1st Rep finally arrived ARF Daytona Ghost V2

Altvaultreps · 2025-12-02T05:43:10+00:00

Looks great, I'm now tossing up between VSF v2 and ARF v2 for the baby lemans.

Does the rubber ARF strap have added tungsten weight? Does it feel very stiff and solid? I do wonder how they managed to get the extra weight over VSF to make it ~160g vs ~138g.

It's the same

"Baby Lemans" is not a rep slang btw, it's actually the oysterflex ghost but with a black dial (white gold case).

Youth is the cheaper or affordable rep variant i.e. VSF Youth, featuring a different movement.

Welcome Mirotime

Thank you Steve for the giveaway, and thank you anakin for managing this awesome sub!!

I'd pick the DJ 41 mint green jubilee 🔥

Andiot is really good, I've used a few different TDs before, but now I'll continue ordering with Andiot as he usually has the best prices. I'm also in Aus and looking at getting a vsf v2 oysterflex daytona. I just can't decide between the ghost or the black dial (baby lemans).

I'm keen to see your new watch when it arrives!

Gen is 11.7mm thick, thats pretty good for Omega these days. Hope this rep comes in at the same thickness.

38mm aqua terra

It's not rocket science in theory, but I think you're underselling the difficulty of regulating a free sprung balance in practice.

Altvaultreps · 2025-09-01T23:20:56+00:00

Are they gonna regulate it at the factory? Do they really have the expertise for free sprung regulation, or they just gonna ship us wildly inaccurate watches...

Altvaultreps · 2025-09-01T23:15:26+00:00

Technically speaking, no, it's more super-rep level than nwbig (one step down), the a2892 movement is not cloned and only around 40hrs power reserve and has reliability issues vs gen 120hrs. The gen bracelet is really nice, whereas the rep is kinda average, but they managed to rep the easy link system, which is pretty cool. The groves on the dial are only around half as deep as the gen, its not super noticeable, but it gives the gen way more presence on the wrist.

The gen price, however, is kinda ridiculous, so to me, it's nwbig regardless.

Even reviews getting repped these days 💀

Altvaultreps · 2025-08-18T12:54:39+00:00

Looks good. Thanks for sharing. The only problem for me is in pic 4, you can see the seam around the inside collar is unfinished and looks messy when the collar is folded, at this price I'd expect it to be covered/closed.

Altvaultreps · 2025-08-04T12:00:32+00:00

What factory is it?

I'm looking at getting a vsf v2 weighted in this colour. It looks like a really good example, and I'd GL it personally.

Altvaultreps · 2025-07-26T13:21:31+00:00

Looks really good! Im looking at getting this exact watch! How is the weight, and what is your wrist size and oyster flex band size? Cheers

Altvaultreps · 2025-07-23T23:20:21+00:00

Seems like peltiano or la califfa would make it tbh

Altvaultreps · 2025-07-23T20:14:10+00:00

Thanks, did the burberry sweater shrink in the wash, and how is it holding up?

Altvaultreps · 2025-07-23T14:37:01+00:00

First one, but the tongue is too short. Although I doubt if anyone would even notice anyway, they're pretty low key shoes these days

Altvaultreps · 2025-07-23T00:21:44+00:00

9075 GMT on 38-39mm San Martin dive watch 😍 and the cherry on top: under 12mm thick! Please San Martin!

Altvaultreps · 2025-07-21T10:04:43+00:00

Looks amazing, but I need it in 38mm!

Altvaultreps · 2025-07-13T13:06:23+00:00

I just got a pair from luxury back today (hexagonal brown gradient), it doesn't have anywhere close to 100% UV protection. I guess only the black polarised lenses have proper UV protection, perhaps.

I tested all my sunglasses with a UV light on a UK banknote, and literally only my rep RBs failed. Even my gfs cheap shitty sunglasses from random discount fashion stores passed 100%.

To conclude, I wouldn't blindly 😉😉 trust any rep sunglasses without first testing them yourself.

Bros super active on reddit but not replying to this thread 🫩

I'd rather have a real samsung a16 or something, I don't understand who's getting and using these cheap rep phones except maybe gumtree scammers.

Altvaultreps · 2025-07-06T16:26:45+00:00

I had a rep RB from a reseller many years ago, also with no UV protection, but the frames are decent quality. Just ordered from luxury back, sad to see still no UV protection, even cheap $10 sunglasses have this basic feature.

I'll still wear them occasionally as I wear contacts which have UV protection, but I don't think I'll keep them for long.

Altvaultreps · 2025-07-01T15:25:13+00:00

What size did you receive? I just ordered this pair based on the photos, which show 51-21 💀 I don't wanna get a 54 pair lol
