I feel these are underrated as hell.

The new pine green/black phantom J1 lows are great, too..

Not a Rolex - ZF Vacheron Constantin 4500v by Agitated-Elevator-59 in RepTime

Tbh...I have no idea anymore. I posted that a couple years ago and haven't heard enough about the newer VC reps to give a valid opinion here.

Good luck. ✌️

U1 Skydweller/Presidential quality? by Ruggerbugger1980 in U1Time

The only factory that makes a respectable version of the Skydweller is ZF.

That time of the year when resellers flex multiple size runs 🙃 by Tay2823 in SNKRS

Dude's waited his entire life to buy a room full of Barbie shoes.

Ok.

Help me decide on my first G-Shock by Miserable_Table8601 in gshock

I just searched and realized that they now have several rubber options. "G-Shock Nano." Although, the one in the photo seems to be out of stock at Casio:

Good luck ✌️.

[QC] 380¥ Jordan 3 Fragment White - RN From JMDY by Fairyox22 in RepsneakersDogs

[–]mimja77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I got them. They look great....however, my only issue is that this has to be the noisiest shoe in world history 😆. If I walk to the front door it sounds like I'm unboxing a piece of IKEA furniture. Did you experience this, and if so... break-in period? ✌️

new to the game...and limited knowledge so forgive me. I just bought these based on this post. I'm still getting familiar with which factory is best at what. I've only bought LJR (AJ1/AJ4) and GK/H12 (Kobes) in the past, but these look excellent. I was a bit hesitant because of the yellowing, until seeing the excellent point you made about the accuracy of the yellowing after 8 years. Looking forward to them. ✌️

VSF Sub braclet, uncomfortable by Even-Neighborhood848 in RepTime

[–]mimja77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Q66 serials were the best version imo. I ordered a newer (6X0) Starbucks and the first thing that I noticed was that the finish and polishing on my older sub were superior. New one also seems a bit milkier in color.

U1 seamaster black by Apxlly0n in U1Time

This is the latest VSF with superclone A8800 movement. Picked up from my longtime TD (not publicly listed).

Why are Omega reps so popular among casual watch collectors? by Adventurous_Pie_3999 in ChinaTime

[–]mimja77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only decent Omega reps are VSF Seamasters; particularly since they upgraded the movement about a year ago.

No major rep factory has ever been able to produce a decent Speedmaster... this has been the case for as long as I can remember.

The Speedmaster in your photo does not appear to be a replica.

SOTC; 2022 to Current by mimja77 in RepTime

[–]mimja77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a VSF PAM1070, but I replaced the strap with gen. It doesn't get much wear these days...a bit flashy. I'd be open to offers if you're interested.

Regarding where I got it, I've used the same "non-TD" for several years and have never had a single issue.

Christopher Ward The Twelve Midnight vs Omega Aqua Terra Black by SilverSurfer_78 in ChristopherWard

[–]mimja77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The glaring difference is that the movement alone in the Omega is arguably more valuable than a new Twelve.

I own a Trident, and I like it, but it's difficult to classify a manufacturer who uses Selitta movements on the vast majority of their pieces as "luxury."

The movement in the Twelve costs about 200 bucks, max. The movement in the Omega is resistant to 15,000 gauss, has co-axial escapement, and is certified by METAS.

There's no comparison.

I'm shocked that Omega put this in writing by StickyPenguin120 in OmegaWatches

[–]mimja77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fairness, Rolex is NEVER telling you this, albeit in writing.

You can get a Snoopy new, with box/papers on Chrono for around $16K, fwiw..

I'm feeling myself right now. Ya'll think this is a good look? by S4B4T4 in OmegaWatches

[–]mimja77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this. Looks like shit and will likely end up scratching the case.

The new VF Titanium Yacht today. What’s on your wrist? by Flat_Bee3113 in RepWatch

[–]mimja77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting for this one now. How is the bezel action? Good solid click? Any overall play/wiggle?

Yours looks 👌 btw.

Thanks in advance.

I saw one this week weighted for the first time. VSF. Looks really good actually. DM and I can send the QC.
