My girlfriends grandad left her this watch, I’m an absolute novice when it comes to watch knowledge, and I’m also new to this forum so be kind. Any info would be appreciated : )

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and to the hobby and I want to get your opinion on this cheap dssd noob v6.1 being sold by trusty time. http://trustytime.store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=12305

Hi. I’m new to this Site. I have been interested in a replica for a long time. I have had really bad experiences after spending thousands on genuine TAG watches and now want a ‘proper’ watch. I don’t have 12k to spend on a Rolex Daytona but am in love with its look. I love the idea of having a replica Swiss movement. There are loads of people getting ripped off. Where do I get one from ?

Hi all, I have a genuine Rolex 1007 which has a 1570 calibre movement. The dial is looking quite aged now so I want to swap it out with a newer one but I don't know which dials would fit this case and movement. Would an air king fit, does anyone know? Or anything else?

Hey there! I am new to this community and excited as I have started collecting watches recently. I have done a lot of research on using puretime03 and I want to order a Rolex Explorer from them but I had a few questions. First I apologize if I’m posting this in The wrong place or asking questions that I’ve already been answered. I went though the process of checking out and wanted to use WU Pay but I’m not sure how to do that. I also am considering getting a prepaid card and just using that. Is the quality that great? Is it pretty close to the real deal? Also, is it safe to order from them? Im in the USA and would like to avoid doing anything that could get me in trouble. Does anyone have any suggestions on better places to order from? Any tips or comments on my first buying experience would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you and I’m excited to be here! Just picked up a nice bulova the other day, I love it!

Hello! I'm looking for the Rolex Rex of an old Master. If you have any suggestions, please contact the PM. Nick

I am trying to finish this project a 1655 conversion to 1675, I have a Gen dial or so I was told, but I noticed the Dial is too small for the dial opening and is almost impossible to center it. So I need a replacement Dial I saw the Yuki ones, is there another source? Thanks Ivan

I'm thinking about rolex daytona recently. What is your opinion on A7750 with working chronos? I know it's 2,5mm thicker than a gen. My PAM is 14mm and it's already massive not to mention smaller rollie. To be honest new 13mm daytona made of 904 looks really amazing! I know it has frozen chronos due to 4130 but it's quite slim. What's your opinion on this one? I'd like to hear from someone with 7750 daytona Thanks!

Hey... I'm from Singapore. I'm looking to purchase a Rolex DeepSea. Any recommendation from a trusted seller please? Thank you in advance.

Hi all, I'm new here... My name is Lorenzo and I live in Italy... A friend of mine would like to sell a gen Rolex 1501 without movement (as far as I know it should be fitted with a 1570) I have a simple question for you : is there any chance I could fit any rep movement (or any gen ETA) in that case? The watch has everything but the movement (Case,Bracelet,Dial,Hands,Crown,Bezel...) Anybody could help? Many thanks!

After hours of evaluating the best choices for sub hands... Clarks/Watchman 'Tudor' hands = seconds hand has the wrong proportions (i.e. the dot behind the seconds hand's pinion is too close), hour hand has the wrong rectangular lume proportion? the hands are a bit shorter than gen 3135 sub hands (because it seems like Tudor hands were always shorter than Rolex counterpart hands), no 3D-looking polish, poor lume? Startime 'Tudor' hands = seems like it has same problem as the Clarks hands, except the seconds hand looked improvement proportionally (i.e. the dot behind the seconds hand's pinion is further away like gen) Raffles = hour hand's rectangular lume area has skinny proportion that isn't gen-like (and commonly associated to lower-end or cheap reps), poor lume TC V2/V3 = best ETA sub hands ever made (i.e. tapered front on the seconds hand, 3D-looking polish, correct dimensions with correct rectangular lume area/location, capped pinion on v3, pointy ends, excellent lume)... but TC is gone Overall = TC hands were hands-down the best sub hands ever made - period. But now that TC stuff is pretty much discontinued, the second best seems like to be Startime? Any idea what the best available ETA Submariner hands? Have I missed out on better alternatives? Can someone please recommend me the best ETA Submariner hands out there? i have spent a long time researching and it seems like the current market for ETA Sub hands have a combination of fatal flaws Thank you!

