Hi there, I would like to buy a Rep Vanguard Titanium with the rose gold Rehaut. Would you recommend the GF or the ZF?

The ZF variant is newer than the GF and has a Miyota 9015 instead of an A2824. Puretime says that the ZF glass still has an AR coating.

Doesn't anyone have any clues for me? Well, probably neither will have both. I am now ordering a GF.

I’ve never owned this model before or seen one in real life. Would this sit on a wrist better than a Royal Oak Diver?

impossible to compare imho. Apple and pears really.

One is slightly smaller, octagonal and taller on the wrist. The other has a tonneau, lugless shape which helps hugging the wrist but has a larger surface for sure.

My biggest peeve with the FM and the reason I might sell it is the deployant. The head/face is beautiful tho

Can now only compare with the Cintrée Curvex.
I think the Vanguard will be something similar in size. The slightly curved shape sits very well on my arm.
I ordered the GF Vanguard Titanium and am waiting for QC pictures.

I’m wanting to get the vanguard yachting in blue dial. But I can only see the ZF or OXF with TDS, no GF anywhere. If anyone can share a link to that would be great. Also I’m not too sure about how diamond on reps are. Can they easily be called out? Air I want to say as close to the gen, is it better to go without diamonds ? Or is with diamonds fine aswell?

Ask your TD about ABF .

No, this is not a JF. Just a cheap version from Aliexpress. The link no longer exists. Only $ 77 on sale. Lume is very short. Work ahead of 1 minute / day. It also seems to be waterproof.

^^ and the Master Square for the lady I presume :D Vanguard looks amazing on your wrist. wear her well :yes:

Thanks. :)

And no. I wear the Master Square myself. I've had it a little longer. My lady only wears genuines.
She already has a Rado Diastar, Omega Constallation, Certina Mayfar...
But lately, unfortunately, almost exclusively their modern smartwatch with pedometer, etc.

^^ Love it. My wife has the Master Square from GF. But most of the time she wears her FitBit smartwatch. I hate that. hahahaha
Have a great day and enjoy your watches. Cheers :D

FYI a fella bought a gen Vanguard V45 paying a fortune.
just checked his piece and compared with my beloved (GF) V45 and all I can say is that the GF/ZF V45 is NWBIG, period.
Dial, case, crown, engravings, wind up, date fonts are as per gen, even the strap+delpoyant combo feels more comfy :p the rep is an incredibly solid build.
