I tried to purchase from other factories, but the TD told me that only VSF factory was still producing unless I went with a worse Miyota rep.
I was trying to get the ORF factory version from TheOneWatches | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
Hey btw when you look at your rep and gen side by side how close are they? Not counting the crowngaurds? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 | |
Indistinguishable. Opening up the case back is another story, but at face value, it’s a really really good replica. the visible attributes actually insane.
Nobody would know it was rep unless they were servicing it or something like that | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
Aspire to? I'm only a good example of watch gluttony sadly. lol But I appreciate the comment. It's been fun to build this collection though and these older reps that are no longer in production are some amazing pieces. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
The VSF factory also uses a strange screw for the rotor, and it’s a dead giveaway. But that’s only when the watch is off-wrist and case back is opened. (Had to service my vsf SMP since the rotor screw was loose on arrival) | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
Sadly the summer blue rep isnt up to that standard, side by side its obvious which is which. Thats not to say its not a beautiful watch, i liked it so much it made me get the gen. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |

Lmao none | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
I haven't bought a rep yet, but I'm interested. However, I would want one or two that are almost indistinguishable from a real one - and I"m more inclined to go for something on the more conservative side (ie not a watch that says "bling". More of a quiet wealth one or two.
Are you happy with the purchases? And w... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
It is at first. Once you get a few, SOME people don't have that itch, but please don't go crazy and get kicked out for spending money on reps. I'd rather see you invest it. But do what makes you happy. Please just my .2 Cents. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
Are the casios reps too? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
I really like the Omega Seamaster rep. It was really good and prompted my to purchase the Gen. I probably shouldn’t have purchased this rep twice, but I did. One on rubber strap and one on Steel Bracelet for wearing with suits
I really didn’t like the Tudor pelagos at first. The style was interesting and I couldn’t im... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
I currently have two reps and want one or two more. I don't need a huge collection. I have them mixed into my 10 watch collection with Gens. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
What does the rep cost vs the gen for the Seamaster? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
VSF Seamaster Rep #1 - $418 from The one Watches
VSF Seamaster Rep #2 - $300 from Andiot
(Same exact watch. Be sure to shop around for prices)
Gen pre-owned - ~$4,000 | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
Much appreciated advice. I’ve been watching my stock positions decline for the past couple of months. The whole time I was thinking “dang I could’ve bought a watch” lol | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
How long do you think the watches will last? And from what I've read here, it seems like folks buy a rep and then replace gen parts. I don't want to get that complicated. But if it's a watch that will last a lifetime (say 10 years with periodic wearing... I'm all in). | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
I couldn’t say, as I’ve only owned reps for a month now. The only problem I can imagine is having is the Main Sprin of the automatic movement breaks.
This will need servicing. This will cost about $250 if you don’t do it yourself. At that point, I would personally just buy another rep.
I simply don’t know how long ... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
What kind of work do you do? Do you own your own home? How do you have enough cash to buy multiple reps? I’m about to order my first and know I won’t be able to stop at one. I’m taking my time to decide on what will be the first. Although they are so inexpensive compared to gens I think they are still a considerable co... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |

But I save so much money and have little expenses, that I accidentally fell down this rabbit hole of watches. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
Good for you to be living at home and saving. I’m at the other end of the line. Hoping to retire in a few years at 61. But I love watches!!! Also the cost of reps is around 35% more in AUD. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |

I’ve got 4 and don’t really wear them as much as my Gen, but it’s nice to know I can always resell them here if I get tired of them. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
One at a time. I have a list of watches that I work my way through, if I come across a piece that I really like then I keep it permanently. Otherwise they just don’t get enough wrist time which is a waste in my eyes. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
Which Gen did you go for, mate? | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |

My interest in reps has made me somewhat less respectful and more suspicious of the big brands. I just returned from a vacation in Turkey where rep goods are everwhere. Everybody was wearing clothes with brand names, blingy watches and jewelry. It was all counterfeit.

0 but have one on the way. Of a different model than I want of the Gen.
I'll probably wear it for 6 months or so and if I really like it, pull the trigger on the Gen. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-22-08 |
12 reps and a few gens. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-22-08 |
I’ve got 6 reps now. I’m pretty much tapped out as the other companies I like (JLC, ALS, Grand Seiko) don’t have good reps yet. Maybe I might get a Plat Daytona or DD but those are super obvious as reps. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-22-08 |

I have a dsom ceramic omf, it’s lovely to look at if you can get over the missing dot at 220. The movement is not nice to use like the vsf aqua terras. It was my first rep I love it but it’s best to stay away unless the speedy is all you want. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |

Aqua Terra pretty good rep though right | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-22-08 |
Yeah they’re decent. Have a few of them. No complaints. Honestly the seamaster reps are all pretty good. SMP300, Aqua Terra, Planet Oceans. Even the Constellations are good. Just the Speedmasters are generally crap. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-22-08 |

BVF is the better option if you can get one without a floating "R" in CARTIER. AF hands are blunt, bracelet is a little more flimsy. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |

If you ever plan to get yourself a 5712 and modify it with aftermarket parts get yourself a good and trusted watchmaker in your area. It’s my favorite watch in my collection but caused me the most headaches.
I bought this watch with all mods there are, except for any movement mods. It ran for about a month then it st... | r/reptime | post | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
Service for this movement is a must | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
It's not a ticking time bomb in my opinion as someone who services these on a regular basis, but yes glue should absolutely not be used to adhere the dial to the movement. Utilizing a sticky pad (dial dots) is the better choice when *required,* but they aren't necessary for most mods. SW moonphase requires glue, but... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
Thanks for your insight. I am not a watchmaker unfortunately but my watchmaker also told me that its an amazing clone. He said the movement was very dry, no oil used at all in some places. He said with time it would rub off the parts and break. Maybe i just was unlucky but didn’t you have this in the movements you serv... | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |

Are you talking about removing links the size to your wrist? You just need a basic precision flat head screwdriver. If you really want to you can get low strength loctite to make sure it doesn’t fall off either. | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
Yeah, removing the links. Ive seen some that were pins as well as some that are flatheads. I probably have a lot of really strong smaller flat heads just in my toolbag/van tbh, but I wasnt really sure if it was the pin type or not | r/reptime | comment | r/RepTime | 2024-21-08 |
