I bought this RICH Pepsi GMT from Jun and I’m really happy with it. From comparing the different factory versions to checking every detail during QC, he took the time to explain everything and helped me choose the version that suited me best.
Thanks again, Jun, for the thoughtful service and a very smooth experience.
Just received the RICH Pepsi and ZF Pelagos 39 from TD Jun.
I chose the RICH partly for the free-sprung JH3285, while the Pelagos was meant to be the quieter daily option. Jun helped me compare the available versions before I made the final choice, and both arrived looking great.
Most GMT reps posted here seem to be Rolex-based, so this CR Spirit Zulu Time caught my attention. The green bezel, gilt accents and lume work better together than I expected. The bracelet and clasp also look reasonably finished, and the full watch weighs 161.9g.
I haven’t handled the gen, so I’m more interested in what CR gets wrong. Bezel color, dial printing, case shape, date window or movement—where are the obvious tells? Has anyone owned one long enough to comment on reliability?
I asked my dealer about upgrading the dial on my 4131 Daytona, and he sent me these RB V2 options.
The updated version has cleaner polished subdial rings, raised printing, rounded markers and Swiss lume.
The turquoise caught my eye first, but that green and gold could look incredible once assembled.
Which one would you choose?
After doing way too much research and listening to everyone's advice here, I finally picked up the VSF OP.
Honestly, I couldn't be happier.
The finishing is excellent, the dial looks spot on, and I haven't run into a single issue so far. QA was quick, and shipping to the US only took about a week.
At first, I thought the size was a little smaller than I expected, but after wearing it for a couple of days, it feels absolutely perfect.
I also spoke with quite a few TDs before ordering. In the end I went with Jun because he replied the fastest and patiently answered every question I had without rushing me.
If you're still on the fence about the VSF OP, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
We met up for a drink and ended up talking about our watches more than anything else.
If you could only leave wearing one...
Which one would you choose?
I wasn't even looking for a Panerai today.
Then I saw all these VSF models on sale.
Now I'm spending way too much time comparing references.
Which PAM would you pick?
All three of these were purchased through TD Jun after he was recommended to me by members here.
I asked way too many questions before ordering, and he was patient enough to answer every one of them.
Now that they're finally here, I can honestly say I made the right choice.
Three watches, three different vibes, and I genuinely love all of them.
I honestly fell for all three. The problem is, my wallet only likes one of them 😂 For now, I'll keep working, keep saving, and hopefully one day add them to the collection. If you had to start with just one, which would it be?
I'll start.
Saw this dial and immediately loved it.
Then I started wondering whether it's one of those watches that looks amazing in photos but takes a certain personality to actually pull off.
I could see some people wearing this every day.
I could also see others thinking it's completely ridiculous.
So where do you stand?
25?
45?
Or never?
