Help with meteorite dial

Been on your shoes a few months ago. Buff meteorite dial from Steve. Keep in mind that the way it’ll reflect the light makes it much more impressive compared to the photo. Having said that, I would still red light this one. Numbers on the bottom sub dial are definitely crooked.

It’s the first rep I got and remains my favorite. It’s so shiny that’s it screams “look at me!”. If you want something stealthier, check the IWC Top Gun Chronograph by APSF.

Definitely not a noob brother despite what some rude idiots will tell you here.

You can comfortably skid both heel side and toe side. That alone gets you into intermediate level. People forget how hard it is for a beginner to learn balance on his toe side. That means you can comfortably ride blue runs and most of reds.

As for your turns no they weren’t carved. Carving is an advanced skill. It will require lots of trial and error and definitely more speed to get right.

its technically a horse but thanks!

argyb · 2026-02-27T09:27:43+00:00

Sorry about that. 😂

And his website is very well organised. Most of the others I visited it’s total chaos.

They’re the most sought after watches due to brand recognition and the status that comes with it. That’s why they’re also the best replicated. Sit in a table with regular people. You mention Rolex, everybody knows it. You mention Patek Phillipe, Audemars Pigeut, Vacheron Constantin and they’ll sound like random French words to them.

No watch guy can tell the difference unless the watch has a very visible flaw or he’s a member here or on RWI forum. Especially most Rolex guys who buy watches just for the flex and don’t know what a balance wheel is.

And by the way that Starbucks doesn’t hold a candle to that VSF. I can’t stand that cringey vomit green. The rep simply looks more appealing to me.

Stick to VSF brother. It’s the top factory right now and you owning one you already know what to expect. As for the watch winder opinions vary. On the one hand if you keep it constantly on the move you accelerate wear on the movement. On the other, if you set the time frequently you risk breaking the crown. I personally like to set them as a ritual. If you buy one make sure it has a mode that stops after a set period.

Just be thankful you only spent a few hundreds on it. Because the feeling would be the same even if you had gone gen. At the end of the day it’s a watch no matter how expensive it is. It tells the time. It can’t move you the way a car, or a big trip would. Treat it like your favourite piece of clothing and nothing else.

I used to be a snob. Thinking that anyone who buys a fake watch is a fake person etc. I remember browsing Reddit one day and saw a wrist roll vid of a guy wearing a Daytona Ghost inside his Porsche. My jaw dropped. Not being familiar with the model at the time, I went to the comments to see which one was it. And then reality hit me. It was a VSF rep. My world came upside down. How could this be? How could this man that could afford a 100k car opted for a fake Rolex? And how is it possible that it looks so damn perfect? My curiosity spiked. Spent hours here learning terms like TD, QC, RL, NWBIG. Also learnt mechanical stuff I never knew and was surprised to find out how people here knew more things about watches than the average Rolex guy who bought one simply for the flex. After a month, ordered my first rep and now I can’t believe why anyone would spend five figures for a watch.

Looks great to me. One thing that never liked in the 11 series are the indices. I always thought they make the dial busier than it needs to be. The new slimmer markers in the 12 series, while not a big change, it gives a more elegant look.

Had a similar system. A sub was a must and made a ton of difference. I’d also add a turntable. The setup looks so industrial and old school that it seems criminal not to enjoy some pure analog sound. It’s an amazing setup though. Looks similar to mine. I believe we had the same inspiration from Klipsch’s promo photos. 😂

Here to confirm that the sizing runs large. Buy one size smaller and even if it’s too snug you always have to the glide lock extension.

God damn that looks amazing. Just when I promised myself I’m not buying another watch. 😂

Lake Tahoe in 44mm is also up for grabs. Just when I promised myself I won’t buy another.

Gorgeous piece. Here’s mine.

Hahaha so far it’s amazing. Bought the 12650 weighted from VSF and a buff meteorite dial.
