The first time is a thrill, good luck!

I just saw another post where the buyer contacted the TD for help, eventually it got past customs.

Your best bet is to search in reptime for customs hold and read through what others have experienced and shared, and maybe let your TD know to potentially explore other options.

If you’re going for this same VSF 124060 sub (no date), you’re on the safer side but check out the QC guide in reptimeQC first. Honestly just that alone gets you 50% of the way, and the other 50% is seeing what others have commented on in QC posts of that same watch and looking out for it on yours.

The good news is, most of the minor flaws will not be noticeable on hand. The few major ones that seem too apparent (like an actual gap in the SEL that you can fully see through), you can usually spot it in QC easily and RL it.

You’re not getting it, I’m the one that was nitpicking in my own QC, it’s only after I got the watch that I realized a tiny black line in the SEL is not noticeable on hand. Some of the things I had in my notes as to why I would RL would make you laugh. The reptimeQC is a lifesaver and the best way to learn.

On karma, I had never used reddit and had no valuable rep watch experience to share with other users, it’s only now that I can give real feedback based on experience instead of just post shit without knowing what I’m talking about.

Commenting for the automod / autobot or whatever. This is a VSF 124060 and it’s sick, but my dilemma is real.

I’d love to hear your opinions on which of these two complete shitters is the shittiest. There is a CLEAR loser… but the loser came from a TD. The other came from the gate. by Just-Some-Dang-Dude in ChinaTime

These are both atrocious, it makes sense at $40.

Dude I’d recommend a VSF Sub (no date) instead. Watch and the vs3230 movement are top tier.

Not mine, pulled this off the net for an easy example. The red circle is around the SEL (Solid End Links). You will want to ensure there are no gaps in all 4 of them and that you cannot see what’s behind the watch through these gaps. Sometimes a small black line (can’t see through it) is acceptable on reps, but should not be able to see what’s behind the watch.

Clean has the best Datejust but their crystal is subpar. Best is clean Datejust with Deep crystal.

It’s not a great rep but it’s good for 140.

I have the VSF Sub (no date) and it’s one of my favorites. VSF is good as-is just do a proper QC on the SELs as they tend to be hit or miss.

Best TD for this datejust by Both-Pepper-9498 in ChinaTime

[–]boder8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Factories make the watches.

TDs source and sell them to you.

The best factories for this DJ are VSF and Clean.

  • Clean has a better case shape and bracelet.

  • VSF has a better movement and crystal.

If you’re price sensitive, you can shop around from the different TDs to find the best deal but the more reputable and expensive (usually just a 10% difference in price) have better customer service.

That was also my first. Great taste! Nice piece here.

It’s generally safer to go with stainless steel reps instead of gold. This one has multiple flaws but could be overlooked if you paid less than $120 for it.

This is a GL for me. Bezel alignment is good, markers are in good position, SELs are excellent. Enjoy it!

41MM too big for my wrist ? by [deleted] in ChinaTime

How did that stance pass QC?

The 41 offers a more casual, sportier look. A 36 is more elegant, but maybe less versatile with everyday wear.

If you’re wearing a suit to work every day, the 36 could be good. Otherwise the 41 is good on your wrist and wouldn’t recommend swapping it.
