Wow, big if true,maybe Rolex are the ones that pressured the government and had the raids started , maybe easier to go forward without making them

If the stories from China are true, Rolex-Reps from Noob and XF/VSF sold as Gen from Chinese dealers where the only reason for this giant mess. So this rumor does make sense imo.

I used crypto. I definitely wouldn’t use the credit card as that’s just asking for all sorts of headaches.

I dunno, I have used my card for most purchases. Nothing bad yet, if it does, I’ll call my credit card company and say not mine. They remove it. I tried western union and PayPal. Credit card is just too easy to give up. No guts no glory. Lol

Ordered 126610LN from JTime... I'll post my approved QCs.

I just did the exact same. I have vsf 116610 LN and zzf 116610 LV, both from jtime. They have been great to work with. I had to get the VSF 126610 LN, particularly that it will not be available. You will enjoy it. It really have.

Maybe the reps really got to the point where even rep informed dealers could not tell anymore.There were always little obvious things that would distinguish a noob Vs Rolex .Now Rolex probably got flooded with VSF pieces . They don't want to have the same problem like panerai or Hublot has .Rolex wants to keep its exclusivety

If I look at my noob Breitling Avenger Skyland .You could tell them apart by the flagpole 1 and on the version that fixed the flagpole 1 the pushers got way to long .


Noob Rolex had pointy clasp bits and repeating serial numbers . Easy to tell appart laser engraved crowns on the crystal.

I am thinking it'll be a long time before another factory could match the level of movement and case quality that VSF achieved. I'm just getting giddy to think that reps can be collectible. VSF were literally operating on Rolex mode operandi

WU is also generally considered safe so you should be good in that respect. Typically the credit card payment method is not recommended as the credit card processors used by the TDs may not have the best controls when it comes to keeping that card info private. I think especially puretime has had issues with this in the past, but claim to have made adjustments to a safer/more reputable processor for what its worth.

Good luck!

You are able to order the VSF 126619LB? From which TD did you order?
