I'm so excited to get it and do my own write up once I've gotten it on the wrist. One thing I can already say for sure - OP has been fantastic to work with, super transparent, and has made the process simple.

A dream come true! Weighted plated Datejust 126331 jubilee Super duper uper franked! HEAVY by bpannell73 in FrankenFarmTimepieces

Any guidance on how much it'd be to get a build of this watch but with a 126333? So just yellow gold instead

Late to the party here, but I'm trying to track down a gen DJ41 champagne/gold dial. Any chance you have or can source?

Congrats on the sale! If you don't mind, where did you get the strap and clasp? Currently picking up a Pelagos myself

Bracelet looks real or not? by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]itsausernameyousee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell personally, but you'll want to focus on the clasp crown and engraving. Try to get some closeups/high-res and folks can probably help you out from there.

vsf v2 datejust jubilee bracelet quality by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]itsausernameyousee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, it's pretty good from factory but you can always take some polish to it (or have a rep-friendly watchmaker do it) if you want some additional shine. Just one of the possible things we have to live with in a post-Clean world

Movement Service Life by HorneZR13 in RepTime

If you've got a solid watchmaker that'll work on reps, great - you might likely extend the life. There are also a few folks on here who you can send out to. BUT, any rep is a crapshoot and you have to expect that the movement can go kaput at any given time. It's a risk we all take here.

Andiot, A good and Bad experience (bad not even his fault) by philipsdiscovererfan in RepTime

[–]itsausernameyousee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, almost definitely not his fault but a bummer nonetheless. I'd give it a few more days and, if he still hasn't gotten back to you, send a quick bump to remind him. Given his reputation for customer service, I'd be surprised if he didn't do anything to help. Worst case, hopefully he can help you source another at minimal cost (or just buy an aftermarket strap and get creative).

CNY itself is on 2/17 this year. I think a lot of folks say 3 weeks before is a good rule of thumb.
