I’m a citizen of the world holding a Singaporean passport@nivlek. I was born and bred in Singapore, and spent years being educated overseas before returning. Are you local too? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No idea if the submariner is authentic but that dial and bezel are definitely aftermarket. I have seen that exact dial sold on ebay before.

I don't have much to say about the diamonds and the gold, they do look genuine. I am sure that your jeweller knew what he was offering and so, you have a nice piece of high value jewellery at the minimum. The movement, judging from the datewheel, may not be a genuine Rolex one, and like @reckoner777mentioned above, it looks like a standard ETA one. The Rolex experts here can help you a lot better when the movement is seen. I am looking forward to seeing it myself.

The police raids are part of the game like what mike said. Allows the police officers to get extra money right before the lunar new year. It’s pretty routine and there is nothing to worry about. Just wait and your QC pics will arrive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you for sharing about Yuki, @occb2, and the facts are very useful reference for everyone reading your posts bro. It looks like the floor has fallen from beneath their feet already. I guess it won't do justice to term the current SH3135, 3132 movements "Yuki clones or Yuki movements" because according to you, they are made by the same factory Yuki purchases from and distributes forward, at exorbitant prices vs cost. Having a monopoly does strange things to people, and is a very fertile ground to encourage greed.. Well with the situation the way it is, it will be a matter of time before the demand for "Yuki movements" fall right off the planet. Thank you once again for sharing brother.

The replica daytonas with full working chronos are too thick, and the movement used in them is a lot less reliable. The ARF ones have chronos that work partially (up to 60 seconds), and the correct thickness, or at least one which is much closer vs gen. The movement, though not as reliable as say, the A2824 or 2836, is still more reliable than the modified A7750 sec@6 with full working chrono. I agree with @themannier though, the non working chronos are not issues at all. Let's face it, chronograph functions on watches these days are 99% unused and serve more as decoration, adding complication to the dial. I hardly even touch the chronos on my gen daytonas. In this hobby, it is often that we make decisions about what we can live with, and what we cannot. For me personally I will rather have the correct thickness, a more reliable movement, and I can live without working chronograph. You have to make your own decision about your preference though.

Thank you kindly Freddie! By sharing your own experience and knowledge it helps other members learn through your posts. That was what I meant. Thank you in advance for your willingness to integrate into our community and help others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Freddie No offense taken at all and I hope you can stay and integrate yourself in this forum and you’re more than welcome to stay. Like I said asking questions is fine but I certainly hope you can stay and do a lot more for others and also pay it forward to the new ones in future. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh wow, thank you for sharing this, I had no idea. So Yuki did not sell the movement to the factories who converted them to the SH3135? If so, the demand for Yuki movement is effectively declining toward moribund now I guess, given the price difference..

Thank you very much bro, for the comprehensive and detailed reply. I appreciate it. So I understand from what you said that the SH3135 is essentially a prettied up Yuki movement. And I assume likewise that the same goes for the SH3132 movement.. You make a difference with all your specialized knowledge, thank you once again!

Hi Freddie To answer your question, yes it is a trusted dealer here. It is not quite appropriate to use the word legit when you are talking about dealers of replica watches. Secondly, instead of cycling through the dealers and then asking if each one if "legit", it may be more productive to read up on: 1. The trusted dealers list (yes they do change their website addresses from time to time but the dealer remains the same) 2. Where members purchase from. I understand that you are new in the hobby, and you have questions to ask. But a lot of the answers can be found if you take your time to read. Also, I want to explain that if you send me PMs and expect me to respond, you need to show more politeness, and not ask questions in an entitled manner, and thinking that I am obligated to reply them. Saying thank you will help too. The manners of most newcomers are questionable, and most of them feel entitled to getting a personal tour of the forum and it's resources by asking curt questions without even showing courtesy or respect for the members who take the time to help them, and then scooting off without thanks, and returning again when they run into issues. This is not the type of members we prefer to have. Take the time to read and learn, interact with other members, and pay it forward by helping the new ones. We are not just here to answer your questions. Each of us took the time to learn about the hobby through our own journeys, and simply putting out your hand and requesting for information beneficial only to yourself, and not contributing or giving back in any way, will not put you on anyone's favorite list. Can I please ask what the difference between an SA3135 and SH3135 is? Thank you kindly

I am not an expert for Tudor, if you were directing your question at me. But the ZF factory seems to be a good start. Also, you should do your own reading and comparisons. "Best" for everyone is different, depending on what you can live with and what you cannot, since all reps are flawed, some less than the others, and the products of each maker different from the others.

I think that one difference between the forum and real life is that we tend to notice a lot more details from pictures, and discuss and debate them a lot more. In real life I doubt that you can notice any slight misalignments or minute flaws unless the watch is inspected carefully and in close proximity. Confidence and class are keys to carrying off watches well and I’ve met guys whose behavior will make a gen watch look rep. Your watch looks good@drifterr and the date looks very aligned, to answer your question. Congrats and wear her well mate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure if you were asking, but yes puretime05.com is 100% legit.

Prime example of “flaunt it if you got it”. well done bro. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

T the watch looks fantastic honestly. I do like the blackhole on the cyclop, and I’ve seen pics of gens which look less flattering lol. Congrats and wear her well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yuki produces the clone of the 3135 used in the submariners and other others but this 126600 uses a new 3235 caliber. So even if a yuki movement is used in the watch it will not be necessary or accurate. Tframo is correct. The 3235 time setting direction is the same as the ETA one.
