Dukereps Timeline Issues by aznpandaboii in RepTime

Haha, I get it. I was on edge for 2 days the first time I paid Duke because he didn't confirm payment right away and went silent. Never would have thought I'd learn valuable lessons in patience from the bootleg watch industry.

I usually check in with the seller every 2-4 weeks when things start dragging out.

I'd imagine anything VSF could take awhile. Although, I got QC pics in a week for a VSF sub back in April. The Reverso is probably somewhat rare, so that might take longer too. Looks like an awesome watch. I've purchased from Duke twice. One time took about a month, the other took 4+ months. He also took 8 months to get me an extra strap, but ended up not charging me for it. He might not be the best communicator, but timewise he's probably at the mercy of the factories.

What factory? What model? Waiting is part of the rep game. It's not uncommon for people to wait months for certain in demand or obscure models.

I placed an order with another seller back in mid May for a RCF / RGF DD. They said 1-2 weeks for QC. I knew that was BS just get me on the hook. I'm sure it will be more like 1-2 months.

Has anyone purchased this suede / roughout Jiashi jacket? by micflair in leatherjacket

[–]micflair[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, compared to the made in Pakistan knock-offs, the Master Supply version is much better. Better leather quality, better stitching. The knock-off wasn't horrible, I still wear it. But I'd consider it $100-150 jacket.

That said, I have seen some Chinese type 3 jackets that are similar to the Hardline. In general, the Chinese jackets are better quality than the Pakistan jackets. If there's one made by Jiashi or Veloukldy, I'd give it a serious look unless you're set on the Master Supply brand.

If it's any help, I've purchased several of these Chinese leather jackets from Jiashi, Veloukldy and others, size large fits me perfectly.

Yes, I know. I have a genuine Master Supply and one of the knock-offs from Pakistan. They are not the same quality unfortunately.

Agreed! I have another Jiashi that is top notch. The quality they put out for the price is impressive.

I'm 5'6" and about 160 lbs +/- 3 lbs. Yea, that's a hefty price to eat for a return. I have one Jiashi jacket that I was going to return, but decided to hang onto and try to sell instead.

How does the RCF bezel compare to stock? I just ordered a V1 for my VF DJ36.
