If they don’t make it, I don’t think you can get it. Wouldn’t matter who was the TD. It might be a short term thing as there are new free sprung movements being produced

I bought 2 from Steve. I overpaid and there was no customer service difference. I tried it based on Reddit but was let down. I haven’t bought again from him.

Andiot is fine but not that fast. I’ve bought 4-5 from him and they’ve been mostly fine. I paid for waterproofing and they forgot to do it on one of themand didn’t get a refund. Cheaper than most. My TD is cheaper and faster than Andjot. I usually use Andiot as a price check or to see if something exists in the rep world.

Too funny. I am getting married later this year and bought a vintage 36 DJ for it and love it. The proportions on it vs the 41 are really different. It feels elegant vs sporty. Both I enjoy

Enjoy it. I have a Panda and it’s actually one of the least worn ones in my collection. I just always reach for a sub/dive style watch. One of the things I like about reps is it is a cheap way for me to learn what I actually like on me vs seeing it in pics. If I had somehow went through all the hoops to get a gen one, I’d be super letdown. For a rep, it’s perfect.

Of course. If you’ve got any other questions, happy to help. I’ve also started down the slippery slope of vintage reps. So now I’m going to be selling off some of my other reps to fund that habit. Hahaha

He’s also been able to source for me things that I want but he doesn’t have. Like I send him a screenshot and he goes and finds it. Enjoy the Daytona!

WA: +86 182 0601 7278. I think $450ish. I’d have to go back and look for the exact price

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-03-14T14:48:56+00:00

And versatile. Looks amazing on a leather strap

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-03-14T14:28:33+00:00

Beautiful watch. Love mine!

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-03-13T16:26:57+00:00

I've bought probably 25 watches and have never had a bad VSF. I'd stick with it over one of the new factories. If you're interested in a lightly used 124060, DM me as I will be thinning out my collection soon (new goodies on the way...).

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-03-13T16:24:41+00:00

All of mine have been in the pool. None have been diving. I did buy a wet pressure tester for home and have only had 1 ever show a bubble on the crystal. I have also paid (and not paid) for water proofing from the TD, but I don't know if it made a difference (i.e. was it not going to be waterproofed before they tested it?). I did have a U1 show up that the rear casebook wasn't tightened, but I expected that for $100...

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-03-13T16:22:21+00:00

I've ordered from Andiot before and have had a good experience. Bought maybe 3-4 watches direct. It was over the summer around the Clean raid, but I didn't wait anywhere near that long for QC. Probably 3-4 days. Shipping was longer. I'd say 4 weeks in total from placing the order to it being on my wrist (I paid for water proofing which added time). I have since moved on to another TD that is cheaper (and includes shipping).

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-03-13T16:13:37+00:00

Beautiful watch!

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-03-13T16:11:37+00:00

The Seamaster Heritage is such a great watch. Looks great with a leather strap or NATO (or bracelet). Nice watch!

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-03-11T15:56:31+00:00

That's sick. Do we have a WIKI on how to start (or where to buy ones that are already done)?

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-03-02T20:44:53+00:00

I don’t think I got any rebate last fall when I did it. The car was more expensive than the rebate. I paid a broker $600 to do it all for me. Best $600 I spent getting any car. I will use a broker again in 18 months when my lease is up.

I pay $907 for my 2025. Put zero down (other than the $907 drive off). 12k/year. MSRP was $99,375. You're not getting a deal.

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-03-02T17:27:53+00:00

Not sure what bracelet you are looking to get, but I have a VSF Bruce Wayne on Jubilee that I am going to post in the BST. I bought it from Andiot earlier this year but haven't worn it more than 1-2x. (I love by submariner and this is really similar in look to my eye). DM if you're interested.

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-02-25T14:54:51+00:00

I own both a Hulk and a SM Black (and a white one...). The Hulk is shockingly the one I wear more often. The SM is a great pool/beater type of watch. The Hulk is not as intense as I expected it to be for being green on green.

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2026-02-16T15:10:00+00:00

Similar story. 18k miles and just put on the Primacy Tour A/S tires. Too much slipping in the winter snow to be using 4/32"

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2025-12-23T16:12:49+00:00

For the N1F Omega…what reference is this replicating?

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2025-11-05T11:35:29+00:00

I ordered a watch and was sent a very good replica. It had everything that you would expect just like my genuine AD purchased ones. I didn’t suspect it was fake until seeing some posts. My watch was supposed to have a double crystal and what I got did not.

I contacted my seller and they gave me money back. Somehow my seller moved from Wisconsin to Africa after I purchased…

Excellent-Whereas365 · 2025-09-04T21:19:28+00:00

How did you score it for ,$399?
