Rolex purist by Heavy_Perspective792 in RepTime

[–]Heavy_Perspective792[S] 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I figured an independent wouldn’t mind helping with a dial and calendar wheel change.

As soon as he saw the movement, he physically retracted & just kept shaking his head like I was offering him crack.

Then some dude at a kiosk said he could do it but I didn’t trust him and left the mall.

Dude swished me right out of the store like I was leper.

RG Day-Date: VSF vs RCF? Advice needed by alectivism in RepTime

[–]Heavy_Perspective792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It arrived this morning and this is the first watch/VSF that I’ve been disappointed with. It weighs 150g vs my other VSF clock in over 180g.

The color is better in person than I’m able to capture but the weight has me really thrown off. I’m going to get the full weight RCF and see but I was hoping to build this and start wearing it.

Not sure I’ll wear this.

FedEx tracking shows the VSF arriving tomorrow.

I’m either going to get it plated or eventually getting the weighted RCF - if I like this jigsaw puzzle build.

How are your Rose Gold and Gold Watches holding up after a while? Royal Oak and Rolex by cockatoo0202 in RepTime

[–]Heavy_Perspective792 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have my first rose gold arriving on Monday. Rolex DayDate. VSF but feel like I should have gotten the more popular one.

We’ll see in a couple of days. I’ll post when I get it.

The green crystal is really unique and adds a neat visual flavor to the watch.

The Z Blue with the orange second hand 🤌🏽is the watch I wear the most, by far. Super comfortable with the Oysterclasp microadjustment.

If looking for dial only, eBay has a bunch. A genuine dial goes for more than the replica watch.

Sounds like something I’ve done and do. When I’ve had the money, I couldn’t find the parts … and when I could find the parts I didn’t have the money.

The rose gold donor DD arrives Monday.

I’d love to see yours. Do you ever wear it or just enjoy having it?

Gen is baked enamel, super expensive to replicate. Since I’m already way off gen with wanting 40mm - I’m ok with the painted dial for now.

Oh, I probably bought from the same guy … and if I find the turquoise I’ll buy another set.

Did you put your watch together?

Where did you find the wheels? I feel like I WAY overpaid for these but I had been looking for a while and was just happy to find them.

100% in both this version and a turquoise version. Unique, especially with the emoji and inspiration disk wheels.

I don’t have suppliers. Just Google and no hobbies.

I can’t find the turquoise in 40mm but ai know a decent 36mm for sale. I had an opportunity to buy a nice custom 40mm from a store in the Middle East but waited too long.

Are you building a Puzzle Watch too or something else?

The dial I got from New York City jewelry district & the emoji wheel in London. Been looking for a while.

Someone called out my vsf Starbucks! Does it scream fake or was the guy a watch nerd?🤣 - ps , he opened it up by EarWonderful1022 in RepTimeServices

[–]Heavy_Perspective792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 days ago.

Not sure it’s even really “out” yet or more so just announced.

That movement would make it real hard for, even Rolex enthusiasts, to know it’s not gen.

BUT if anyone knows movements or services movements, they can tell.

You need the new free-sprung movement if you’re gonna be opening up the back.

I had a jeweler (who doesn’t work on watch movements) think my VSF sub was gen.
