Llevo un tiempo pensando en coger este reloj pero necesito diferentes puntos de vista ya que soy nuevo en esto de las replicas.

¿Que tan buena es esta replica en comparacion con otras fabricas y en comparacion con el original?

¿Que consejo me dariais?

¿Diriais que es un NWBIG? ¿O se mueve en el margen de "replicas baratas" o "replicas con muchas cosas por mejorar"?

Si doy el paso, en un futuro me gustaria cambiar el movimiento y ponerle un ETA 2824-2 original para aumentar su durabilidad a largo plazo, ¿Esto seria posible?

¿Veis posible que llegue a España o es muy arriesgado?

Gracias amigos, todo consejo es bienvenido

I know good-roiexx doesn’t give out individual QC photos, however they did send me these stock photos. What does everyone think?

2.FACTORY NAME: arf

3. MODEL NAME: Rolex Sub date

4.PRICE PAID: USD 393,5 (shipping/insurance included)

5.ALBUM LINK: https://imgur.com/a/uP2XIrG

6.INDEX ALIGNMENT: Alignment seems to be quite solid to me

7.DIAL PRINTING: it looks good, any issues that i can clearly see on it, seems crisp and centered, I ONLY HAVE a big doubt about the engraved written "rolex" on the rehaut between 6 and 9, looking not aligned at all. That is the reason why i think i'll go for a RL this time;

8. DATE WHEELALIGNMENT: it looks ok to me

9.HAND ALIGNMENT: they look correct

10. BEZEL: it looks to have the correct shape and the numbers on it seem to be correctly and clearly engraved

11. SOLID END LINKS: look fine to me

12. TIMEGRAPHER NUMBERS: according to what i "learned" on the dedicated post on reddit, it seems to me that there are no major problems

13. Any other thoughts or issues? I think i should go for a RL because of the engraving not aligned on rehaut. I am going to give this watch as a gift to a friend of mine who was very impressed by my first rep i bought at the end of april (a VSF OP 41 green dial) and really don't want to give him a watch that i wouldn't take for myself! i'll be really grateful for any further opinion on it. Thnks a lot

RICH Factory's ( I will refer to it as RF for short from now on) Rolex Submariner MK2 V2 ——Movements are available in free-sprung versions.

1.MK2 bezel:

The color of the updated green bezel is “gold green”. RF can achieve 99% similarity to the original.

For users whose genuine bezel (including ceramic insert) is damaged, this part can be used as a replacement.

2.Dial:

For users whose genuine dial is damaged, RF dial can be directly installed as a replacement.

The reason is that the outer edge of the dial is CNC-machined with a cut, which allows compatibility with genuine watches.

The pattern and details on the back of the dial are identical to the original. RF does not provide further explanation on other details.

3.Hands:

The luminous part is recessed, the edges of the metal parts are chamfered, and the sides have a polished finish.

4.Crown:

Under magnification, the area around the crown logo on the original is uneven, while RF is smooth.

5.Crystal:

The magnifier coating color matches the original version and is highly transparent.

What's your thoughts on these? Info courtesy of ARC Studio. Feedback and opinions from you all watch enthusiasts is welcome. VSF begins to have some competition, but I'm not sure that this product is yet superior, even though it is free sprung while VSF isn't. But it looks promising.

1. Dealer name: Steve / TheOneWatches
2. Factory name: VSF
3. Model name (& version number): Rolex Datejust 41 Blue Dial Smooth Bezel Jubilee Bracelet VSF V1
4. Price Paid: $478 USD + shipping
5. Album Links: https://mega.nz/folder/qM5UyS4C#n104S-JgIZNxXctFhu74Aw
6. Index alignment: Looks good to me overall. Maybe very slight possible issue around the 6 marker / 1 o’clock area but could easily just be angle distortion. Would appreciate extra eyes on this.
7. Dial Printing: Print looks clean and centered from what I can see. No obvious issues.
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: Date sits maybe slightly low/right on “23” but not sure if it’s just the angle/cyclops distortion. Font looks good.
9. Hand Alignment: Looks fine to me, no obvious issues visible in the photos.
10. Bezel: Smooth bezel looks clean and evenly finished. Crystal seating also looks okay.
11. Solid End Links (SELs): SELs seem pretty tight overall. Small gap on one upper side maybe, but nothing major IMO.
12. Timegrapher numbers: Not provided by dealer yet.
13. Anything else you notice: Overall this looks like a GL to me, but would appreciate opinions from people with better eyes.

