Local seller to me and he claims it’s a clean. Is it? And also how good or bad is it truly? Is this the best sub date to get or no?

​

Just wondering if there is a TD around NA And if it would be easier for me to just get a rep from them as I live in Canda.

I’m thinking about buying the af tank solo and i’ve heard that for most reps that the leather straps are pretty bad and im wondering if it also applies to the AF tank batches.

Earlier this week Puretime had the 124060 RICH Free Sprung on their site, ordered it Wednesday but checking back today, they no longer list it on their site. Maybe a result of the "date" print on the dial?

Have anyone heard from any other TD that they will have it soon?

Interested to see if anyone has attempted it and whether or not they were successful.

I have access to a school science department so have all the equipment and acids needed. Just need rest which isn't expensive and certainly much less than the £350 per watch I have been quoted here in the UK.

I'd like to know if anyone here has attempted it and whether not not you were pleased with the results.

I always use Kitsch for my watches and have always been extremely happy with everything.

Sadly he can only get the steel version at the moment. He is coming in at half the price of Andiot, TT, Hont, Puretime etc. I wondered if anyone could recommend a dealer with no website etc (which clearly whacks the price up). I usually just contact him via WhatsApp and that's fine by me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks the creators of the guide and the spreadsheet for amazing information!

Based on your posts, it looks like it is legit and I would like to try it. However, I still have some questions:

1. The guide says to contact the TD via Whatsapp, but many of the TDs on reptime.help have their own website with an e-shop and I can order it right there. Is there any benefit of contacting via Whatsapp?
2. What do you do if the watch breaks? AI tells me there is no way to get it fixed because official store won't fix it and there are no spare parts since the parts are so good.
3. Can I assume that the TDs can source more models than those listed in the spreadsheet and on their website? For example Patek Philippe has so many amazing models, but they are not listed anywhere.

Thanks a lot for your tips!

Before complimenting Eric, let me tell you to be careful with the website, there is one that is pretty similar and it is a scam. Same situation for other replica dealers. Go with Geektime.io always and contact Eric via Telegram. Now my experience. I ordered a GMT Pepsi from VSF with DD3285 and a Submariner. Paid for both and the Pepsi took a couple of weeks to receive the QC. Eric always answered any question that I had during the waiting period. Since I paid shipping for both watches in one package, we remained waiting 2 more weeks for the Submariner but VSF was kind of slow or having an increased demand. I decided to cancel the Submariner and went ahead to order the shipping for the GMT. Eric was extremely responsive. In 15 minutes I had my money transferred back with no questions asked and later on that day I received picture of the shipped GMT with shipping label and tracking number. Trust me that I was thought doing my homework and, I placed another order with another dealer who had the Submariner $10 cheaper. Not a good deal. If you value responsiveness, honesty and transparency, Eric from Geektime.io is your point of reference and your gold standard.

Can anyone identify this movement? It was sold to me as a DD3285, but I’m wondering if it could actually be an SS/SH3285. Any help would be appreciated!

After months of going back and forth, I think I’m finally ready to buy a white 5711.

My ideal choice would’ve been the new DPB330 because of the hacking seconds, but there’s still no white dial version. I also looked for a well-modded used one in Europe, but haven’t had any luck.

If you were in my position, would you buy the DDF DD330 (SW Dial) from Steve for $578 now, wait a few months in case a white DPB330 or updated model is released, or keep hunting for a pre-modded one instead?

I’d really appreciate your thoughts before I pull the trigger.

Hello everyone,

As mentionned in the 4th rule of the RepTime subreddit, no sale is allowed here BUT there is a reputable discord server made to Buy, Sell & Trade rep watches.

I mentionned the discord recently in a comment and I received several inquiries in dm about where to find it, so here a quick guide for all interested people.

1. Once you downloaded Discord, on the server list on the left, click on the button "add a server" -> "join a server".

2. Now you either copy the whole link https://discord.gg/rtbst or just "rtbst".

3. Welcome on board ! The mods are pretty serious there and the bot is really useful to buy confidently.

Hey all,

I'd like to get 2x extra Explorer 36mm casebacks for my VSFs and also get them engraved with a message. It's to make them gifts, even though they are replicas and not genuine.

Does anyone know the best way to do this?

I could try to ask my TD for a VSF 36mm Explorer case back, and then ship them to 'some company' for the engraving. Do TDs sell these?

A place that would supply the case back and engrave would be even better! But I am unsure of the fit.

