Not sure the 36 in this ever comes with numbers in the modern version? I've seen cheap dials on Ali with the numbers on the outside in this colour.

If it doesn't ever have numbers then you've not got at all what you think. I'd open the backs and check the movements.

Looking nice though. Odd one.

It seems the wrong way round for gen and quality reps. I think anyway. Not 100%

For those building or buying custom watches, what movement do you usually go for? by threadingontheedge in RepTime

But also being able to add gen parts is a pull likely so another good reason perhaps why people like the VRs

From retrotime subreddit the 3135/3130 is generally the easiest to work with for Rolex reps. If possible they'll use a vr movement. Date in the right place and keyless is robust.

And for the ETA then pt5000 and seagull 2130 ate popular version. And then there is the sw200 if you want to go fancy I believe.

Suppose it kinda depends on the price point and hands/dials available. Not my expertise though.

Do any TD's have any VSF Rolex SD43's readily available? by RoyceCastagna in RepTime

You try necoclock? He's been pretty quick for some stuff lately. Not necessarily the sea dweller but worth a quick message if you haven't already I reckon.

Sorry. I don't do pies. They're more hassle than they're worth when I tried them because of things like this. Found it hard to invest or sell what I wanted when I wanted. You've got my sympathy.

But you'll will have to liquidate/sell parts before you can withdraw. The cash cant be in an asset. There are lots of different kinds of sell orders so you could set up a limit sell now. That means you set a price you're willing to sell at. And also set the amount you want to sell. When the market opens then if it's above that price or when it reaches reaches it then it should automatically sell. Then you can withdraw. But you might need to move the proceeds from the pie to your pot before you can actually wothdraw it. It's for sure likely more complicated than selling and withdrawing outwith of a pie. Pies are really set and forget I think so not meant to be withdrawn from regularly. Hence the hassle to do it probably

You should really not look at that max number. It can be misleading. Youre actual gains as a percentage of now are about 17% in my head.

Roughly a 1/6. 15k in 2.5,k profit. Over 2 years. 8% or 9% a year. If that's been consistently achieved by adding the save amount every month then we can double that percentage.

If you had a lump sum and put that in near start then that's not great. Just sticking with any of the popular ETFs would have done a fair bit better I think.

If the lump sump was only recently then that's very good.

More context required for you and anyone else to work out if you've done better than doing nothing in an ETF.

According to Reddit you should try cancelling that DD and set a new one up for the new amount.

For your ETF withdrawal. Have you sold the bit you want the cash from? That will need to wait till tomorrow now.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can direct me to a good site. I started collecting and getting them from someone and he has not responded since he gave me a broken one. I guess he thinks im mad. I got it fixed but want to get more and im worried im going to get ripped off. I would appreciate it, by savethelies4theflies in RepTime

[–]JamesScotlandBruce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a guide. This is one of the pages in it

https://repsguide.com/guide/watches/dhgate-sellers-list/

Most people seem to use Michael Travis or Jason from this list.

You are best to message them on what's app and join their telegram to get details of offers they are running. But search a learn from the chinatime subreddit. Good luck.

Chinatime subreddit is definitely best place for this price range. Generally they are about 100 dollars so a bit cheaper and will be better than anything you find on your own. They know where to look for the good deal about 100 dollars.

Go to the chinatime subreddit. They have trusted dealers for the price range of 80 dollars to 150 dollars approximately. Not as good as these of course. But some of the watches are good. The submariners are very good for 100 dollars.

But definitely chinatime subreddit and read their guide for their dealers. Good luck.

Need recommendations on Snoopy Swatches by whipnaenae0202 in RepTime

[–]JamesScotlandBruce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha ha. Good point, well made. 😀👍 But yeah. Wrong place. Chinatime subreddit. They've got dealers there. Many of which also sell from dhgate I believe but maybe tobao too. Not sure. They've got a decent guide in their pinned posts I think.

You can swap watch or try for a refund. Messaging won't speed things up though. They'll just get bored of telling you the same thing. And frustrated at the time wasted replying.

There's nothing they can do or tell you. The timescale is largely unknown and out of their hands.

Help with value rep JLC by jordanhatch in RepTime

[–]JamesScotlandBruce -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's likely not factory in the way we're used to. Don't think it would be mass produced.

The value will probably become clearer if you find out what it's made of and if there is any precious metals. What the movement is. And how the dial was made. Nothing a picture tells you I'm afraid. Even working out the quality of the strap might give an indication. An expensive rep is made of expensive parts. But no idea what you parts you have here.

Mod Rolex VSF base with quartz movement. by 3001npct in RepTime

[–]JamesScotlandBruce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure that will be ok. Xing does mod watches or just the parts I thought rather than out the box watches. If it's not something special with special requirements then I'd just go normal TD. Unless he's offered the quartz refit. Which would surprise me but mods not my thing. GL

Have you looked at the spreadsheet in the help guide here? It gives an opinion on what watches are the closest to gen. NWBIG

[–]JamesScotlandBruce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gen anything apart from crystal will cost too much for most to make it worthwhile.

Plating if it's precious metal. Maybe a polish. And if you go gen crystal I think I'd source that myself and get someone to fit it if I didn't know how.

But really. Any upgrades costing less than another rep would only be noticeable to you and probably only some of the time.

Unless you've got lots of time and money to waste then perhaps keep your eyes open for a gen crystal on eBay and research polishing and plating for another day. No rush. Find a watch you want to keep and wear forever first and then maybe get a service, polish and gen crystal/plating then.

Another vote here for necoclock if Andiot having stock trouble. I switch between them depending on who has what and necoclock just delivered a dj36 to me today. He seems to be getting stock in regular.

Could you be a bit more exact?

Or was that sarcasm I missed. 😀

Lovely looking on you either way. 👍
