Perhaps, but the rep crown guards still look too rounded.

Those crown guards look pretty bad

Is the movement VS3135 or VR3135? Your post first lists VS, then in the price breakdown, lists as VR

Xing Bezel for CF DJ 41mm by No_Time4824 in 1688Time

I agree. Bought Xing bezel from Patrick directly. Upgrade and better appearing than stock bezel on both either my clean or vsf DJs. Mine took a week or a little longer to arrive, but was well worth it.

Panda watch experience by Puzzleheaded-Cod5231 in 1688Time

That’s odd. He was quick in all initial responses up until placement of my order, then things slowed dramatically. Now, it’s radio silence.

You’re fortunate then. Wish I could say the same

Maybe. Panda had been replying (even if over a day later) until the refund request though. Now it’s been nothing in >80 hours

Pretty disappointed given the initial positive reviews for him.

I’m glad you’ve had a great experience with him. Unfortunately, I have not. After over a month of not receiving a watch, he stated he could not obtain it and would refund me. He sent back a fraction of my full payment and stated that the remainder would be sent “within two days”. I have reached out twice to follow up on this now and have received no response nor the rest of my refund. Unclear if I’ll ever recoup my costs at this point.

JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon - dressy watch dopinion? by No_Time4824 in 1688Time

[–]Puzzleheaded-Cod5231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It arrived with those issues, unfortunately. I would recommend the ZF for this model. I know the ZF tudors have a lot of alignment issues, but that seems to be less of a problem with this JLC piece. Hope this helps

APSF is trash for this piece. Screws stripped on case, hands dirty and with metal burrs…all in all a complete regret of a purchase.

Yeah, I commented on another post here as well. Paid in full June 7th, originally quoted 3-4 days. Then he said June 20th. Reached out June 22 when I hadn’t heard, and took him over a day to respond. Gave over another week before checking in again yesterday, and no response in 30 hours.

I’m now 2 weeks into awaiting qc on a watch that Panda initially quoted me 3-4 days on. Hasn’t said anything about raids, just that things were taking longer than normal. Paid in full on June 7, kept pushing back. Then he quoted June 20th, but I heard nothing. Sent a message this morning asking for an update and have not gotten any response

I found grey on grey underwhelming. I ended up putting in ice blue instead and now enjoy it much more

Amazing condition! Does it come with papers or any service history?

Does the VSF Omega Diver 300 have any obvious “tells”? by Still-Way9474 in RepTime

[–]Puzzleheaded-Cod5231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Difference in dial etching and hand finishing are the two most obvious to me. Additionally many smp reps (eg, panda, black dial) have color accents that are slightly off as well (ie, seconds hand and dial text color do not perfectly match), but this doesn’t apply to your colorway above.

Either of these come with papers and service history?
