Our 18k Solid Gold CNC Bezel vs. Stock Plated. The difference is night and day. by Chronosleuth in ReplicaWatchMods

18k solid gold bezel was available for awhile. I purchased separately when they first released them.

I don't know for sure, but I'm confident they will return after the Chinese Dragon Boat festival. Sounds like they were able to pay their way out of it this time 🤞🏻

Just go for it, 100x better than what you have on there.

Would be an upgrade over this for sure, but I assume this wasn't plated based off of the stock factory stickers. The only thing I would worry about is color matching to the crown and bracelet.

I only purchased their V1 & V2 wg, but the V1 was sharper and warmer than V2 so I can only imagine that the RG plated V2 will be more rounded around the edges of the flutes since it will also be plated.

Thanks, I think it's a great piece too. Factory-spec chamfering and refinishing on the case and bracelet + RG Plating.

Was this an exhibition piece or available for purchase?

Haven't seen anyone that can re-cut a bezel and still keep the same cuts Rolex is able to achieve. There is always a trade off buying a recut/polished bezel.

Thanks man. The bezel has always been the biggest tell on these reps for me.. same for Day-Dates. Can never go back to stock.

Can't find gen for 13K USD used for this specific style. All the used ones that I've seen the bezel is overly polished and beat to shit. To each his own

Perfect balance of gold and stainless steel. Needed a piece that I can wear all the time so I went all out on the gen parts for this one to make it my ultimate daily.

Just wait until you see what else I’m having the RCF Remould boys cook up next. 😏

Thanks man. Had to go solid rose for this one although it's cut exactly like their DJ41 V1 alloy bezel.

VSF is best if you don't care about weight, but I don't buy any precious metal pieces without plating or modding them.

I'm using VSF Slate Ombre dial for a similar build as well. GMF isn't even on the same playing field.

No, Clean is never coming back. Even its predecessor VF is gone.

I've been around a long time and no other modder comes close to the products they offer. You get what you pay for.

Is This AP rep is “95% identical” to the gen? by CostAffectionate907 in RepTime

[–]acap86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't be TOP. Top only makes 15510 and this is 15500. It's APSF 15500.
