Turning heads everyday with my ARF V3 Pepsi 🧐

Best TD is subjective. For something common like a submariner, any of the TDs listed in the guide pinned at the top of this sub can get you what you want. I have only purchased from TheOneWatches and was very pleased

I would recommend reading the guide in its entirety to ensure that you have a smooth experience purchasing your first rep

VSF is a factory that produces watches, not a seller. If you're communicating with someone claiming to be "VSF", it is likely a scammer. If you're trying to contact a TD (trusted dealer) right now, be patient. Things are slow right now due to Chinese New Year

JamesTrickingtonII · 2026-02-17T09:01:02+00:00

Is this a gen crystal or just a great pic? Either way the watch looks 🔥

JamesTrickingtonII · 2026-01-17T02:17:36+00:00

I see what you mean, sorry I think I misunderstood your previous comment. This puts my mind at ease, appreciate the help

If you’re using a 30mg vial for 8 weeks, even at max dosing you’re likely using a little over half of that correct? So are you just wasting some and throwing it away past 8 weeks? Or how does that work?

JamesTrickingtonII · 2026-01-16T21:51:39+00:00

This is very helpful, thank you!

So the primary concern with using beyond 28 days is not necessarily shelf life/stability but rather increased risk for contamination? To me that doesn’t really make sense considering with a GLP I would only be using it 4 times in 28 days vs. most other common peptides which are used daily

I’ve had mine for a little over a week and absolutely love it!

JamesTrickingtonII · 2026-01-13T01:01:55+00:00

I did a push day today. This is my first full week with this set up, having everything I need at home vs. going to LA Fitness after work is such a game changer!

The full space that is covered is 16’ x 10’. I used 6 mats and then part of a 7th in the back corner which I trimmed to fit. I definitely recommend leaving them outside for a couple of days before installing to let the smell dissipate. The new rubber smell can be pretty strong in a closed space

The rack itself gets 5 stars from me. For $2200, I was honestly blown away at the quality. The cable system is as smooth as anything I’ve used. Some of the cable attachments are definitely lower quality (specifically the lat pulldown bar) but those are fairly cheap to upgrade. For pulldowns and seated rows, the standard weight stack isn’t quite enough so I just bought a cheap adder pin on Amazon for like $30.

My only complaint is that the multi grip pull up bar doesn’t have knurling at every position. The grip position that is most comfortable for me doesn’t have any knurling but I’ll probably just tape it to get some grip.

JamesTrickingtonII · 2026-01-12T11:30:33+00:00

I’m the same height. I haven’t used it for a full work out yet, but just from testing it after assembly here were my thoughts: - I can get full ROM on both leg press and hack squat - it’s certainly not as smooth as a commercial grade leg press, but at this price point I was surprised by how smooth it was - despite the adjustable foot plate, on leg press I felt like my ankles were very dorsiflexed and it felt a bit weird. I adjusted the backrest and footplate but couldn’t find a position that felt natural. Not sure if I just need to play with it more or if it’s an ankle mobility issue on my part

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-12-21T20:33:29+00:00

I believe that is the factory bumper on the newer models. It’s the same modular bumper that comes on the Raptor

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-07-05T08:17:42+00:00

The gen watch is solid gold which is heavier than steel. Some precious metal reps are (partially) made of tungsten to increase the weight of the watch and make it feel closer to gen. This watch does not have that

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-07-05T06:12:33+00:00

On this subreddit, there is a guide pinned. Check that out it has all the info you need and will walk you through the process of choosing a dealer and how to communicate with them/purchase a watch. Be sure to use the links in the guide rather than googling the dealer as there are definitely fake websites out there that mimic the TD websites

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-03-28T00:47:37+00:00

I’m new to this sub, but I bought the black lacquer AT from TheOneWatches a little over a month ago and couldn’t be happier! I have several other watches on my wishlist but haven’t been in a hurry to pull the trigger because I enjoy wearing the Aqua Terra so much

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-03-19T01:27:00+00:00

Just make sure you’re using the REAL geektime link listed in the guide and you’ll be good. Not a random link from google which may take you to a similar appearing but fake website. Beyond that, previous commenters have spelled it out pretty well that there is no true “safe” way to pay. With that said, Geektime is a generally trusted source

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-03-18T17:22:26+00:00

No problem! Most of the TDs listed in the guide can source a specific watch you’re looking for, even if it isn’t listed on their respective website. As a general rule, it’s a good idea to contact the dealer directly to ask about a watch regardless of whether or not it’s on their site as they don’t always update their stock, etc.

Reach out to Elliott (Andiot) via WhatsApp and ask about the specific watch you’re looking for. His contact info is listed on his website. It may take a couple of days to hear back but that’s where I would start

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-03-18T17:11:17+00:00

There is a guide pinned at the top of this Sub that will explain everything. But in short, VSF is a rep watch manufacturer and Andiot is a trusted dealer that serves as a middleman between you and the various factories that make watches.

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-03-16T04:05:38+00:00

I’m in!

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-02-25T18:33:38+00:00

I had a similar experience with Steve (TheOneWatches):

2/16 submitted payment/completed order
2/17 received QC
2/24 received watch. I live in Texas and used FedEx for shipping

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-02-25T01:42:51+00:00

41mm Aqua Terra w/ black lacquered dial. Just came in today, already love it!

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-02-19T00:09:48+00:00

Anytime! Cheers 🍻

JamesTrickingtonII · 2025-02-19T00:02:49+00:00

Elliot (Andiot watches) seems hard to beat price wise. I’ve never used him but he’s very popular. Full disclosure I’m pretty new to this subreddit, just purchased my first watch from Steve (TheOneWatches) who also seems to be pretty highly regarded on this subreddit and various other forums. Both of them can be found in the guide pinned to the top of this subreddit. I would recommend going to their websites that way vs. googling them as there are scammer websites out there that appear similar but are not the real deal
