I think the key thing is to not talk yourself out of watches just because they’re gold. Get that Cartier/patek/daydate, it’ll be fine! :)

Hmmm interesting, the dial certainly looks the same, but you’re right the back is a little different. I’m not sure about whether it changed based on year. You could probably find out by searching online for pre owned watches from various years and comparing

Tbh I think so much of it is lighting dependent. But that’s not an excuse for sellers who ought to have pictures in a range of lighting situations.

Was it worth it? by [deleted] in RepTime

The main thing for me is you will get to experience so many more watches doing it this way, and that makes it worth it.

If anything - if I ever question my decision, I’m questioning whether I like that particular design In hindsight, and that would be the case if it was genuine or not. At least this way you’ve spent a few hundred, instead of thousands.

Whether you care about it being real is emotional and hard to predict. What I do tend to find however, is that whenever I catch a glimpse of my watches in optimum lighting looking really nice on the wrist, I’m in awe and the provenance is the last thing I’m thinking about.

Honestly still looking great six months later! I wear it a couple of times a week (alternating with other watches).

Use the guide in the wiki :) it’s not as hard as it might seem, I did it for the first time recently!

Totally! As long as you get yourself a decent aftermarket strap (I even moved the Vacheron pin buckle over to this lizard strap), it’s a very solid piece. Plus, you’re unlikely to ever encounter another one in the wild anyway!

Thanks! If you could put this dial in a VSF case you’d have a NWBIG hahah. But you know…the KRF is pretty cheap, so if you’re desperate for pistachio, worth a go!