New here and to the game in general. Trying to do my research but it's a tangled web. Have a budget of $300-$600 and looking to get the best quality, most accurate rep in that range. Ideally a GMT Batman V7. Better to buy direct from the factory or from a dealer on here? Cane across a website xxx.com Any feedback on that one? Many thanks

Hey I'm new in this community, and looking for some assistance. I'm looking to buy a Rolex Submariner 116610LN replica. I've seen a few names in here, NOOB Factory, JF Factory and BP Factory, but since i don't have much experience with replica watches, i don't know what to go for. And beyond that, don't know where to buy it from. I'm looking for an "Original" looking Rolex, within' 400$ - 500$. (Please comment possibilities beyond this, if you know any) Btw, the luminescence is quite important to me, don't know why but i seem to really love that feature - (Not sure it i matters, since most watches i've seen seem to have a great lume.) - Thanks in advance! Best regards

I moved to Florida back in January and noticed that everybody wear some kind of Rolex model. I am thinking that the market here is better for the buyer or i could be wrong. Maybe Floridian like to pretend they have money like me with a fake Rolex. lol! many of the one I had seen look Gen watches, I could be wrong.

Fellow members I am looking to replace the bracelet on my 6263 Daytona with a Gen bracelet. If anyone has a 19mm 78350 Gen Bracelet for the 6263 Daytona please pm me. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

It's been some time since I posted a build thread here, but I just finished one in which some might have some interest. I have wanted to build a GMT-Master II 16710 for a long time but just never got to it. It's near impossible unless you have a spare 3186 movement laying around, or a Yuki built up to proper specs. I wasn't really aware of the 16700 until I came across the dial on eBay. I did some research and a good 16700 seemed like just the thing to build as I have come to love the vintage modern watches with sapphire crystals. I was in possession of a Noob 16570 Explorer 2 which I wasn't happy with and never wore so I decided it needed to morph into something else. I found a near perfect, 16700 Swiss-only dial and purchased it on a good offer and it was accepted. Then I was able to purchase a fat font w/serifs, bezel insert, so I was off to the races. I sent the case to JMB to drill the lugs (there are no 16700s without lugholes) to accomodate 2MM springbars and then ordered Yuki's 93153 bracelet. The 16700s really came with a 93150 bracelet and a sub-type clasp, but there are some without that, as well. I used a TC bezel which seems to duplicate the original very nicely. The GMT hand is not adjustable, per the gen. The bezel does not click, per the gen...see below. It is a gen ETA 2836-2 modified to GMT, of course. Someday I may address the incorrect hand stack, but, who's gonna notice. The only time it is obvious is twice a day for the few moments that the hour hand should pass under the GMT hand. Other than that...I don't care. If you're not familiar with the 16700; it is the forerunner of the 16710...made from 1988 to 1999. It differs from the 16710 in three ways, maybe four. The 16700 is visually different in that it says GMT-Master on the dial while the 16710 says GMT-Master II. The other differences are from the movement. The 16700 has no individually adjustable hands. The GMT hand is a 24-hour hand and it just follows the time-keeping. The 16710 has an individually-adjustable hour hand and that is what makes it, virtually, impossible to rep without the movement. Additionally, the 16710 has a bi-directional bezel that clicks both ways, while the 16700 is bi-directional but does not click. After my study, were I in the market for a gen, I would not turn down a good deal on a 16700. Actually, four ways...while the 16700 has quick-set date adjustment, the 16710 is adjusted by turning the individually-adjustable hour hand around two turns until the date changes. Experts, please correct any errors. Well, I have some pics...

Hi ladies and gents! Got these QC-pics. Think they look good, what do you think? /Akilles

Hi guys I'm a newbie here I have vast experience in genuine watches & replicas. although I've come across these two beauty's on Trusty Via Andrew. http://www.ttw-138.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_6&products_id=16050 and http://www.ttw-138.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_452&products_id=15989 the 2017 Green dial Daytona and the new 40mm day date. can anyone give me a hint or point me in the right direction as which watch is more likely to feel and also look the most genuine? its a lot to spend on a rep, approx $1,400.00 I've never splashed out over $600 on a rep before, this is new territory for me. all comments and help would be appreciated! thanks all.