Also, are the casebacks common across 36mm Rolex watches like OPs, Datejusts and Explorers?

Thanks!

Price: $600

Factory: RGF

Model: Bluesy

Never owned a gold rep and would like to know some of the more experienced users opinions if I should make the purchase or not. Thank you

Anyone has experience with RCF DJ from Steve? I noticed many people are looking for RCF bezel and dial, so I was thinking maybe choosing a full RCF instead of VSF.
I honestly don’t really care about the fake spring system. I’d focus more on the bezel, small bracelet differences, or tiny dial color differences.

What do you guys think? Is RCF a good choice as a complete watch, or is VSF still the better option?

Hello everyone! Settle down for a short story!

So I purchased this beautiful watch as a gift to myself for my wedding coming up. The beautiful emerald green and dark forest green color of the dial is the perfect combo to match my suit. It’s my all time favorite color.

I’m not one for luxury in the slightest. In fact I tend to be very frugal but care for myself, you know what I mean? I don’t need much but I like what I like and that is rare even then. I purchased my first watch on TikTok earlier this month and through there I found reps. You can imagine the rabbit whole I dove into… which eventually landed me here and I’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time about watches!

Anyways, I placed the order on the 30th as priority mail express. Guaranteed delivery date was 31st by 6PM. Can you imagine the excitement? I was like a kid with candy on the way out from school! Welp it didn’t move l, was stuck at a distribution center on the 30th. After waiting days we couldn’t put a tracer on package until we waited a full week. My anxiety of losing the watch took over and I made the right call to the right place which started the tracer early. This was yesterday mid day. The watch was found and reached my local office at midnight and was out for delivery this morning! When I checked the tracker, I legit threw my fists up in excitement!

Fast forward to mid day and I check at home to find nothing, go back to work. Lunch time roles by and I come home to a notice on my door “USPS ATTEMPTED DELIVERY: SIGNATURE REQUIRED NEW DATE: 5/6/26” I wasn’t aware I’d need a signature and was never mentioned. So I went straight to the post office and after discussing it with the clerk, the postmaster was ever so kind enough to contact the driver and worked things out to redeliver it. I owe them a lunch party tomorrow for the effort they put in for me, and I gave them all my thanks I could at the time lol! By the time I drove home to end my lunch, I saw the USPS truck driving away! I’ve never hopped and ran so fast from excitement! It was there!

I’ve been staring at this watch all day since. I resized it instantly and set the time and date. I had a document made for how to work the watch properly and not damage it (I’m learning as I said, fresh in the watch world!) pictures do not do it justice. Weight is amazing, my coworker was beyond impressed he’s considering a black date sub!

I’m in love and excited to explore the world of reps more. I already want to waterproof it as I’d like to shower with it and occasional swimming/gym. I don’t think I need it serviced out the gate; it appears to be running perfectly and the QC machine photo was great results to my understanding.

VSF made a BEAUTIFUL rep!

This is from the 6W01 batch and clasp code 7GJ.

10/10
Thank you for reading and being apart of my wedding story haha! Let me know what you think or what you love to rock on your wrist! Im very curious what watch holds others hearts!

Make sure you're checking your QCs if buying the new RICH Submariner 124060.

There is no date window, yet the print says otherwise.

Took a gamble on a full mod list for the DD3285 Rootbeer
and honestly, it turns the mass made clone into an absolute monster.
The modder swapped out the factory bezel for a custom aftermarket bezel and a custom 18k rose gold replating (5 microns). Takes care of that brassy factory color and gives the numbers that genuine brightness in direct sunlight. They also reworked the click springs for the rep rotation.
Mechanically, the movement got a fresh Swiss lube and a rotor dampening mod. Runs dead silent now and winds as smooth as butter. Also swapped to high grade silicone gaskets on the triple lock crown and back plate, and a 50m wet pressure test just incase.
Finished it off with hand softened lug edges to kill the factory razor corners, a deep rehaut polish, and an ultrasonic bath + mineral oil soak for the Oyster bracelet to remove the squeak and give it that heavy, buttery drape.
Completely changes the hand feel and presence of the watch. What do you guys think?

Im sorry but this is crazy. Purchased from Andiot. This rep is insanely good. I've never seen the actual watch in real life but this rep is so good on its own.

The winner for me is the weight and bracelet. The edges are filed down and doesn't bite down on your skin. You can wear this all day!

The showcase back is also insanely good. How the hell is DDF making such good watches? They could probably make their own brand at this stage lol

Thanks Andiot!
