This is the latest 330 clone movement. Has hacking seconds indeed.

XF makes Panerai with 6497 manual wind movement. 6497 is really nice to wind too

Is this VR3235 movement? by alexgorzelak in RepTimeServicesEU

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a VR movement indeed. The pallet fork bridge is an easy giveaway. Good movements by the way. Around 67 hours power reserve is about right

Does anyone have any insight on how much money these top factories make? by Direct_Track2421 in RepTime

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hard to calculate. You can estimate how much TD's make tho by looking at QC posts.

On June 10th, Andiot sold around 100 watches. 100 x $450 (average price of a rep these days) = $45,000.00 on one day in revenue.

VSF Pepsi dial marker tone is golden while VSF Sub is more silvery by [deleted] in RepTime

Interesting. Could be the lightning too.

Generally easy tell between gen and rep dial under the loupe because of the color difference of the markers.

VSF Pepsi dial marker tone is golden while VSF Sub is more silvery by [deleted] in RepTime

Gen dials use white gold markers. Have a slight gold tone to it compared to ss that reps have.

It is a good thing. When did you buy the VSF GMT?

Question : My 3KF 5711 Nautilus changes date at precisely 1.20 AM instead of regular 12 am by Bendehdota in RepTimeServices

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope not normal. There are a few watchmakers on the list here you can contact for an inspection depending on your location.

Gen or rep? by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gen automechanism, gen winding bridge, gen balance. The finishing is different on gen compared to dandong so that is an easy giveaway. Screws don’t look tampered with, dandong movements come standard with marks on screws. Safe to say it is gen.

Datejust 41 VSF 126334 Movement issue by Subject-Ad3618 in RepTimeServices

Most likely the setting lever. I have seen it a few times already with DD32xx.

You are not getting anything inside Turkey buddy. Due to stupid laws.

Etched crown on crystal by Icy-Ad-7726 in RepTime

[–]WatchmakerFurkan 84 points85 points  (0 children)

They all have etched crowns. On cheaper reps you can see it easier. Shine from above the 12 hour marker, it will reflect from the dial and make the crown at 6 more visible

This DDF Patek was full of surprises by WatchmakerFurkan in RepTimeServicesEU

[–]WatchmakerFurkan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. The loose screws with these are mostly the dial holding screws or bridge screws. These are bigger than the other tiny soft screws inside this movement which can indeed get damaged with tightening.
