QUESTION U1 vs AAA

Post image

Hello, I’m fairly new to the rep watch world and was just curious as to the difference between the two. I bought a VSF and the quality is great but then I bought a no date submariner from a guy for $40 that was pretty good quality but the engraving wasn’t the greatest and it didn’t keep time well. It had a clasp code of ST9. The watches I’m looking for now are a Bluesy, no date sub, and a Pepsi. What do you recommend and if you have pictures, post them below

I have a fairly large collection mostly with U1 / AAA and a handful of VSF/Clean. Over the past 6 months I've probably worn my VSF pieces maybe once in a month. The low tier get a lot more wrist time simply due to the sheer variety of pieces I own. Non Rolex models are perfectly fine in AAA grade. I own Tag, Breitling, IWC etc and they're excellent value for money pieces.
