Looking closer at this after giving the watch a GL i’ve noticed there’s a gap between the bezel and the case and it seems hella big. I had to RL this model 2 times because of wrongful dials so when i got this one that had a flawless dial i jumped to GL a bit too quick. Looking back at the previous 2 QC’s, all 3 watches... | r/reptime | post | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Is there anything to be done about this? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 | |
Hmm ur right, gonna take a closer look at gen watches. U found this on rolex website? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Yep, there’s definitely a gap. Check this render: https://www.rolex.com/watches/datejust | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Yup i’ve seen it. Although it seems mine is curved upwards an incredibly tiny bit but the chance of someone noticing that irl will be 0.001% | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
A replica does not have the same gap tolerance as a genuine product, shocking. Let’s zoom in x11 to find a fault with a 500 dollar replica. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Well dude the genuine wonder was if the gens even has a gap because if they don’t then you wont need to zoom in 11x to see the flaw, you will obv see this gap with the naked eye | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
this is also present on my gen dj. nothing to worry about.
It may be ever so slightly wider than gen but it’s so minute that it would never be noticed. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Nobody will notice or care. The only chance of something like that happening is if you try to sell it as genuine.
But then you’re a POS. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Thanks man | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Noted | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
i think it's a fair question. the entire pursuit is to get as close to genuine quality as possible, right? that's why every cares about the factory that the watches come from and the whole rating system.
if little things like this are "who cares" then where does it start and where does it stop? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Of course the gap looks big, you’re zoomed in like you’re checking for traces of DNA of a lost civilisation
How can a curved surface and a flat surface not have a gap? As others have said, even gen has this; plus you said you saw it on three CF watches yet questioned if it’s an RL flaw? Come on…
To back up the othe... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Unless you hang out with friends who wear loupes no one will see | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
What are you worried about with the gap someone seeing it and saying it’s a fake? My experience ppl are gonna think it’s a fake based on you not on the actual watch I have a cheap 109$ Amazon watch called a Holuns and everyone that walks by at a glance compliments nice Rolex even though it isn’t ur worrying about a min... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-19-08 |
Yes it does. Due to the difference of levels of the center and the sides. The center is flush, which create a space for the side links to have this gap. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-20-08 |
Is Tag Aquaracer 300m calibre 5 or quartz NWBIG? Which is best factory? Thanks | r/reptime | post | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Original factory | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
OF (Original Factory) makes really good ones, with the full box set, user manual and even the warranty card copied.. I have 2 automatic aquaracers and a quartz F1, all of them are excellent. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Thanks, how much did you pay and whoch TD you buy from? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
My most recent aquaracer automatic is from Hont for 388 USD, bought a month ago. The previous from Trusty time, but it was a while back. I think most TDs can source. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |

