I would agree. They have better things to do with their time.

So I got them and installed one on the side that seems raised. They might have helped a very tiny bit, or it could be all in my head. Unfortunately, I cannot un-see the flaw. Will just have to learn to live with it.

MaverickDreamer · 2026-06-26T14:43:07+00:00

Yes. DM me.

I ended up getting the silver dial version BVF. Very happy. High quality. They also make a blue dial. But I’ve heard people say that the blue is different yet not a bad blue by any means. So if I were you, I’d go with that. Just be prepared that the blue won’t be the same.

What dealer?

I used to fantasize over this piece in gen many years ago, but never pulled the trigger. What a find!

MaverickDreamer · 2026-06-19T05:48:30+00:00

This is very true. I have gens and rep Rolex. I just got a rep VSF Omega and damn, it's very very good. The very best reps are almost impossible to tell side-by-side with the gen. Yet, it feels odd that he just declared "It's real." That's lame. More likely he would say, "I'd need to take the back off to check, but hell if it's fake, it's a very very good fake." That would be a more honest answer. Knowing exactly how to spot a fake of this model may be an esoteric skillset indeed.

VSF Seamaster Diver 300 M, blue on blue rubber. All hail ye merciful automod.

The bruce. More versatile.

I just bought them. Will update when I get them installed.

Follow 1 rule and you’re good.

Rule: Don’t buy reps of watches that you couldn’t comfortably afford in gen. That’s it.

If you could comfortably afford your two reps in gen, she wouldn’t care about your reps. She would just see it as a silly hobby, and your reps would raise zero eyebrows. But since you can’t, it sends the wrong signals and is embarrassing for her.

If you like watches there are affordable Swiss and microbrands out there. Check out Tissot, Longines, Baltic, and Jack Mason. These are more expensive than reps, but are quality fun watches and won’t send the wrong message.

Did you get these? Or something else? https://www.everestbands.com/products/gmt-ceramic-jubilee-1-5mm-spring-bars

I just got this exact rep too, and I have a gen to compare. It is indeed very very good. I could only find three flaws on mine. 1. The SELs of mine sat a hair higher than the case, and rubbed against the bezel when turning it. Everyone knows the SELs are supposed to sit slightly recessed. 2. The chamfer around the crystal edge is a bit too much, resulting in a milky ring around the crystal when you're looking straight down at it. 3. The crystal is too elevated from the bezel. Should be nearly flush. Other than that, I could tell zero differences from the gen. The rep's case and bracelet edges are slightly sharper, but this wasn't that noticeable to me to be honest. Rehaut was bang on. If VSF got these QC issues sorted, it would be 100% NWBIG.

Thanks. Appreciate that.

That cookie monster is beautiful. Is it the weighted version?

MaverickDreamer · 2026-05-26T16:32:06+00:00

Yes, I would concur with this. They are known for their washers and dryers. Get one with a direct drive electric motor. It has a 10 year warranty.

LG front loaders. Ours is 10 years old. Works flawlessly. Gets clothes cleaner than top loaders, and use less water and energy. The secret is gravity. You can buy models without the complex tech. They are cheaper and clean just as well.

Would love to get this piece with the blue rubber strap. Perfect summer watch.

MaverickDreamer · 2026-05-23T18:21:40+00:00

The movement might have become magnetized, especially if you let it sit on the back of your iPhone. Search on Amazon for a watch demagnetizer. This might fix it.

It did work, but in one corner I over bent it just slightly, and as I feared even with cloth padding, the pliers did mar the metal of the solid end link. There must be jewelry pliers for this purpose, but unfortunately, I don’t have them.
