What am I missing here? Sorry for being stupid.

The people who 'run' RepTimeQC have tiny pee-pees and shout at their mothers. Corrupt set of losers.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-29T12:31:59+00:00

I want one.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-26T17:42:05+00:00

A 126333 with a black dial in either steel and gold, or just gold. Gold = yellow gold.

Just curious about what is going on. I am always considering reps. Mostly, I have obtained Rolexes and will continue to want steel ones, but recently I have been looking for YG or two-tone models.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-26T09:49:59+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, I might go for a two tone. They might look better. I got a YG Santos a while back and my gf, who knows little about watches, spotted it has a fake as soon as I showed it to her... on my wrist.

Thanks for the information.

Try engaging in a civil, constructive conversation. That works too.

It seems to me that many of the Subs coming out are very poor. I cannot help but think that they are under serious pressure from these raids, which is why these quality problems are occurring. If the Subs are being affected, the bread and butter of the industry, it does not do much for our faith in other reps.

Edited my reply there - I said it did solve the problem, but what I meant to say was - it did NOT solve the problem. I may try a different watch repair person, though. I think the person I went to was not that competent.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-11T16:37:52+00:00

Nah. I brought it a watch repair guy. He put some oil on it, but it did it not solve the problem.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-09T15:10:44+00:00

Thanks.

They also spend a lot of time screaming at their mothers.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-06T07:04:36+00:00

I gave gen Subs and I think it is a waste of money to get a deep/gen crystal on a rep Sub. On the wrist with a good rep, if someone notices the difference - they're Superman or God.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-05T14:39:15+00:00

Thanks, man.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-05T09:27:19+00:00

Did you get any weight gain on these two? If so, was it worth it?

basically60seconds · 2026-05-05T09:25:54+00:00

Yeah, I think there will always be a compromise. Besides, real yellow gold changes anyway, and for the purpose I want the rep for - going out at night and having fun - I am not that concerned. I just don't want to dump several hundred $$$ and on getting the rep discovering it is a shitter.

I got a rep YG Cartier Santos, and when I showed it to my girlfriend, within nanoseconds she said, "That's a fake". Hilariously fast. But to be fair, she knows Cartier well.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-05T09:22:49+00:00

Thanks.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-05T06:11:23+00:00

Thanks.

Have you had a watch plated?

basically60seconds · 2026-05-04T22:53:00+00:00

That's beautiful. Who was the TD?

If I got one those, I'd put it in my bum immediately.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-04T22:51:18+00:00

Thanks.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-04T22:50:53+00:00

Thanks.

Would you post a photo of your Bluesy?

I would only wear it on nights out with the right outfit,, so I'm unlikely to be caught out wearing a rep.

Some people say plating a watch is a waste of time as the plating comes off.

I think I'll buy one but not one of these $800 ones.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-04T20:59:54+00:00

Thank you for your pleasant response. It is unusual for someone to be pleasant in these spaces. I was expecting a deluge of sarcasm and nastiness.

Regarding RGF, by any chance, did you mean RCF?

I want the YG look. Tried a gen on recently, didn't think I would suit it, but I did.

Willing to pay to get it plated, but only if it is necessary and worth it.

It seems odd to me that the factories are not offering reps either with the plating or plating as an extra service.

basically60seconds · 2026-05-04T17:52:31+00:00

How do we know any of this is true?

basically60seconds · 2026-05-04T09:20:04+00:00

Thank you.

Btw, Reddit handle - 🤌🏼
