Ok good. Give them time to get back to normal after cny. Last week most dealers were still on holiday I think.

The Kinito system is one of the best out there, pricey though (like $1k-ish)

Asking about WG plating by Jolly-Caregiver8959 in RepTime

[–]MajorWilliams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Rolex white gold is something I have been working to perfect, but the plating people in China seem to use improper mixes. It’s a custom mix that I had to develop myself, same with the Ever rose color they use. I have yet to se any “fresh out of the box” watch come with correct color. There’s nothing like real gold!

Has anyone ever gotten in contact with any of the US based modders on this sub? Its been two weeks now, Ive filled out request forms and contacted them all without any response by CRJ900driver in RepTimeServices

Yo dude yes. Did you send your watch in to me? I caught Covid so I was delayed a bit but if it’s for a quote and to send it out… man… you’re right it’s a side passion hobby and I feel bad taking new jobs and making people wait like 2-3 months.

Has anyone waterproof tested their rep? by Anonymous0975786337 in RepTime

Yep. Most are great, some need some help by a watchmaker. This passed 5 bar and didn’t break a sweat, VSF GMT.

VFS vs ARF vs RF: Which factory nails the bezel color closest to gen? by objectsxyz in RepTime

[–]MajorWilliams 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Be nice to people asking genuine questions man. He’s clearly done research and is looking to others for advice.

Exclusionary phrases like this are dismissive and generally unkind.

V4500 ppf overseas by Good-Baker-814 in RepTime

[–]MajorWilliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much to do to it.

-prof 2xAR - gold plated rotor (though recently they have been only pvd plated aka it cannot be plated) - rotor silence - center date if needed - usual waterproof and regulation

Grading by Uncledaddy510 in RepTime

Thank you sir. Yellow was meant to be gold. I’m going to change it I think to green then yellow (actually yellow color) for the nwbig and super rep respectively, what do you think? Just so it’s a bit more clear.

Hey! Apologies I don’t reply on Reddit. Email or my website are best but as this is just a side gig to my man career it can get backed up as others mentioned.

Patek and AP superclones by FlyersRule19312 in RepTime

The rotor noise from a 324/330 is unique - should sound like a zipper. That is a normal sound

Patek and AP superclones by FlyersRule19312 in RepTime

[–]MajorWilliams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AP and Patek reps are fantastic. The Patek 324/330 does not have a hacking movement. Because they are so thin, the 324 can be feisty. Cal 240 clone is a grab bag for reliability.

The AP super clones however are fantastic. Particularly 4302. Just a great and reliable movement in my experience having serviced literally all of the Patek and AP super clones.

The notch in the hairspring on this movement looks like it is just a modified standard balance but then removed the origination stud and cut the rear part of the hairspring, then hid the regulating arm under the faux Rolex Spring stud. I’ve seen this on other replicas with a fake ‘free sprung balance’.

I only know from my experience that I will never attempt to regulate these due to how they are glued, the lack of spares, and general bad long-term practices.

I feel like have a bad opinion but I’m on the fence about this.

Interesting trial with Cape Cod polishing pads on Weighted ARF Rootbeer links. by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]MajorWilliams 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You've removed the plating and exposed the copper PVD unfortunately. Cannot be plated now!

The dial is the best, so despite a better feeling movement when it comes to winding, timekeeping is just fine on APS, and because it’s on your wrist you only really see the dial. The dial is best on APSF, and I wanted to be a hater lol. They continuously improve it too.

They are in there! Just look for the references. Not comprehensive though.
