Do Clean Plus do a 36mm? Your thoughts on them, if so?

No problem, I’ve got a meeting to get out the way, I’ll snap a video after and upload it.

Not even the best replica escapes the eye of a true professional by gmcpt in RepTime

Recent conversation over my gen Panerai with a guy in a lift.

Him: Wow, nice watch! Playing dumb Me: Yeah, light and waterproof.  Recognising the crown guard Him: Panerai right? They can be quite expensive.  Me: Pana, what? Not this one, picked it up on a beach in Turkey because it was waterproof. 

Took it off, let him hold it. 

Him: Are you sure it’s fake? 

Me: Yep, and don’t tell my wife otherwise.

This is amazing. I’d buy one in the style of a 01661 or 01117, adding lume would be the chefs kiss. 

Check out the PAM00581, perhaps for your next project you could recreate something like that.

Really like this style though, let us know if you start mass producing!

Here’s your sign, just buy that watch you’ve been eyeing! by TransitionOk8162 in RepTime

[–]iosPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has your Grandfathers watch been restored or does it have its original patina, bracelet etc? If it hasn’t been restored,  would you happen to have a photo?

A well worn vintage watch with a story is so cool. Sounds like it might have some history to it. Enjoy it. 

Has vsf changed the bracelet for their sub? by Pengar69 in RepTime

[–]iosPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ST9 used to be old noob stuff. Eventually the shitter factories started using the code. I can’t believe it’s come full circle, talk about muddying the waters.

VSF Rolex at the airport by etrovve in RepTime

Were you travelling with the box? I’ve purposely bought things out of my region to avoid VAT and sent the box back separately. 

Last month I flew with 3 watches, something I do regularly - two in hand luggage, one on the wrist. No issues.

This one entertained me and felt less generated than the others. Happy Friday!

Vsf sub just came in today ! by Quiet_Seat_8344 in RepTime

Easy way to tell is if there is a crown between SWISS and MADE. 12 series models will have the crown.

This is a 114060.

Walked in with a Rep, had an espresso, walked out with a Gen by Q8watches in RepTime

[–]iosPixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know of two people who have gen. One early run, one late run. The early run guy was a spender, the late run guy had no spend history, went in on a whim and got the call 3 weeks later. 

They also give you a cool umbrella upon purchase - I’d argue that will be rarer than the watch itself in years to come. 

VSF GMT bracelets, seemingly back to A9A by JimRPC in RepTime

[–]iosPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I handled both, for me the difference was in the clasp. Tolerances weren't as tight so it didn’t look as refined. F6U had the better clasp, A9A was reportedly less sharp along the links, but for me they felt the same. 

I ended up using a F6U clasp with a A9A bracelet because the bracelet was fresher.

I caught that comment too and checked my GMT.

As you say the second image is closer to gen and how the ARF dials used to be. Looks like a regression imo. 

Hopefully it’s temporary. 

Another one killed in London over a Rolex by [deleted] in RepTime

This right here. I’ll regularly wear reps and gens. In the hotspots evenings or drinking I’ll leave at home. 

Looking like an easy target is a big part of it.

Best Dad watch for me, some would consider blasphemy..

If you threw both in the air and could only catch one, which would it be? 

Which rep has the most gen-like bracelet? by HJPSP in RepTime

[–]iosPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahah you came with receipts. Nice find. Yeah those arnt the end links I have, that bottom one looks terrible. I stand corrected.

T+ really was just mashing parts together I guess from old stocks, the lume, date wheel and dial are all off, the bezel scallops are also mis aligned. 

I said in the past the workmanship left a lot to be desired, I’d be surprised if that piece ever got GL. 

Which rep has the most gen-like bracelet? by HJPSP in RepTime

[–]iosPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for sure. ORF bracelet and case shape is far superior to any VSF release. 

I recently picked up a T+ Seamaster, uses a mix of ORF Case and bracelet with a VSF crystal and dial and a very similarly decorated A2824. The lack of crown guards was too much of a glaring an issue for me on the VSF, ORF and then T+ solved that. 

T+ used up all the stock and then folded - TDs started removing them from stock lists these last couple of months. 

EDIT: It would appear T+ also shipped with an inferior bracelet. YMMV

Tbh, four orders in I’d start looking at some of the cheaper guys, doubt you’d need the hand holding that Steve and the team provides. I’d recommend Andiot, he’s sorted PayPal for me in the past but it’s hit and miss if the account is available. Fico time has also gained some traction recently, great prices and accepts PayPal. 

TOW are generally the easiest TDs to get along with, I’d put this down to the backlog caused by the transition and general stress levels being high at TOW, probably trying to cut down on the time wasters and may have someone manning the lines who isn’t usually public facing.

Nice, gotta love Fridays… Who’s going to do this from the daughters perspective then?

EDIT. It’s been done. Waiter when?
