Hi guys I bought this shitty dhgate rep I really don’t care about the quality or how bad it is, I’m just dipping my feet into watches but for some reason this pin came undone and for the life of me I cannot get it to lock back into place can anyone offer any suggestions please sorry if this is a basic problem | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Line the link up with the sides and squeeze them so it slides back into place. Unless you broke the springs on the pin, you'll need new pins | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
One side never seems to lock into the little slot it’s supposed to one side does but the other side for the life of me I cannot get it to lock in idk if there’s a problem idk if I’m doing something wrong I’ve tried to many different things to try to get that pin to slot into that one hole but cannot | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |

Take the spring bar out. Squeeze the ends on a hard surface gently and see if both ends move in and out freely. If one of them is stuck, you might need a new spring bar.
I see you said it doesn't lock in. Is it stuck in the pushed-in position. If not, after you align the spring bar, slowly and gently wiggle the side t... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |

There are many watchmakers that will change the bezel and crystal gasket, so you can also waterproof it. Depends on your location, check rwi or r/reptimeservices | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-22-07 |
Which “bezel mod” are you referring to ? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |

My wife is currently in china and I need a replacement pearl for my submariner, does anybody know a seller where we can buy one from and have it shipped to our hotel? | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
I've seen them on Ali Express (as I need one for one of my subs). Can't say how good the quality will be though. Also not sure how fast the shipping is when ordering from China to China... so may be of use, may not! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |

r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 | |
I’ve done a bunch of them. You need to use a different gasket. Xing sells the correct gasket, you just need to ask for one. You will also have to shave the diameter of the new gasket as well. The bezel will be too tight to press on without doing that | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
How’s the color? Looking to install one on my rose gold daydate plated from flan | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |

Strange xing suggested qf or arf gasket but didn't reply when I asked him if he had one | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
I've asked him 2 times now and I never get a clear answer | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Can you dm me more info as I'm talking to a watch Smith who deals with xing alot an he still saying it can't be done even though I told him what you said can you be more specific with details of which gasket and how exactly it's done ? I've been searching for months | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Bro I have a video of my watch with the watch maker what he sent me explaing why he can't fit it he knows xing well an has messaged him for me if I send you his video can you tell me what you think about what he's saying | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Hi,
I've got a VSF Datejust 41mm. Went to wear it the other day and as usual I'll give it 20 or 30 winds and then put the watch on.
Well nothing happening no second hand moving. No sound from the watch completely dead. The date Wheel moves and both hour and minute hands move.
I gave the watch a few shakes and nothi... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |

It is so sad. I am seeing this constantly here about rep’s from China that die. The vast majority are because they use a Chinese made movement, the infamous DG2813. The Chinese copied this from Japan’s Miyota 8215 which is superior and far more reliable.
They use the 2813 because it is cheaper and locally sourced. ... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
VSF doesn't use shitty DG2813 movements. Lol | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Well you explain his early death, lmao. Must be a quality Japanese or Swiss movement they always use, huh? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
They use a basically 1:1 clone movement. Parts are interchangeable with genuine. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
And a high percentage of reps die prematurely, why? You neglected to answer. No statistics that I am aware of, but it would be a joke to compare to movements from Japan or Switzerland. Other watch subs on Reddit don’t report sudden movement failures and “What do I do now ... it’s a new watch?” | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Big deal on the interchangeable parts. Yes, this applies to the DG2813 and the Miyota 8215. I wouldn’t let a DG part near an 8215. A waste of breathe to revive a DG with a good 8215 part. Use a clone part into a gen ETA movement? Hopefully the ‘disease’ doesn’t come with it, ha, ha. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
From your reviews, I gather that your VSF Datejust 41mm is just 5 months old? Is this correct? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Correct yes not lasted that long really has it. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
You must buy chinatime pieces. You seem very unaware of the quality and failure rate of the high end reps on reptime. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Overwound? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Talk to the OP | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
It may not be related to the failure but hand winding an automatic watch is not good for it. You should only need to give it a shake to start it running and then wearing it should wind it up.
The gear trains are not designed to be wound 20 to 30 winds on a regular basis.
I read so many threads with people constantl... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
I have lots of Reps and not one has died. My collection is a mixture of Rolex, omega and others.
All going strong after a number of years. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Give it a gentle shake for a minute or so and see if it starts up by the automatic module winding it.
Sometimes if they have been discharged for some time it can take more than 20-30 winds for them to jump to life. It could just be the escapement is sticking and needs a gentle shake just to get it moving. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
False, not really how tension works, if you fully wind a watch to it's pruported let's say, 42 hour power reserve. The automatic nature of the movement won't keep it at 42 hours. It will lose about a quarter to a third of its power and stay there. Test it yourself | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
That's not the case in my experience. I even have the omega world timer rep with 70 hr power reserve and just wearing that will wind to that level. Easily run for nearly 3 days once taken off.
And my ETA / SWs run for more than 30 hrs when taken off. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Tried that and nothing. I've put a few pics up with the case back off. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |

