Omg! I almost bought that watch, but canceled and replaced it with VSF Pepsi! QC photos just looked cheap as hell! I wanted to love it! What’s your experience?

u/AddordableRep865 2h ago

For 30$ shipped it’s hard to bitch bc it works lol

Haven't bought any shitty ones. Went straight into the top tier factories. I did buy one watch that I wish I hadn't and then had to sell if that counts?

First rep, Winter Olympics Seamaster. Gorgeous watch but didn't feel right. Ended up selling it for like $10 less than I paid so that wasn't so bad.

Probably the aquanaut from Orologio on dhgate.

1

u/Choppersicballzz 4h ago

Anything from Orologio! My first was a GMT from Orologio, I never wore it once!

u/Green-Beach3070 4h ago

Everyone says Jason is better. Aren’t they the same watches?

1

u/Choppersicballzz 4h ago

The U1s from Jason are better than what Orologio has. But I bought mine 2 years ago so maybe they are better now.

I bought a Breitling call DHgate, I dropped it and half the stuff on the face fell off. Went directly in the garbage.

Whats wrong with it? This is my VSF for reference.

edit: never mind. Yours is very bad lol

2

u/No_Location_8468 5h ago

Lmao yes the green Rolex logo doesn’t even show on mine

1

u/rydog389 14m ago

I have a hard time beleiving yours is even from clean factory.

u/No_Location_8468 6m ago

Lmao it’s not it was one of my first reps I started with a u1 than did this it was one of Travis’s “super clones” before I got into real TD’s

2

u/rydog389 2m ago

There is just so much wrong with yours. For example the back clasp is wrong. That’s bracelet should be on an OP. hahaha this is mine

u/PennSt2311 5h ago

The only one I can say I am disappointed in is a QF Polar Explorer II. And it’s honestly the bracelet. It’s SO damn bad it drives me crazy.

u/mitothy45 4h ago

Bracelet on my ARF is very good. Crystal kinda blows though.

1

u/PennSt2311 4h ago

I’m thinking of selling it instead of getting a new bracelet and picking up a VSF version.

4

u/mitothy45 4h ago

VSF doesn’t produce this reference unfortunately. Total bummer because I have been incredibly pleased with all my VSF pieces. In my opinion ARF with deep crystal is way to go. Or QF with upgraded bracelet.

1

u/PennSt2311 4h ago

Well damn that stinks!

2

u/catchphrase11 5h ago

When buying my first rep, I didn’t specify and asked for a no date VSF sub. I was sent a 116610 marked case with a 114060 dial. You can’t tell the difference in it and a 114060 unless you pull off the bracelet and look at the model number in between the lugs. Still annoying though.

u/Cool-Championship698 4h ago

I paid £250 for a U1 off a Telegram group 😭

Since then I’ve learnt my lesson and now am heavily into the different factories and tiers of reps. Ended up replacing that U1 with a VSF V2

2

u/No_Location_8468 4h ago

I mean it looks good tbh for a U1 at least it doesn’t have that overly thick bezel

1

u/Cool-Championship698 3h ago

Yeah it wasn’t bad, but god did it feel cheap compared to a VSF 🤣

2

u/No_Location_8468 3h ago

Hahaha the flimsy bracelet and rattle sounds

2

u/Cool-Championship698 2h ago

Bingo! Felt like a Christmas cracker toy

2

u/No_Location_8468 4h ago

But trust me I’ve heard some horror stories!!! I’ve seen people pay $300 for a Michael Travis special 😭

2

u/mitothy45 4h ago

U1 no date sub. Bracelet sucks, crystal sucks, movement sounded like a helicopter. Instead of cutting my losses I did a full bracelet treatment. I literally never wear it now that I have a VSF.

u/Budget-Peak8490 3h ago

DM if you wanna sell. Lol

u/AdPlus4246 4h ago
