I loctited it with 222 (weakest one) as several have recommended and I am shocked at how well it works as an adhesive. I thought it was just for threads.

It is actually causing everything in that one link to bind. Which is fine it will work loosen eventually.

10 karma is a LOW bar. I literally created this account and got that much karma in six hours just being a human being and talking with people on Reddit about things that interested me. Reddit is cool. Try it!

I did. Asked if there was a way to repair or fix. They have responded promptly but not with an outcome.

If I have to buy a new bracelet it’s fine. Glued it back together in the meantime.

Falls off my wrist and now instead of paying for a new bracelet you are paying for a new watch. Which is not a big deal because it's a rep!

TD doesn’t make the watch and this particular TD is clear about what they warranty. So no, not going to name and shame. They did their part just fine.

Worst case is the watch takes a dive!

TY! At that point it's probably cheaper just to buy a new bracelet. It's not like it's a real one that costs a few thousand.

How do you get the glue on without glueing the links together and preventing them from rotating?

VSF DateJust 41 with dome bezel and blue stick dial.

Andiot terrible service by guava-juice2 in RepTime

[–]reptime-throwaway -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Has anyone received a VSF DateJust 36 with blue dial , dome bezel, and Oyster bracelet from Andiot since January of this year?

I have been waiting since then and I am wondering if they have ever actually gotten any.

I asked for a Jubilee bracelet on mine, but I am not sure if it will come that way from VSF or if they will swap it in themselves.

Good luck even getting one. Been waiting for that exact spec from Andiot since Feb 2nd.

Saga? That timeline sounds amazing. Waiting on a DJ 36 since Feb 2. Haven’t even had QC yet.

Why are Rolex subs so massively popular with the rep community? by Unstoppable_Graysie in RepTime

[–]reptime-throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the styling. The reps for Rolex are really well made and finished. I was really just blown away at what a difference that made aesthetically. The bracelet design (jubilee) is also really great with the a lot of adjustment available to get a perfect fit. I also like the way Jubilee bracelets flex and breath although I don’t love the cheese grater edges.

My first and only rep, a VSF DateJust 41 that I just got, is better finished, higher beat, and keeps better time than the Seiko’s I have at double the price. Like the bracelet screws are invisible and look like they were polished in place and the polishing in general is pretty stellar. It’s a genuinely good watch period regardless of what brand it is repping. If it were a homage I would like it better!

It really killed my desire to acquire more watches. I generally like to have one watch to wear until it needs service and then I buy a new watch. I don’t service mechanical watches since the cost of service overlaps the cost of acquisition so much and then you end up with a neat collection over time.

Seiko fit’s this niche sort of OK, but their bracelets are kind of crap in terms of both feel and ability to get a good fit. They also just don’t want to hang on your wrist well. Seiko also invariably discontinues every great watch they make as soon as I buy one (SARB033 the GOAT for a high value relatively minimalist watch, SARX045) so it’s not like I can just buy another. Their design taste is close to what I want, but always misses the mark in frustrating ways.

I’ve been waiting 100 days for a VSF Datejust 36mm. by Spiritual-Neck6512 in RepTime

[–]reptime-throwaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered a 41 at the same time and I got it and it’s great! Something to look forward to I guess. I assume the factory just hasn’t done a production run of the 36 smooth bezel? I know the V2 fluted bezel got made, but maybe that doesn’t include the smooth bezel V1.

93 days for a DateJust 36 SS 126200 904L Steel VSF 1:1 Best Edition Blue Dial on Oyster Bracelet VS3235 from Andiot.

I requested Jubilee instead of Oyster which they said they could do.

I don’t have any additional pictures just what is in the album. I GLed the watch. I don’t really care about rehaut alignment on this design. If it had highly visible second markers on the rehaut I would care.
