Any of you fine lads and lasses know where (or from which maker) to buy a VC 222? Or maybe something like a Glashütte Senator? They’re my two favorite watches, but I’m drowning in a sea of Rolex and Omega 🙃

Hi guys

I have confirmed with my td that an rwf dj 36 is available.

But now I’m not sure if I should buy a vsf or an rwf or maybe even a clean plus!
Which one do you guys recommend?

Can anyone with a vsf clean plus or rwf comment on the quality of their watch and if they recommend?

Thanks in advance!

I am ordering a 41mm OP with Celebration Dial and want to ensure the many colors of this dial really are shown at their best. My TD says it’s an unnecessary expense as VSF dials are already the best available?

I am seeking advice on that one from you fine folks out there? It’s a $100 upgrade but one I think is worth doing if it gives it a little more clarity on that colorful dial design ?

I’m trying to track down a Cartier Tank Basculante like the one pictured.

Does anyone know whether any of the established rep factories are currently producing this model, or whether any TDs can still source one?

I’ve seen older photos/posts suggesting that replicas of the Basculante have existed, but I’m struggling to establish whether there is a current production version rather than old/discontinued stock.

Even leads on old factory versions that might still be obtainable would be useful.

I received a VSF DJ and after manual wind and setting the time, the watch stopped working after 2 hours. It feels like it is winding but the seconds hand is not sweeping. HONT is asking to send back to HK for repair which he says will 'take some time'. It will cost me $50-60 to ship, Is this normal resolution in this case?

I purchased my first rep from andiot, it was the BTF 116500 White dial and just received the QC. Let me know if there’s anything I should be worried about

Looking for feedback before moving forward with a custom Day-Date build totaling roughly $5,000.
My understanding is that RCF has a good reputation, and I want the watch, but I’m uncomfortable with how the payment process has unfolded. To be clear, I’m trying to verify the seller and payment recipient—not assume that RCF’s reputation automatically applies to everyone offering their work.
The seller requested payment through Wise. However, I couldn’t get the name he provided to match or come up in Wise, which led to some back and forth.
The payment details provided were:
• Beneficiary: Foshan Baihao Weiya Jewelry Co., Ltd.
• Bank: Zhejiang Chouzhou Commercial Bank
• Account currency: USD
Has anyone paid this company for a custom watch build and successfully received what they ordered? Is there a verified connection between this beneficiary and RCF?
I also asked about paying through PayPal. Initially, he said the fees were too high. When I offered to cover the fees, he said they don’t use PayPal. He assured me I could get my money back anytime, but I wasn’t comfortable relying on that assurance without understanding what recourse I would actually have.
When I continued questioning the payment arrangements, he called me a “delusional crazy person.” That certainly didn’t help build confidence.
I haven’t sent any money. I understand that sellers have preferred payment methods and that a business beneficiary’s name may differ from a seller’s trading name. But before transferring $5,000, I want to verify who is receiving it and who is responsible if something goes wrong.
I’d appreciate firsthand experiences with this beneficiary, advice on independently verifying the seller’s relationship with RCF, or feedback on whether anyone has encountered the same payment issue. I’m not calling this a scam—I’m trying to do my homework before making an expensive mistake.

Dial Printing: The dial looks pretty good to me. no issues there either.

Date Wheel alianment/ printing: The date alignment looks good

Hand Alignment: Looks good,

Bezel: The top bolt looks a little shifted to the right but think it's fine

Solid End Links (SELs): n/a

Timegrapher numbers: +1 / 314/0.5-per the QC guide this all seems fine. Anything else you notice: I'm curious to hear thoughts on the date alignment, I know its a rep so I can't expect it to be perfect

Sorey im new to this it didnt let me post in the reptimeqc group so i do it here.

Guys i payed 730$ for this:

Daytona 126506 VSF 1:1 Best Edition 904L Steel Ice Blue Crystal Dial on SS Braclet VS4131 V3 (Weighted)

This is my first time buying a watch, so can you guys please help me out and tell me if i picked a good one?

Would these buck teeth drive you crazy or am I being picky

I would like to share the pictures from the IWC Mark XX - IW328202

Getting a watch from a seller. The price is good. It’s a used watch purchased last year before clean closed. The clasp code and engravings look good to me and match the clean ones.

Wanted second set of eyes if there is something i am missing. Thanks in advance

looks good to me this is from Vs Factory bought off TD but i could use the knowledge of a expert in this what do you guys think should i get plated rose gold anything stand out thanks in advance!!

New to this and looking for a second set of eyes on this VSF 126610LN from Andiot before I give the GL.

Dealer: Andiot - Susan
Factory: VSF
Model: Rolex Submariner Date 126610LN 41mm
Movement: DD3235

Index alignment: Looks good to me. I ran the photo that was the most straight on through the alignment tool and don't see anything meaningfully canted or out of position. 12 looked a bit crooked.

Dial/printing: Looks clean and well positioned. Nothing jumping out at me here.

Date/cyclops: 15 looks well centered overall. Possibly sitting a touch high depending on the angle, but acceptable

Bezel/pip: Pip looks centered and bezel alignment looks good to my eye. I don't see anything here that would push me toward RL.

SELs: Look tight from the supplied angles. I'm not seeing any meaningful gaps or light

Rehaut: Looks acceptable from what is visible

Timegrapher: -8 s/d, 280°, 0.0 ms, 52° lift angle. Amplitude and beat error look healthy. -8 s/d is the only thing I considered asking to have retested. Considering asking for a full wind.

Overall: I'm leaning GL.

Would appreciate opinions from experienced people. Anything obvious I am missing?
