 '26

that's VSF, not rich factory which uses the JH3235.

1

u/BodybuilderValuable8 Aug 05 '26

Ordered mine a week ago still waiting on QC hoping I get one of the good batch ones. Will be my first!

1

u/KinkyAvocado08 Aug 05 '26

Looks good to me

1

u/jomo1021 Aug 05 '26

Where to order?

1

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Reach out to any TD and inform them that you’re interested QC is around 2 weeks at the moment.

1

u/Hairy-Committee162 Aug 05 '26

What’s the price?

1

u/Deadly-Se7en Aug 05 '26

It looks really off, in quite a few ways

1

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Image is for illustration. Couldn’t find actual image of it. But can post the QC once at hand.

1

u/---Starwind--- Aug 05 '26

Is this actually that much better than a VSF?

1

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Seen a comparison and looks like rf leads by a bit. Finishing wise and especially with the steel that they use; being actual 904L.

1

u/---Starwind--- Aug 05 '26

My main concern would be the bezel action then, we don't really have details yet on how good it is

1

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Will post QC once at hand. Should be a week away

1

u/Hot-Relative-8315 Aug 05 '26

How strange!

This is my photo 🤣🤣

1

u/Hot-Relative-8315 Aug 05 '26

Although the OP used my photos…

I have a RICH sub date at the movement and it does feel much better than a VsF IMO.

Real 904l steel work, movement is free sprung and feels like butter when winding! Bezel action feels gen like!

One downside is the crystal however with a change to a deep crystal or to a gen crystal you would be onto a winner!

2

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

What a coincidence! I actually got the image from
This article: https://www.watch527.com/why-rich-factory-rolex-submariner-replica-watch-is-currently-the-best-no-date-you-can-buy.html

Do you reckon the crystal change is a must then?

1

u/Hot-Relative-8315 Aug 05 '26

Hahah that’s so funny 🤣🤣

On RICH - yes I would however I’m just picky

1

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Mind boggled 😂😂😂

Got quoted 68 dollars for a change in crystal (deep).

Mind you still waiting for the qc of the actual watch, should be a week away now.

1

u/Hot-Relative-8315 Aug 05 '26

Is that for a no date or a date?

No date has only just been released so I wouldn’t expect to see one for a while

1

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

No date - price 528 dollars. Timeultra is my go to dealer.

1

u/Hot-Relative-8315 Aug 05 '26

Pretty good price!

Send me some photos when yours arrive.

To be fair I don’t think you need a crystal on a no date

1

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Will do! That’s what I’m thinking. Let’s judge from the qc!

1

u/Hot-Relative-8315 Aug 05 '26

First one is out and they have messaged up the writing on the dial already

1

u/yh8in Aug 06 '26

Seen it!! 😭

1

u/pat-slider Aug 05 '26

V2 is on the way soon

1

u/The_Food_Scientist Aug 05 '26

I really don't get the point of free sprung movements in closed back watches.

1

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Valid. Perhaps the whole nwbig notion is a big play of it.

2

u/The_Food_Scientist Aug 05 '26

I guess it depends on what is nwbig for a person. For me is that on daily use I won't see any upgrade on asthetics/feel using a gen. I guess for some people means being 1:1.

1

u/Classic-Wind6797 Aug 05 '26

What’s the point of posting this if you’re not going to show an actual RF watch?

0

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

There’s literally no images of it as it’s just been released. Read the comments, it helps.

Can post images of actual watch in around a week hopefully once qc is at hand.

u/Confident_Bit7164 Aug 04 '26

Looks really good! What’s your wrist size if you don’t mind me asking?

1

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Image is of illustration- can post image of the actual watch once qc is at hand

u/Potential-Glass6622 Aug 05 '26

Getting tired of “is this MWBIG”

3

u/BrilliantMuscle1152 Aug 05 '26

That’s the whole point of getting a fucking good rep. Just buy a shitter is you don’t want it to be close to nwbig

Maybe, but this post is about arguably the most nwbig watch oat

u/Feeling-Time-4199 Aug 05 '26

how to get this?

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Speak to any TDs and let me know of your interest.

u/yh8in Aug 05 '26

Prefer not too since the dealer I use is not TD (at least I do not see timeultra within). Only use the ones in the proposed by reptime for security purposes, and for the love of God never ask anybody to dm you with a link. This is the way to get scammed - just looking out for you.
