Very disappointing. Better start checking your land-dweller.

Wanting to buy a DD40 next, and I’m curious who makes the best ones. Any input is very much appreciated

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.

Can anyone tell me which factory has the highest quality of these watches?

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.

A friend of mine who had used Angela told me positive things so I thought I’d give her a try. Great communication, always pleasant and polite and just received my first 3 watches today. Looking forward to g forward to receiving some more from her but here they are. If you want a hassle free transaction use Angela

Very happy with Elliot and the Andiot team.

I did my research, decided on the watch I would like, the factory I wanted it from and which TD I would use.

4/13, I saw that Elliot did not have the watch in stock so I reached out on WhatsApp and gave him all the details.

4/14 he let me know it would be 2 weeks before he had one as he was waiting on QC from VSF. I went on the website, registered and ordered the watch. Shipping via FedEx.

Right on the money (4/27) I get the email that QC for the order is ready for my review. All uploaded to RepTimeQC the same day and with the communities help, GL'd the watch. Same day I get the update that the order has shipped. This is where it got a little funky, but thanks to this group and others, I read....just be patient. As most of you know, during this timeline/process is when all the FedEx shipping problems were going on. Combine that with the Chinese Labor Day holiday & S--T happens.

4/30 told watch already shipped, but via USPS (OK Elliot had posted that might happen due to the FedEx problems).

5/6 Get an "official" shipping email with tracking number (hmmm, links to FedEx)

5/12 responds to my email that the Shipping company may choose different methods due to latest shipping conditions. Link shows going via HK.

5/14 Despite SPECTER's best efforts, the Seamaster NTTD arrives at my door!

This is just to let the newer people (like me) know....just stay patient, stay the course and realize the TD's are looking to make you happy and get your watches to you as quick and safe as possible.

The unit is Renminbi.

I just received a QF Day-Date 36mm and Longines Conquest from Felix.

Everything went smoothly, he has good prices, you have to have a little bit of patience with him and wait for his answers as he may be busy, but he usually answers in 24 hours.

He can source any watch from almost any factory. Waiting times are good. He didn't ask me to do any deposit before QC. He changed the first watch he had in stock by himself before even doing QC as he detected that there was a problem with the movement, which gives me confidence that he won't try to pass on me something that is not decent as other sellers do. Payment can be done in PayPal and he also offers insurance. Shipping took about 2 weeks.

I recommend this seller and will definitely repeat 😌

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!

Tried to take some detailed photos - what do y’all think?

ARF Daytona with decorated 4801 Movement

This watch is a beauty. Much better in person than photos.

Ok so I saw an add of this watch for sale and contacted Easy Watch.

I was told QC would take 3-10 days. Put my $10 deposit and 3 days later got QC photos sent to me.

Seller had great communication and accomodating to my requests. I asked for extra photos for QC, because there were lint and hands blacking markers. He then went and took more photos and a video to go with it within 24 hrs.

I gave it the GL paid the balance on 27 April and received the watch 19 May. 1 week delay due to China’s holiday. So overall not too bad.

Note: Deposit was paid to a PP account and balance to a separate PP.

Service: 10/10: Easy Watch has good communication and customer service. Comparable to TOW. Not only he responds quickly, his language and tone sounded he wanted to make things right for customers.

Package and delivery 7/10: wrapped in bubble wrap, adequate and ok. Not sure how his delivery works, I didn’t get tracking until I entered my country. I kept nagging him for a tracking because I needed to know when it arrives so I can plan to work from home that day. Easy Watch prob got sick of me but still politely responded and when he got the tracking, he sends to me without asking.

Price 10/10: $310, pretty much on par with other sellers doing promo at the time.

Overall very happy with Easy Watch as a seller. Only thing I wish is that I could get tracking from the very start. Getting it after arriving in the country cause my anxiety to rise 🤣.

Everything he said was true to his words, from QC times to tracking. I hope this gives people some confidence in trying him.

Pre Raid CF Steel Daytona. I love this spec and how it feels on the wrist.
