Short answer: no, it's not (even though I wish it could for a short time)

I checked the options, and making the subreddit go "private" will only allow approved users to view and post here, meaning there are like 150ish approved users that have been added to that list over the years (mostly due to IP address/account issues, etc).

If I make the subreddit go private and then I want to make it public, I have to not only change the setting in mod tools, but then reddit admins have to review and approve that request. So for now, reptime will remain as it always has: an open subreddit that is the discussion place of replica watches. Just please be civil as always, and be kind and good to all of the newcomers and regular members alike.

Edit: for purposes of contingency, please subscribe to r/reptimeservices where we would announce a second subreddit in case something happens.

Hey guys (and gals),

I quickly updated the spreadsheet before calling it for the end of the week. I worked my best to remove the now closed factories of APSF, VF and some of the others. I believe V7F is back now for the Ingenieur so I left them up.

Who Makes the Best Guide.xlsx

As always, I'm not an expert like some here, but do have a lot of experience specifically with AP. ZF free sprung is currently the best for the 15500 and some other models which was surprising.

Rolex

• Some of the high level updates: - Most Submariner, Yachmaster and GMT updates: added free sprung from Rich and QF but still not NWBIG due to inferior crystal to VSF. It's just that good to me, but I'm welcome to have discussion around that. Closed caseback still makes it the best.
• Added some Free Sprung Daytonas to the mix from QF , but I am not hyper into Daytonas, so please feel free to edit my levels. I left VSF as best just for safekeeping lol.

Patek: removed VF and adjusted from there

AP

• Removed APSF, qhich required extensive rework.
• My opinion for the best blue dial AP model right now is Top factory blue 15510 free sprung. Just an amazing dial they are currently making.

Vacheron: Moved MKS to best Overseas 4500V because the ZF movement sucks bad.

Richard Mille: Added RM67-01 from R7F

IWC: Only added APSF is now closed quickly for time. I have to be done now.
