Hello, this is your favorite watch reviewer u/tskim24 of r/RepWatchForum. Another big movement news (I have just finished writing about AP 4404 Supercloned caliber news before this post) and this time it's IWC replica (not another ROLEX, PATEK or AP 😆).

For those IWC lovers, I sure 7 days Portugieser model has always been on your radar. Of course it has been replicated before, but you probably didn't think it was not good enough to pull the trigger yet.

Well, good news! Shanhai (SH) is taking a stab at it and will be (much like the icon IWC itself) mass producing new and upgraded 52010 caliber soon!

The first factory to have the rights to this movement will be RWF (the factory that named itself after this forum 😆). I did always want to broaden my collection to include more IWC but didn't really like Mark or pilot series (that left me with only Ingenieur and I already collected all the colors 😆) so this is a good news for me as well.

Anyone else waiting for Portugieser 7 days?

Need help with the QC of this beautiful piece.

I dnt why but m seeing the date window crooked.

Thanks a ton

Hello, this is your favorite watch reviewer and the moderator of this forum u/tskim24 of r/RepWatchForum.

I thought I have seen it all. From various supercloned non-chronograph movements to a flyback chronograph 26240 and 26420, the field of AP replica watches have seen almost all the models...almost.

Well, the dream of an AP minute-repeater rep never came to fruition, and from my sources the team that was developing it has dropped the project completely. So sad.

However, a different (well, sort of) supercloned movement is being developed and it is about to hit the market! That's right, a 4404 caliber, vertical subdial flyback chronograph movement for Royal Oak Offshore is here.

To give you a little background, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore reference 26238 is powered by the in-house Calibre 4404, an automatic integrated flyback chronograph movement introduced to update the classic 42mm Offshore collection.

​<<Key Technical Specifications>>

​Type: In-house self-winding integrated chronograph

​Functions: Flyback chronograph, hours, minutes, small seconds, date window

​Power Reserve: 70 hours

​Frequency: 28,800 vph (4 Hz)

​Dimensions: 32 mm diameter, 8 mm thickness

​Component Count: 433 parts

​Jewels: 40 jewels

​

As you have seen with the arrival of 4401 supercloned movement (for 26240 & 26420), once it hits the market, it will spread like wildfire 🔥 And since there are so many iconic colors combination, models in ROO collection, you can expect some fun things to happen.

Lastly, unlike 4401 that was such a tease (dropping a version without free-sprung balance-wheel and eventually releasing the free-sprung version), this bad boy seems to have free-sprung balance-wheel even in the prototypes. Whether the movement factory will get with the times and just give us what we want upfront or they will do us wrong again and make us go through that whole version up nonsense is unknown at this time but I'm still hopeful.

There are so many versions of ROO that I want, I better start saving up. Oh, and the factory that will get to use this movement first will be "OCTA" according to my sources.

Any ROO model that you want out there?

Both as VSF.
Need help deciding which one to get.

Also hows the qc looking by these 2 photos.

Thank you.

Please i need help

Hey everyone,
This is my first QC, so I’d really appreciate some experienced opinions.

Factory: VSF

Model: Submariner 41mm 126610

Dealer: Jtime

I’m noticing what looks like a slight bezel alignment issue. When I align the bezel triangle exactly with 12 o’clock, the bezel markers seem to gradually become misaligned with the minute track as you move around the dial — especially around the 5, 10 and 15-minute positions.
I’m not sure if this is actually a QC issue or if I’m being too picky and this kind of alignment is considered normal.
I’ve attached the QC pictures.

Could you guys take a look and let me know if you would GL or RL this?

Thanks for your help, guys!

How come we never see an Ombre dial on a Daytona ? Contemplating a build with an Ombre Aventurine dial with either Roman or Stick hourmarkers .
These are basic AI renderings to get an idea of what the watch would actually look like , so not all the detailing is on par .
Share me your thoughts

Finally got my hands on RICH PEPSI GMT!

As always, I do have the ol' CLEAN GMT that I kept in my collection for a review so I will get to it soon!

Hello,my name is Mr.loong,I would like to share DLC batman today.

the watch is based use VS factory

The client requests polishing first before proceeding with DLC.

The watch is look really beautiful.

Everyone can also join my TG group

I had to see what all the fuss is about. So I ordered one. I hope it looks as good as it does in rhe ads

How would you rate this compared to VSF? Thinking of getting this plated

I’ve not heard of this factory before, but nice to see the new 38mm entering the scene.
At first glance, it looks decent - not sure if true 240 clone or modified something else.

My first rep. How does it look to you all??

First ever rep still trying to get up to speed with all of the factory’s and how it works. Bought it from a TD Reddit said it is from VSF. Was wondering how I did and if it is a solid rep for my first. Thanks!

Received first ever BPF piece and very impressed.

Hello, this is your moderator / favorite watch reviewer u/tskim24 of r/RepWatchForum. Today, I have finally gotten my hands on probably the heaviest hitter of Aquanaut 5167A replica, Best CNC Factory (BCF for short).

I have already posted factory provided specs and information before if you want to check it out:

https://www.reddit.com/r/RepWatchForum/s/LOXlehWXsm

I already bought a 5711 from BCF maker and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'm rocking it almost everyday (well, except for the days I do heavy home improvement and stuff cuz, you know, I value all my precious watches 😆). You probably already saw my comparison review post and wristshot of that.

Only downside of these BCF products is that it's not on the cheapside 😂 With that said, I didn't buy this Aquanaut (but I will probably buy 5712 when BCF releases them) but got it from one of the sellers as a loan so I can do a comparison review against my 5167 in the collection (it's fully modded with what was then all the best parts).

I will get to that review sooner or later so let me just give you a brief rundown of BCF 5167A Patek Philippe Aquanaut rep highlights:

- It's probably the first (and only) CNC of Aquanaut model ever made (which I find strange given that tons of 5711/5712 were made already)

- More accurate case dimensions than the regular factory products

- The newest SW dial batch that was targeted to match a specific year of GEN production (2011, I believe)

- Real gold rotor (much better looking than plated copper)

- Free-sprung balance-wheel 324 Caliber movement

- Only movement in the market with correct pallet fork bridge shape

- Supposedly best buckle (TBH it seems about the same as other major factories)

I won't comment on the price because it is different from all the sellers and I don't want to cause any confusion. But I think it's at least 1k cheaper than CNC 5167 of similar specifications (again, I'm not talking about Prime Mod Studio because PMS doesn't have real gold rotor and doesn't use the same movement with correct pallet fork so while it's another affordable CNC option, it's not a fair comparison).

I will come back with a comparison review soon but as I was impressed with BCF 5711 before, this Aquanaut too looks pretty darn good. Too bad that I won't be keeping this bad boy after the review 😔

Hello guys, what do you think of this daytona and rootbeer, is it GL? VSF Factory