Note: The original dealer photos were not perfectly straight/head-on, so I did my best to straighten and align the dial before using alignment tools/grids.

Hi, I am Leo at Time Ultra.

No fluff, straight to the point. Let’s look at the highly sought-after Daytona Ghost. Left is Gen, right is the VSF V2.

⚖️** The Weight Ga**p: 26g Difference

The Numbers: Gen weighs 163.6g (18K white gold). VS weighs 136g (904L steel).

The Secret: The watch heads and rubber straps weigh virtually the same. The 26g deficit is entirely in the clasp. Steel simply can't match the density of 18K gold, so the VS clasp feels slightly lighter in hand.

📐 Case & Dimensions: Spot-On

Specs: Gen (38.7mm x 11.9mm) vs. VS (38.8mm x 12.1mm). A fraction of a millimeter difference—totally imperceptible on the wrist.

Details: The crown guards and the signature "three-dot" crown marking on the right are perfectly cloned.

🔍 Dial, Hands & Crystal: Micro-Precision

Crystal: VS perfectly replicated the new Gen-spec sharp, beveled sapphire crystal edge with a subtle top polish.

Dial: Excellent color matching on the slate grey dial. The sunburst grain is incredibly fine, and the sub-dial CD rings are sharp with great reflectivity.

Pinion & Hands: The VS V2 features the correct capped, cone-shaped 3D center pinion with a center hole, plus the flat-profile chrono hand.

🦘 Strap & Clasp: Top-Tier Comfort

Oysterflex: VS upgraded their rubber compound for V2—it’s incredibly soft, supple, and hugs the wrist just like Gen.

Clasp: All precious metal stamps (AU750, St. Bernard, scales) are deeply engraved. The only tell is that Gen gold stamps have a faint yellowish tint, while the steel ones on the right are crisp white.

⚙️** Movemen**t: Flagship Dandong 4131

Function: 100% identical operation to Gen (pull out to the first position to set time clockwise).

Feel: Winding is buttery smooth without any gritty resistance. Chronograph pushers are crisp, and the hands snap back to zero perfectly with no stutter.

📝 Quick Verdict

The only real compromise on the VS V2 is the 26g weight difference in the clasp. Beyond that, the precision on the capped pinion, beveled crystal, and dial grain makes this a near-flawless NWC (Not Worth Buying Gen) contender.

Hey everyone,

Im a noob so i’d like to have your opinion.
Im looking to buy a BVF Santos Cartier XL for my birthday next week.

I wanted to get black Santos ADLC but each picture I saw of it, it felt like the date was not centered at all. Especially noticeable when its in 20’s, the second digit looks so not aligned with the 2.

So I looked for other colors in XL and it felt like they had the same issue with the date.

I’m wondering if I’m tripping or not, but I’ve read other people saying it too.

Thank you

Hey guys, it’s Heavy here!🙋‍

Today I’m bringing you a close up comparison between the ARF factory GMT-Master II two-tone and the gen⌚️

From the two-tone gold‑steel finish bezel texture to dial details Let’s break down how close the ARF version can get to the Gen.

Watch the full video to spot the subtle differences and similarities 😉feel free to drop your thoughts below!

Gen on left, RGF on right (previously called RCF). RGF bluesy has Deep crystal installed, which is a cheap mod (±50€) that basically changes the crystal for a clearer one. After having seen extensive QCs and posts on RWI from RCF/RGF, I believe it's a must on all RGF watches.

The plating on the rep is EXQUISITELY done, gone are the days of having to replate the watch to remove the 🧀 cheesy gold look. I find replating unnecessary on all RGF watches. I'm surprised at how similar they look, even when put side by side. Weight is apparently the same too, so that's another win for us rep lovers. (Not my pics, I'm not a yellow gold guy)

What do you guys think?

