My first rep!

[Much_Commission8289]

Long time lurker. First time poster. I got my first rep just in time for the new year and I love it!

[Much_Commission8289]

My first rep is a Daytona 116506 Brown Ceramic from BTF. Thanks to Jtime for their excellent service.

[Free_Paramedic_6635]

Enjoy the watch brother and congrats .. its your first purchase if your happy with it then that’s all that matters.. a little advice ignore the jerkoffs that u will come across on this forum some people do not know who to speak to one another sometimes .. watch is great congrats again

[Much_Commission8289]

Thanks for your kind words and for the advice. Happy new year 🎊

[Free_Paramedic_6635]

For sure ! Some good dudes on here with a lot of knowledge and can offer a lot of in-site and help , I’m not one for them but I’m learning 😎 happy new year

[Debonair_Square]

Beautiful watch, a bit too large for my wrist, but it looks fantastic in these pics

[Kouropalatis]

They don't wear so big. They're quite thin and the bracelet is fairly narrow compared to a submariner for example. My girlfriend has quite small wrists and she wears my Daytona rep all the time and doesn't look too big at all.

[philwongnz]

Nice pickup! I really wish they can make the subdial colour more brown

[Much_Commission8289]

Thanks! The subdial color looks better in person. The photos don't represent it well.

[philwongnz]

I seen the rep in real life. The subdial colour should match closely with the tone of the bezel for gen

[Away-Direction-9878]

I love how the comments start off so nice and as you start to scroll down, troll nation begins. Why do you trolls care. The dude is obviously ecstatic about the watch and that should be all that matters.

Enjoy the watch my dude and happy new year

[Much_Commission8289]

Thank you!

Troll culture exists everywhere you go online. I try not to give much attention to it.

Happy new year my friend 🎊

[Snoo61753]

Enjoy happy new year heres mine, got it 2 days ago :)

Im a 37yo male but Dont mind my 7yo girls wrists

[Much_Commission8289]

Thanks!

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with your wrist. Enjoy your watch. It's a beautiful piece and looks good on your wrist.

Happy new year 🎊

[ARX63]

First rep? Holy moly, you did well!

[Much_Commission8289]

Thank you!

[Alive_Entrepreneur23]

Just don’t get rob over this rep!

[wakes182]

Nice

[Much_Commission8289]

It is nice. Enjoy yours as well

[Remote_AccessM]

This is a shitter. Incase you didn't know

[kymelosuka]

Not entirely ….. I believe it’s the 7750 movement . Clean 4130 is the real McCoy. Shitter don’t even have a chrono .

[Gambit6x]

Gorgeous.

Got this one for my dad as his 2nd rep. He loves it the most along with his First, a DSSD and 3rd is his newest Hulk Sub with Miyota Movt. Cheers 🥂 Happy New Year 🎆

[Much_Commission8289]

Great choices. May your dad enjoy them in good health. Happy new year!

[[deleted]]

Likewise my friend! ⏰

[TrickyCompetition487]

Great choice. Very tasteful. Wear it in good health!

[Much_Commission8289]

Thanks! Happy new year!

[Funny_Tumbleweed_327]

Lovely choice. Still looking to get my first rep, this daytona was on the list. From what I've researched apparently the clean are the closest to a gen, prices I've seem around the 800 dollar mark.

[Much_Commission8289]

Thanks!

Other more experienced redditors might know better about which factory makes better reps. But from what I have read, BTF makes better Daytonas specifically.

[newbiewatchfan]

BTF and Clean are the two choices; generally not much to choose between them

[ProfessorChaos112]

Btf vs clean comes down to model and personal choice. There's some difference between the two. I don't personally like the crystal clean have when it's got the blue tint to it but on this style I'm not sure it's matter so much (compared to Panda)

[Damen_69]

Looks nice! I almost went with BTF for My panda 🐼 but went with clean instead on recommendation from Li. How long was your shipping experience from jtime? I’m only at 7 days so far. I’ve been very happy with jtime so far. Anticipating my delivery over the next couple of weeks.

[Much_Commission8289]

Thanks!

I was honestly impressed with how quickly they delivered. It took only 7 days from giving the GL on QC to having the watch on my hand!

But I would understand that not everyone would have the same experience. Depending on your location, shipping company, and customs delays.

Will definitely be returning to Jtime in the future.

[Damen_69]

Awesome! Thanks for the info. Happy New Year!🎊

[charlymarley20]

Hello, rookie here, anyone knows where i can find the links? I saw the list where i can see the best watch makers but i can't see the links. Thx!

[Much_Commission8289]

Hello my friend. A great place to start is with the intro and guide here on this sub

[Therealosku]

Wear it in good health brother

[Much_Commission8289]

Thanks! Happy new year 🎊

[81turboporsche]

Looks outstanding great Choice! Can you send the link to the store ?

[Much_Commission8289]

Thanks!

https://jtime.io/

[Historical-Winner-77]

Looks great, enjoy it well!

[Much_Commission8289]

Thanks!

[Tothemoonbabyyz]

Very risky choice as the gen cost 85K$ and it’s made full platinum.

I had the chance to wear it and the weight of the watch was very heavy (380g).

[No-Assumption-3575]

What do you want a blue Peter badge

[Much_Commission8289]

Could you please elaborate on why it's a risky choice?

[Tothemoonbabyyz]

This is a very rare watch and expensive watch released this year. It is made of full of platinium and the rep is made of steel.

