I know there aren’t any good Speedy reps out there, but still wondering if this particular Speedy Pilot has been made by any of the factories? TIA.

VSF NTTD v7.
Not a fan of the mesh bracelet as it grabs my wrist hair quite a lot! Might put on the nato strap soon.

ARF Daytona Panda

Anyone here owns a VSF 36mm OP or 40mm OP in the Rose Pink dial?
I’ve a 6.5inch wrist so confused which size to go with.
How close is the dial color to gen? Are there any other factories besides VSF who make an equally good rep?
Not much info on these or qc posts so not sure if these are being made or not?

This is my first ever Daytona purchase from ARF with the 4801 movement.
I’ve a few VSF GMTs and other watches and this watch feels incredible for its $300 price tag.
What is the general consensus on this model vs. the VSF, is the VSF far superior with its $600+ price tag & what would be the key differentiators?
I’m in love with the Daytona so I’d appreciate some inputs if it’s worth getting a VSF or do I go batshit crazy and get a custom modded to get the ultimate experience?

After running out of luck the ARF Zombie, came across QF’s weighted DD movement and this thing is absolute banger for ¥3750.
Having used it for a day outdoors and shopping centers, the gold color feels natural and not cheesy as this has been concerning with VSF and other Zombies.
QF also offer this in a free sprung SH movement for ¥4500 but I didn’t see a reason to try something new other than my current tried and tested VSF GMTs with DD movement.
Extremely happy with the purchase, will post some pics in the comments.
Also not sure if Reddit applies any color filters on videos but my raw video on the phone looks more cleaner than this video appears to be!

After diving into the rep bags rabbit hole, I had the opportunity to buy two Goyards from Griffin.
Seller was extremely professional and quick in responses. Given the quality of exceptional product, Pricing is quite reasonable!

This isn’t a detailed review, however a reassurance to anyone looking at buying their first rep, take the plunge! Research and learn from your own experience.
Most importantly nobody cares or puts a magnifying glass on what kind of bag you are carrying.

For fun sake, here is my full Goyard wardrobe.
Would anyone like to guess which two of these are the Griffin reps?

Bags shown are:
Plumet pouch-wallet.
Saint Pierre card wallet.
Artois MM Bag.
Belvedere PM Bag.
Rouette Souple Bag.

Thanks for this active and engaging community who take their time to share their experiences and feedback which helps everyone tremendously especially newbies!

Buying my first ever Daytona rep, this is the ARF 4801 movement or youth as they call it.
I’d like the watch to be aesthetically near perfect.
Do I need any mods to this? Thinking of full case polish, bracelet chamfer and crystal swap.
Open for any recommendations.

Not something you see everyday.
I’ve been on the lookout for a smaller AP RO and the 77350CE has been a fantasy piece for me.

Reached out to multiple TDs and everyone denied having any knowledge of this model however Steve at TOW mentioned B7 factory and being honest that this isn’t anywhere close to a ‘super clone’.

Additionally B7F used to make the actual full ceramic version however due to low demand they’ve now discontinued it and offer this steel coated version.
All for $300 it was worth a shot and I’m happy to have experienced how a smaller size appears on my wrist (I am not impressed or just used to looking at 39 and 40mm).

I’ll give it time however I wanted to share this with the everyone if anyone was interested or on the lookout for smaller APs.