Hi everyone, this is Hevay.🙌 With the successful progress of the Artemis , I can’t help but recall the great feat of Apollo’s first moon landing.🚀 Today I’d like to share this Apollo Dark Side of the Moon timepiece🌑🌕 from SWF with you all. It’s crafted by SWF factory with an all‑ceramic construction. Hope you love it.

Hey

I have just received a photo of a 41mm two tone black dial RCF

Is the bracelet right? I thought they'd updated the centre link to be separate, this one is just plated

It’s absolutely amazing that the mint green dial has so many different “expressions”

What’s your favorite dial?

1. Dealer name: Leo (TimeUltra)
2. Factory name: VSF
3. Model name (& version number): Aqua Terra 38mm SS/SS Black Dial VSF VS8800
4. Price Paid: $331 + $30 shipping
5. Album Links: N/A (sent through WhatsApp)
6. Index alignment: Seems good to my untrained eyes. Maybe only small thing is the 8-hour marker slightly towards the left, but I'm not sure
7. Dial Printing: Everything seems well done and aligned
8. Date Wheel alignment/printing: In some photos it looks misaligned towards the top. I only have the "22" to compare
9. Hand Alignment: Looks god
10. Bezel: N/A
11. Solid End Links (SELs): N/A (although there might be a small gap in the upper right?)
12. Timegrapher numbers: within acceptable range
13. Anything else you notice: N/A

Hello everyone, first rep for me. Overall the watch looks good to me and I am leaning towards GL, but I might have missed something since I have never had to QC a watch before, so any help from more expert users is much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

So whenever I post a review on one of my reps, I usually include a timegrapher reading of the movement. I don't know if people find that useful, but I like to know what state the movement is in.

So I thought, today I could make a post about the app I use. This is a super mini review of one of the apps I use to "manage" and have an overview of the health and state of my admittedly small (but growing) rep collection.

I use this iPhone app called Oscillo for measuring the performance of my watches, both gen and rep. I recently found out that after dropping my VSF Oyster Perpetual (that is a very sad story), something in the movement got knocked out and had to be sent off for repair.

The application and its results are almost identical to the numbers I'm getting from my Weishi 1000, but it saves me the hassle of getting the Weishi out and setting it up and then packing it away, which is quite nice as it doesn't have a permanent place on my desk.

Anyway, I just wanted to put my appreciation out there for this app. I like it a lot, you may like it too... or not! I hope some of you will find this useful!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

PS: showing off the performance of my latest purchase, VSF Rolex Explorer 224270 - great watch!!

Lets keep the money train on rollin

I was in talks with the known RepTime and RWI TD Hont, and due to him mentioning something about V7F two days ago, I asked him to clarify. And he delivered great news!

V7F is back, or at least he has access to their stock. If you wanted their IWC Ingenieur or Pilots, follow these steps:

1: Text him on WhatsApp +8613113307655 with the code "Blue eyes" and tell him which one you want.

2: Wait 3-5 days QC

You can also check his current stock at https://a.wsxc.cn/FEBlcOr ( 24 hour QC our stock ! )

Finally some good news after we lost APSF and VF. As they say, whenever one door closes another opens.

Have a nice weekend!!

Hello everyone, I’m Leo from Time Ultra.

Previously, I shared a comparison between the original VSF crystal and a Deep crystal. Today, I’m bringing you a comparison between the original RCF crystal and the Deep crystal.

In the images, the left side shows the watch fitted with the Deep crystal, while the right side shows the original factory crystal. The Deep crystal has a thickness of 1.8mm, while the original crystal is 1.9mm.

After viewing the comparison, feel free to share your thoughts. If you prefer the look of the Deep crystal, you can contact me at any time. I can provide this service.

I hope this post is helpful for everyone. Also, if you have suggestions for future comparison content, you are very welcome to share them.

PS：Since images and videos cannot be uploaded at the same time, I also have many comparison videos available. If needed, feel free to contact me. I can provide them as well.
