Less than a year later and my box is full 😂

Hi guys,

I own a couple of gens, but honestly, after figuring out how the whole AD game works and reading posts like this, I’ve started getting into reps.

I mean, you save thousands, get the watch you actually want, wear the shit out of it, and don’t have to kiss anyone’s ass or prove you’re worthy of spending your own hard-earned money. And at the end of the day, nobody gives a shit about where you bought it or what you do with it.
Seriously, just look at the post I’ve attached. This isn’t some shitpost or made-up story. It’s a real person being treated like that just for the privilege of spending thousands of dollars at an authorized dealer.

How fucking ridiculous is that? Imagine having to play stupid games, build a relationship, and potentially buy watches you don’t even want just to earn the right to buy the one you actually came for.

I love watches, but I’m not about to let some sales associate decide whether I’m worthy of buying one.
Honestly, the more I see this shit, the more I understand why people are turning to reps. At some point, you have to wonder who’s playing who.

$280 + $40 shipping took around 3 weeks total

After owning a few different reps, I’ve somehow realised I’ve never done Tudor.

God knows why, they just haven’t really stood out to me up until now.

I’ve narrowed it down to these 3 for now, I think a BlackBay would be a solid choice for a first, before moving into other lines.

Anyone got any preferences for Tudor, wrist shots and opinions would massively help :)

I was at Bangkok a few days ago and went to MBK Center, and got myself a VSF Submariner No Date for 16000 baht.

From my understanding from what I saw online there's no real VSF watches at MBK.

The movement is currently pretty good, I've timed it and it is +/- 2 seconds a day.

and the power reserve is indeed 70 hours I tested it as well, there a photo of the movement that I took when the seller showed me.

Serial Number - 6X07A359

Clasp Code - E7Y

Can someone take a look and tell me if I was ripped off?

Ordered my first rep from China.

Customs held it asking for receipt and proof of payment.

Questions for everyone;

A) has this ever happened to you?
B) is the watch now a write off?
C) am I now flagged for future orders?

Thanks everyone.

How would you like your Wimbledon served? Can you guess which factories are they from?

VF Yacht-Master Titanium

⛳️Tuesday wrist checkpoint⛳️

probably my fav color dial so far, absolutely stunning piece!

What’s everyone wearing today on timepiece Tuesday?

Havent been able to take this batgirl off since I received it from Steve.

Let’s see those wrists

Is it worth getting this variant because I like the gray dial and the more matte aesthetic, or is it better to just get a more generic Pilot Mark XX? Would be great if anyone has this rep and can tell me their experience with it. Thanks!

Picked this beauty up over on UKrepBST from NWBIGUK, over the moon with the finishing. Third rep, have a VSF DJ36 and a ZF BB58 GMT, this is by far my favourite and the most premium looking/feeling.

Hey everyone.

For my next watcg I was thinking about getting the "On her majesty's secret service" and because of the display case back and the free sprung movement, I decided to try ORF.

While there are many QC posts for VSF, I hadn't seen any pictures of ORF before.

I just received the qc pictures from my TD and dial looks to be a matt gray texture while it looks like glossy black ceramic with vsf and gen (I have only seen pictures online). Also the pattern on the dial looks somehow shallow.

I was wondering how everybody else thinks about this watch. Does the dial look off to you?

I'd appreciate any input.

Got this watch as a gift while traveling. Does it appear to be a GL off looks? Wondering if it looks to be VSF / serials look good?

Thought I would put the VSF Bluesey on today

Haven’t seen many of these around here.

I know it has its obvious flaws, like the bezel screws not being rose gold to name only one, but I really love it. Such a beautiful watch! Just wanted to share :)

The Tudor Pelagos Ultra has been released, and as of this year, two replica versions have become available: the ZF version and the M+ version.

When these two versions were first released, neither was considered NWBIG or even a super rep.

However, it now seems that ZF may have released a V2 version.

I'm curious to hear how the current versions compare to the gen, which factory currently produces the closest overall replica, and whether the latest updates have made a meaningful difference in terms of accuracy and overall quality.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, experiences, and comparisons!

Have any of you got the chance to order any of those Cartier Santos small versions? I see those are the only ones within Andiot website, in my opinion the dial and gold tone are more accurate on DRF but I see a lot of inconsistencies on each of their pieces. Andiot recommended AF. Any thoughts?
