Lol you’re so biased against OMF @shb
But then again yes even if the markers etc are aligned, OMF has gotten a lot of the details wrong.

Well, the main issue is, even if none of the factory can build a perfect ap rep, at least some take the time to put some effort into their releases, with omf we always have something rushed who looks like the gen... But from 2 meters distance only.

I’ve been waiting for Rep AP15500ST from JF

However, a few minutes ago, I just saw that someone from RWG posted a news saying that JF and ARF are seized.

Is it true? or just a trolling? fake news?

Even if it was true, it is likely a yearly affair. All rep factories get routinely raided and fined and it is a lucrative source of income for some of the officials.
Don't worry, they will always be back.

Been asked a friend who run a "repshop" in Guangzhou for confirm if it was real, will report his words here, but more confirmation are needed.

Sounds like someone fell behind on their payments

At least Noob knows how to do it right— they clone in-house movements, use 904L billets, and pay their guanxi on time.

lol you seem to understand the Chinese way. What you said may be closer to the truth than we all know haha.

Sorry about the off topic, but I’m curious to know what that means. Does this Chinese industry work like mafia? :D

I don't know if it's allowed, if it's not please delete my post.

Here's the OMF 15500 blue dial who was up for sale (now sold), it show us the watch under a normal light.


Please note, crystal is not stock omf.

There was this once I made a guide dog joke on another member. And then I got ignored.
I wanted to say something funny about your post but I guess it is better to stay friendly lol. :p

That's a omf fantasy model? Lol :p

No A, I mean that the dial tapisseries are completely wrong vs gen, the hands are off, the AP logo isn't correct, case proportions are wrong, and date font seems off also (though I cannot confirm this from the pic alone).

Avoid!

I was kidding :D

I know everything is off on this rep, but well, i'm starting to like that 15500 and might pull the trigger once one "correctly repped" will be available.
