All the TD are trustworthy. If not they would not be a TD. Each has its own personality. The TD I use is focused on QC and making sure the watch runs well but is very very slow. I can wait as long as it takes for a better Rep, usually about 6 weeks till I have the watch. Others focus on speed. New members are impatient so they want their first watch fast. So for new members, I would say Puretime or Intime is a good choice. Go to the TD section and read the reviews. This will give you an idea of what to expect. I tried 4 different TD's before I found one that met my needs.

do you guys think that most TDs will put out for sale the new versions (with correct bracelet) soon or they'll wait to finish the stock of old ones?
I'm kinda new to reps and don't have a clue of how this usually works..

I am New but I prefer to wait and have a really good rep.
So I will go with your TD, if you can to tell me.

New Years pause is over... Just got my qcs. Waiting to see if the bezel is chipped above the pip and will accept. I’ve learned to live with off center dates on these reps.

The bracelet that is visible looks altered to me so hopefully they have upgraded it.

Looks like glue. My black version has the date perfectly centered.The crooked date would drive me insane.

Hello guys, I can´t wait to order the new V2, at the moment Im observing and comparing gen v.s replica, and I noticed something....the ones that own both rep and gen correct me please,
Just noticed that the dots of the gen are balloned and more 3d as I show in the picture, in the replica they look totally flat......

They are not flat. Here‘s my V2. Dots are „balloned“

They surely don't look flat. You have to remember that we are talking about replicas. If the dots are a problem for you then go gen. For me the VSF Omega is absolutely stunning. And I don't see any flaws that would stop me from buying it.

Guys
Does anyone see side by side gen and rep and can tell if there is any difference in 2xAR??
I had old seamaster rep and I have to get 2xAR crystal from profsteve because I can't look and blue hue and fog AR in rep :/
I don't know how this vsf seamaster 2018 looks like and if crystal is clear

You’re right. I don’t even have the watch yet and it’s making me nuts. I asked for some other dates ... perhaps it’s not properly set.

The datewheel is not centered. Other numbers will be misaligned as well. The dial also might be misaligned and this is why the date window is not aligned with the datewheel. I had this happen on at least 2 of my reps so far. The misaligned date makes me insane, especially because I KNOW for a fact that good ones can be found..