Can't buy a VS movement can get VR though. Thinking is send it off find out what the issue is and cost then can weigh up if it's worth swapping out for a VR movement. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-16-08 |
Really? I thought was possible to get VS just a little more expensive. Although at that point might be better off buying a new one or getting repaired.
Did you try reaching out to any repair guy? I know you can get VR for $150 ish | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-16-08 |

I see. So the DD end links would not fit then? That's disappointing, they are much better looking. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
I mean you might be able to use the president end link but then the lugs might stick out | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
I understand now. Thank you! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Interesting concept. Would like to see it for fun. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Same, I would like to see it before buying it myself, but it doesn’t seem like a popular thing to do. The oyster is so boring compared to AP and others, but the president’s looks very refined. Above comment mentioned it would fit with daytona oyster SEL, but that definitely detracts from the look. Hopefully someone wit... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
The only issue I see would be the lugs would be brushed and not polished. Unless it’s the other way around. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
That’s a fair point, but the oyster and president are both mixed already. The polished end links meet brushed bracelet in both instances. My concern would be location of spring bars in the president bracelet being different than the lug holes on the daytona case. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |

Following this 😍 hope its possible! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Hey all! I have been researching Franken watches and have a potential idea. If I bought a gen mid-case would a clean movement, dial, hands, and bracelet fit onto the gen midcase? Specifically thinking of the new clean explorer ii with the dd3285.
Thank you! | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
It should but who knows if it will. The more sensible way to mod it would be gen crystal, bezel and crown. Throw in a rehaut polish and you're pretty much there. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
More or less, it should without much issue.
Just make sure the mid case is the correct model number. 3285 and older 3186 movements may not be compatible in each other’s case | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Yes, the new Clean Exp 2 with the dd3285 will fit in this case. I'm not 100% sure about the bracelet, but I'm 99.9% sure it will fit. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
If you were going to swap anything, wouldn’t the gen movement be the thing to upgrade. Ya know, the part that actually makes the watch work reliably?
I mean, do you, but why spend any money to put a clone movement in a genuine case? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
The DD3285 movement is actually really good from what I’ve heard. However the new clean explorer ii doesn’t have an accurate crown, the bezel font is too big, and obviously their crystal isn’t gen. So by swapping the internals of the clean into a gen case would get rid of essentially all the tells. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
Not exactly. You just need a new crown, bezel, and crystal | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
I agree this would be cheaper. But having a gen serial number and case also holds value to me. That being said I think the bezel and crown might be the direction I go. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |
You have access to a complete genuine case set? That would be pretty awesome. I believe everything would swap over internally without issue. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-23-07 |

use 3285movement
but 3285 have 2 version

don't use GMT 3285movements
size be wrong
exp 2 have bigger dw | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |

Hi all
I have a VS3235 that was DOA. I removed the balance and pallet and noticed the train of wheels is running very well. However, when the balance is inserted (along with the pallet) it seems to encounter friction somewhere as it will not spin freely.
When the balance is inserted (without the pallet) it will spin f... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Why did you try to fix a watch that was DOA?
You should have contacted the seller 🗣️ | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
I got it from a seller that has been good to me. I understand that it probably would have a been a good idea to reach out to them, but at the end of the day they are just a seller, not manufacturer. Either way its seems like im not terribly far from having it repaired anyway so not too much of a headache | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
With power in the watch, does the pallet snap back and forth without the balance in place? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Both the pallet fork pivot and balance pivot intact and not bent ? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
Yes it does | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
They both appear to be in good working order | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
So the pallet snaps good, and balance runs freely without the pallet in place, and train of wheels runs freely. The pivots are all good as well and not bent. I would then look at the pallet jewels. I would bet one or both of them is not correctly in place on the fork. That would cause the escape wheel to catch and not ... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-24-07 |
