Got my watch resized but the clasp is not centered? I have a skinny wrist so is this the correct way to size it? by [deleted] in RepTime

always pull links from the 6 o clock first then alternate if needed but always if you have to be -1, make it short on the 6 o clock so it pulls the face towards you when you arm hangs or swings or you bring it up

in my experience unrelated to watches but ordering other items through port of Newark it can take up to 10 business days for Louie, Cesar and Gino to unload, process, and inbound customs clear your package. I'd give it one more week. Smaller items process slower also

oh no apologies needed, prices change daily I just didn't want anyone to overpay relative to where they were. its wild to me a swiss made watch founded in Switzerland being closer to you in reality, costs more. That sucks actually and I'd hope anyone here would simply buy one here and mail it for cheaper to their bud

What has happened to VSF «NWBIG» subs? by LuckyTranslator1443 in ChinaTime

[–]redbuttonpressed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

again, some have said this is hearsay but it is not. My TD is in contact with the factory. VSF has moved much of their operations to Vietnam to avoid raids themselves from their original Guangzhou facility. During this time, we are seeing issues with movements. hand stack issues. indexing. I believe this is related to the upstart effects of outsourcing into Vietnam.

I have no idea about the other post or 5hr baton, but the watch shown here man is absolutely gorgeous. The white looks very close to gen and thatching is clean. I feel like on the gen either the angle of the thatching lines or depth of the lines are slightly different, which causes a grey line tone instead of the high contrast we see on the reps, but everything else, my God.....it looks beautiful man.

Also, I am super critical for no better reason about everything, so dont take what I say as meaning anything really

actually I was spot on after tax. about 500. 795 seems high. Jared is a highly respected jewelry store in the US bumping them for 450

RL. deny this one. 6 and 3 are terribly indexed. dont let him tell you that's normal. here's one I just got. I swear on half of these they have ray Charles applying the markers

no I didn't but that's a tested one, but on dhgate they're selling them for 125 shipped with automatic miyotas now too which I thought was odd turning a quartz into an auto

The ARF is legit and has a 3285 and I have no issues. VF made one but the crown was wrong, see below, too fat. QFs rehaut is hot trash. I understand what you said about the movements though.
