Getting into rep builds — best sources for Viet cases, dials, hands, etc?

Been getting pulled deeper into the rep build hobby and trying to learn the parts ecosystem before I start buying random stuff.

Trying to figure out current recommendations for:

  • Viet cases
  • Dials/hands
  • ETA or clone movements
  • Trusted sellers/modders
  • Best value vs overpriced hype

I keep seeing names like Ruby, Phong, MQ/Minh Quy, Yuki, etc but still trying to understand who actually makes parts vs resells.

Would appreciate recommendations on:

  • who you trust
  • beginner mistakes to avoid
  • parts worth spending extra on
  • good forums/Discords/resources

Trying to avoid buying junk twice.

You think we need one more you…think we need one more…all right we'll get one more.

If you can successfully guess which watch I purchased to fill the box I’ll buy you a god tier Casio.