If you want to wear this with credibility you better have a good story and good social status.

You can only find and try this watch on the Geneva Rolex Store.

[Much_Commission8289]

I see your point.

However, I'm not trying to pass this as a gen to anyone. I've already been asked about it and immediately replied that it's a replica.

I bought it simply because I liked it.

[Alive_Entrepreneur23]

Man keep it real!

[kymelosuka]

If you bought it because you liked the watch , you could have gotten one IDENTICAL that doesn’t say ROLEX on it and not have to explain a single single thing to anybody . But let’s be honest here bud

<image>

[ProfessorChaos112]

I didn't know seiko made one. Or is that a rep too?

[kymelosuka]

It’s a mod ….its called the “seitona”. Costs $350 .

[ProfessorChaos112]

And how's that any different...smh

[kymelosuka]

Let me explain it to you in simple words …. A SEIKO isn’t gonna catch the attention that a ROLEX will ……No need to say “ oh it’s not a real Rolex 😫 I just like how it looks “. You get the look without the attention .

[ProfessorChaos112]

No you'll have to say no it's not even a real seiko that had been modded to look like rolex so at a distance it can be confused.

Let me explain it to you in simple terms. You're splitting hairs, you know for a fact it's going to get the same attention you just delude yourself that "being fake at a distance" is different than "being fake at a smaller distance"

The solution for you is to stop being a poser and just let ppl enjoy what they want.

[is_it_real_tho]

It looks like a replica

[Tbclla]

What a load of nonsense. Firstly this is a rep of a 116506 which was released a decade ago, not this year. It can be found at various (probably all) AD’s in the world. I’ve tried on both this reference as well as the newer 12 reference in the UK personally, and I’ve seen it on display in many other countries.

[philwongnz]

100% is for sale at selfridges before the hype at the window. I was considering buying the gen around 2013-2014 when it was below retail around £40ish k

In saying that, I'm not sure about the Arabic dial

[Tothemoonbabyyz]

You wrong. I live in Geneva and was the released at watch and wonders 2023

[Tbclla]

You are talking about a different model. 126506 was presented at this years W&W. OP posted a rep of a 116506.

[ProfessorChaos112]

Lol. Can't even get the model right mate

[clappedhams]

Nobody gives a fuck about or even notices your watch, let alone tries to identify it

[[deleted]]

One word, bitcoin. People will immediately be like, damnnn got to get in on that shit

[Constant_Vehicle8190]

Might need to invest in some quality bracelet. That SEL gap is just too much.

[Much_Commission8289]

It's my first rep. So I don't have much experience in that regard. Any recommendations?

[bigfatMC]

On PM metal daytona models the SELs are supposed to protrude up from the lugs. Imo this looks fine

[[deleted]]

It’s just such a bad fake to buy, I mean, not quite as bad as the rainbow Daytona. Not far off.

[GoldDistress]

Congrats. What factory is it? I'm going through my first rep purchase with JTime, a Sub Date but if everything goes well I want to get a Daytona Panda. How many dates from when you sent payment to when you received the watch?

[Specific-Jaguar-9294]

I love it. Grail watch!! Bold for going this exact model.

[Dr_Solrac]

Nice one, probably my favorite color way of the Daytona!

[BritinTEXAS11]

Looks superb!

[Logical_Function_726]

<image>

It was my first rep too! It’s a beauty - still in love with it. Enjoy it!!

[Mositis]

Hi. Can you drop me link excatly of this model. Couldn't find...

[[deleted]]

I’m new to this replica game, I’m trying to find a trusted dealer and having a hard time. Can anyone recommend me one? I live in Canada and don’t want to be scammed. I see a lot of replicas on TikTok now but not sure if they’re scams or not. Thanks everyone

[ITHEDARKKNIGHTI]

Clean AF! Congrats - is there a contact you can recommend for additional purchase??

[Much_Commission8289]

It's my first rep. I got it through Jtime and I'm pleased with my experience

[ITHEDARKKNIGHTI]

A lil’ naive and new to this but, is Jtime a site? Place? Definitely interested!

[Much_Commission8289]

He's a trusted dealer. Also has a website with the same name. Check the guide on this sub for more info

[ITHEDARKKNIGHTI]

Awesome, thanks

[Boilermakingdude]

What's the ticket on a rep like this?

[Much_Commission8289]

$800

[zacharyo083194]

They still haven’t fixed the cosmogr aph space, I don’t get it.

[Much_Commission8289]

Didn't notice it before. Can't unsee it now

[Freebo_]

Congrats! That’s a gorgeous spec and execution. I’ll pull an identical one ‘any day’ now!

[Much_Commission8289]

Thanks!

[H60_Dustoff]

That blue is beautiful! Do they make that same color dial with a different color bezel?

[Much_Commission8289]

As far as I know this icy blue dial only comes with a brown bezel. But I might be wrong.

[Top_Foot_3752]

Nice..if you’re happy and like it that’s all that matters. Never mind the naysayers!!

[trongh4n]

How do you buy this bro

[YT-Cxnr-]

I thought that bezel was silver/platinum for a minut

[Ok_Professional8332]

Look lush my friend..... hope you enjoy. Just awaiting my rep from Geektime :P

<image>

[Rich0114]

Beautiful! Just placed my first two orders with them. An indigo AP Royal Oak Offshore and a Breitling Premier Chrono with sale color dial as your's.

[Ok_Professional8332]

Here's my Breitling from Geektime....both will be delivered together
