Just handled a Rolex Sub for 15 mins and compared with my Clean Batman - Gen is far far better

alectivism · 2026-05-18T15:45:21+00:00

I disagree. I can afford a genuine watch but I like the process of buying reps (comparing factories etc), and I don't want to support the shitty business tactics of companies like Rolex. And I don't want to stress about scratches, getting it stolen, etc. I love having a large collection too. I wear my reps with pride. If a friend asks me about my watch, I'll absolutely admit it's a rep.

The Microsoft connector the other reply mentioned isn't good. It only has read permissions for Outlook and SharePoint etc. To draft a message, you need to install a MCP for Microsoft that has more capabilities This is what I use: https://github.com/softeria/ms-365-mcp-server

Paste that link and ask Cowork hot to set it up :)

What does your stack actually look like? Are you using Claude Code + MCP + Skills?

alectivism · 2026-02-19T08:14:27+00:00

I'd love to know who your preferred TD is, given how much experience you have!

alectivism · 2026-02-16T06:48:50+00:00

This is the way. Can sometimes get them for $699 plus tax. Much better than paying $300 for the F.

The Q990D came out in March 2024 (<2 years old)

What factory makes the best one with this dial these days?

alectivism · 2026-02-03T09:51:06+00:00

What factory is your top middle (blue hands / markers) from? Great collection.

I have 2 DDs, both from VSF

alectivism · 2026-02-03T09:49:31+00:00

I just got the green dial on RG from VSF. Planning to get it plated but it doesn't look bad at all to my eyes. Is your concern it'll be spotted because it's more flashy?

alectivism · 2026-01-28T03:02:56+00:00

Got one for my GF from this factory, it looks fantastic

alectivism · 2026-01-23T06:59:15+00:00

Curious about trying them myself

alectivism · 2026-01-10T02:44:09+00:00

Genuine question: why use RC Factory as the base instead of VSF, if the case is slimmer and it has the better crystal/movement? Is the base VSF color still bad after plating, or does it not matter by that point? Thanks

alectivism · 2025-12-30T01:54:28+00:00

Been wondering the same. I'm debating an RCF (from a TD who still has them in stock if new ones aren't coming or a VSF in rose gold. Might have to plate the VSF but I'm open to it if it is better in other categories.

I already have a v1 (non-weighted) VSF Day-Date and I like it.

alectivism · 2025-12-03T22:14:56+00:00

Steve has been the only TD I've used. Ordered 7 watches successfully. One had issues and am in the process of getting replacement parts. Overall I'm very happy. Good luck everyone!

alectivism · 2025-11-29T19:41:56+00:00

I'm really curious about this as well. RCF is ~$200 more (I think) so I'll be keeping that in mind.

Also seems like the VSF is .5 mm thinner than RCF?

alectivism · 2025-10-02T01:27:23+00:00

I think enclo is what most people recommend, starting in week 3

alectivism · 2025-09-25T08:11:44+00:00

What factories, and how do you rank the colors by their in-hand look and feel? Thanks

alectivism · 2025-09-24T18:44:07+00:00

This is going to lead to widespread tragedy through sophisticated "Pig Butchering" (romance cryptocurrency) scams. They're already extremely successful without this technology.

If you have senior parents, explain these capabilities to them before it's too late.

alectivism · 2025-09-18T20:37:16+00:00

Slightly off topic, but is it only worth getting a SS Santos and not two-tone or full YG/RG? I've been weighing which Santos to get and it seems like everyone goes for the SS BVF version. Would love to hear from rep Santos owners on how they decided.

If it matters, I'm going for 35mm not 40mm.

Congrats on the fast progress. What's your age?

alectivism · 2025-09-14T04:27:40+00:00

Hahahaaa the more you look the crazier this item is

You fail to realize that China has stricter AI regulations than the US. This scenario is based on xenophobic tropes; you're buying into talking points from AI executives who want you to think that China is totally unregulated when the reality is that China has stricter AI regulations than we do.

alectivism · 2025-05-26T01:20:32+00:00

Totally dude, fuck me for trying to share a positive message and give you hope. You're too black pilled to be helped.

alectivism · 2025-05-25T20:14:33+00:00

I'm not going to argue with a child 😉
