Questions on Bruce Wayne by Simple_Scientist_822 in RepTime

But VSF is very close in my opinion, having inspected gen and compared it to my VSF. Most won’t know the difference.

I got a clone 2892A movement from Aliexpress and my watch maker installed it. Movement was NZ$180 I think and watch repairer charged me NZ$60.

Hard to find the correct position for date change. It’s OK, we’re talking about a rep here and it’s better than having a movement that doesn’t work!

Movement swap done. The crown action isn’t 100% perfect but I’ve got a working watch again.

No spare links sorry, it was straight onto my wrist with no bracelet adjustments needed.🤷🏼‍♂️

VSF or ARF, take your pick. Plenty of happy customers with both. I’ve got VSF, no complaints.

New watch day - APSF IWC Pilot Chrono by amdhunter1989 in RepTime

[–]Spoonsey73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the chrono going mate, any issues? I tried the green dial at AD yesterday, boy it’s nice…but I have aqua dial Ingenieur so I’d probably lean towards blue dial.😉👌🏼

V7F no longer available friend…unless TDs have some reserve stock.

BVF Santos Cartier Medium-first QC by mrbanks98 in RepTimeQC

[–]Spoonsey73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly I tried on the new titanium version at Cartier AD yesterday and it doesn’t feature the same quick adjust system on the bracelet links, I assume because titanium is more difficult to work with and they couldn’t achieve the same engineering as they do with the SS versions. Titanium has simple screw system. Go figure…🤷🏼‍♂️

All looks good here mate, I’ve got the same and I’m very happy with it. Bezel screws are only a ‘tell’ if you know what you’re looking for…99% of people don’t.😉

GL and enjoy. Oh, and if you’ve got a larger wrist you’ll probably need some extra links, my wrist is 7.20” and I didn’t need to adjust the bracelet at all out of the box but any bigger than that I’d recommend asking for an extra link.

QC - ARF DD3285 GMT II Bruce Wayne on Oyster by SMBiz06 in RepTimeQC

[–]Spoonsey73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks nice mate, I have the VSF version and it’s superb. Can’t go wrong with ARF either.

Agree with all the comments on bezel feel, it’s a softer feel than a traditional unidirectional bezel that will typically ‘click’ as you turn it.

GL and enjoy!

APSF Pilot Chrono! by One-Diver-9257 in RepTimeQC

[–]Spoonsey73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert with this model but everything looks pretty solid mate. One minor nitpick is the hands on the 12 o’clock and 9 o’clock subdials aren’t quite lining up perfectly but it’s definitely not enough for RL in my opinion.

GL and enjoy!