After doing research and countless experiments with oil baths throughout the years, I found no lasting effects with oil baths.
I realized Oil Baths are just a waste of oil and they just leaves dirt marks on your wrist so I stopped using them.
Now I invested into an Ultrasonic Cleaner and the bracelet luster and sm... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Do you find the ultrasonic cleaning removes some of the “cheap” feeling? My VSF oyster bracelet felt so bad til I soaked it in some White Lightning chain lube. I haven’t had issues with it picking up dirt. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
First ultrasonic and then dry lube. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Ahh okay, gotcha. Thank you. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Yes! It did in my experience! I tried it on CLEAN and VSF to good success. Even Ultrasonic my Gens lol.
I never had any success oil bath. It always looses the smooth feeling pretty quickly.
Even if you don’t see the oil picking up dirt, the inner area in the link, if it has oil, it will pick up dirt, dead skincel... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
That’s a good idea but I find dry lube a little redundant. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
It depends, some bracelets are fine after ultrasonic but some still squeak. Having said that, I have a gen oyster that I contemplated giving the same treatment as it squeaks | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Yeah I see. Thanks for the info. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Anyone did this to a santos bvf? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
It’s the same. I tried it and it felt smoother as well. Tried it on a bunch of watches I had lol.😂 | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Exactly! I after reading that if Johnson oil etc I put the one I use for bicycles, Teflon . It's going wonderfully. It's the best | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
So you just throw it in the ultra sonic cleaner and that’s all or did you made something more as well? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
I make sure not to get the watch movement in the machine since that will loosen screws.
Usually separate it from the case. Some stubborn dirt, I remove with a soft bristle toothbrush then throw it back in the ultrasonic cleaner | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Can you recommend a Ultrasonic Cleaner? Which one you use? Thanks 😊 | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Any brand you recommend? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
What liquid solution did you use? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
I used White Lightning | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
@CarloJrWatches, what solution are you using? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Okay I am patiently waiting for my bvf so I will also do your routine when the bracelet isn’t the smoothest. Did you recognise any improvement afterwards? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
I use a solution I bought locally. It’s premixed and I bought it from a watch repair jewelry shop here.
I don’t know what exactly is in it. Try asking your jewelry shop.
The place I bought uses this mixture for cleaning diamonds and gold jewelry and watches as well they told me. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
I replied in a comment. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Yeah. After the cleaning. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
And now the oil will attract dust | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
I don’t use oil and am somewhat against it.
Read before you comment. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Said oil bath in post so.. no need to read rest | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
You essentially read the title wrong….
Do you get what this sign means “>”? It means better or greater than. I’m saying ultrasonic cleaning is better than oil bath. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Dude like what? Can you read? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
I used it after using the ultrasounds for cleaning, children's oil and it lasted for two days without squeaking and the sensation was also quite horrible. Tired I put the one I use for the bike... I can say the brand but it doesn't matter exactly. What it does have is Teflon which for the use of the bike chain helps to... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
This is awesome! I have one at work that I will use, I’ll check back on this thread to see what the solution is. Thanks again | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Great man! 😁 | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Can you post a link for the ultrasonic cleaner? Thanks! | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Big ole disclaimer for anyone planning on using an ultrasonic cleaner.
NOTICE THAT OP ONLY CLEANED THE BRACELET!!!!
DO NOT PUT YOUR WHOLE WATCH/MOVEMENT IN AN ULTRASONIC CLEANER UNLESS YOURE COMFORTABLE FIXING IT OR PUTTING IT BACK TOGETHER BY YOURSELF!!!!
When I was far far younger and just starting out in jewel... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Yes. I have said that but thanks for the reminder.
Bracelet only. Ultrasonic will mess with automatic movement | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Yeah more for everyone else because you did it right haha
Have you tried using jewellery liquid with the strap in the ultrasonic? I found it did really well for the polish.
Something like connoisseurs premixed gold and gems cleaner
Also a soft gold polishing cloth could help too! | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Yes I did! I bought my solution from a local jeweler. They use it for cleaning gold and diamonds. And some watches they have in stock. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
What about oil in the ultrasonic cleaner have your tried that? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Bros huffing too much paint | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Seems counterintuitive and useless. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Honestly even just a cheap one off Amazon will do. For a while I used like a $20 one and it was great (now I have a nicer one, but that’s because I use it for other stuff as well) | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
What does the side of the bottle say? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Isnt there grease on the pins in the bracelet wouldn’t ultrasonic cleaning eat away at it and lead to premature wear and tear? I always thought thats why they used oil baths.. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
which $20 one? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Any Sharp edges? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
What would be the best way to clean the bezel ? If it’s water proofed can it be dropped in the ultrasonic cleanser? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
I don’t remember, I got it a long time ago. But just search for ultrasonic jewelry cleaner/retainer cleaner and there should be tons of options. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Ooh this is genius | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Just wear it... The natural oils from your skin will do the same thing. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
maybe I’m not oily enough? idk I wore that watch for like 3-4 months before doing that and it didn’t improve much | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Do you never do anything that might cause you to sweat? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
I work an office job and when I go to the gym/fishing/hiking I switch to my G-Shock. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Both. Get the gritty oil out, then replace it with clean oil. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
Hey, thinking about doing this with my clean sub bracelet- do you need a solution? Or is water alone fine? Thanks!! | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
A jeweller told me once a little bit of detergent will do the trick | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-19-08 |
Genuine Rolex Link doesn’t have grease in the links. So no. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-19-08 |
Only removes stickiness between the links. Doesn’t do anything to sharpness.
I use a buffing wheel on those | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-19-08 |
You can use warm water and dish soap, after its cleaned just rinse it off. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-19-08 |
I've heart that shampoo that contains silicon does a lasting effect. It was said its much better than oil and it also doesn't attract dirt. Just put the bracelet into such shampoo for a night and wash it off with warm water. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-19-08 |
Without the movement, yes. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-19-08 |
Nicely done. You can also separate the bracelet from the clasp and remove the screwed links to get a better clean.

This is how the fixed links are put together, ultra sonic cleaning isn’t going to do much to get dirt or debris out of those.

I've wanted to try this but I've always had trouble installing the bracelet back on the watch difficult.
Anyone have advice regarding this? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-20-08 |
It’s a hard job where you can only get better through practice.

I’ve bought 6 or 7 watches from Duke over the last couple months and other than a slight delay on QC for one watch (assuming not his fault) my experience has been very positive. Quick responses, answers to questions almost immediately, etc.

I got downvoted to oblivion for promoting US based dealers but it seems everyday a new TD horror story appears on here from the same “trusted” ones | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
I’m trying to remain hopeful, but my last few messages to him have been left on read for waaaaay too long, and when I mentioned a possible refund and cancel order, it was just ignored. Mo in FL has been VERY solid to work with and I foresee most future purchases through him. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-18-08 |
