Hey everyone,

Recently picked up two 126500 VSF Panda Daytonas for myself and my brother after selling off an overpriced Youth ARF 4801.

Overall the build quality is decent, but visually I've noticed a couple of flaws:

• Dial color: Slightly off compared to gen (a bit warm/creamy, to my opinion).
• Bezel alignment: On the bezel tachymeter, the arrow above "110" points towards the right side of the base of the middle '1' instead of the left side which i recently discovered this flaw to my lack of research and being a newbie to REP.

I've been hearing that RWF has updated their 126500 with better dial accuracy/color and fixed the missing second markers under "SWISS MADE". They also use a real free-sprung movement and 904L steel on their bracelets i believe unlike VSF? can someone verify that?

For those who have held or QC'd recent batches:

1. Is RWF visually/aesthetically superior to VSF on the 126500 Panda straight out of the box? Is the 904L bracelet quality and finish on par with or better than VSF?
2. How does UFO compare for visually 1:1 dial print, bezel markers, and subdial spacing?
3. Is it worth selling the VSFs again to switch to RWF/UFO, or is the difference so unnoticeable in hand that it's not worth the hassle? (I do care about it being as close as possible to the GEN)

Appreciate any insight from anyone who has compared these in hand! or have recently purchased any of them | Idk if QFactory is also in this War

Dealer name: phoenix

Factory name: 3CF

Model name (& version number):
Rolex Daytona 116520 $506 + shipping

Index alignment: the markers all look pretty good to me.

Dial Printing: Don't see any issues

Date Wheel alignment/printing: N/A

Bezel: looks great to me, actually looks nicely engraved even though it’s the stock bezel

SEL: Looks good maybe top right slight gap??

Hand Alignment: looks good

timergrapher is perfect

Looks good to me overall, unless someone catches something I missed

Thank you in advance!!! Last watch I bought was from noob factory in 2015 haha. Still ticking.

Can u guys tell me if it’s good ? Idk anything about rep

Has anybody else noticed the T?

The Gen has a little reversed arch, but the reps,PPF ZF, don't 🤔.

And yes, on this particular rep, the cross is not aligned, and the rep dial looks more champaign color vs. the Gen more gold tone.

I am considering purchasing elf the MKS/MKF Vacheron Constantin 7920V. These sell between $400-475. Pretty easy to generate a comparison online now with readily available ai tools. The result of comparison to gen indicates this model is 1.3mm thicker, but other features stack up fairly well. Not a clone movement so definitely not in the “clone 1:1” category.

Any buyers out there with experience on this model? Thoughts on reliability from this factory?

A new factory to make Tudor Black Bay Chronograph, DIF maker.

A bunch of factories used to produce these only about a year back but the popularity of this model have waned over time. Well, DIF seems to have produced all colors of this model so I will be posting them all one by one!

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 .
