Hi, I am totally new to this site and totally new to replica watches. I am in Malaysia.
bought this a week ago and am totally pleased with the quality and accuracy.

Not sure how it stands in the world of rep watches. Could use some.feedback on whether I made a good buy or is the watch totally off?

Thanks

Like I stated in the post above yours, the watch is not a 1:1 rep, most noticable on the case and hands visualy and the quality on the bracelet. At the end of the day, if the watch runs and you are happy with it, it's a good purschase.

Hi, the ones that get this watch from TT: how's the lume? And, if you know, how does it compare to gen?

I wouldn’t worry about the funky hands, you’ll have to get new ones anyway… when you replace that crappy movement.

To which movement and where to get proper hands?

Good question. It’s a new cheap movement from Hangzhou. It’s not a true clone and hand pinion size may not be gen spec. Hopefully the case will accommodate a higher quality true clone, after the HZ dies.

Can vr3130 fit?

Here is some photos. One in sort of bright ambient light and one in complete darkness.


Colour is great, whilst strong it is not very long lasting. Charged lume with black light and then taken with 1/15s shutter. (Also note that I've removed the terrible bracelet)

Maybe. The diameter is the same, don’t know about stem height.

The problem will be to find decent hands, as it’s supposed to have thin Mercedes hands like the old 5-digit subs but blue lume instead of green.

So I have decided to go with EWF. So many raids happening I just afraid to be missing out for a 36mm Explorer.
So I got it within 7 days, and to be honest I am happy with it overall. Replaced the bracelet straight away for a black suede leather. It looks and feels a lot better. The hand is unnoticeable unless you compare with a gen.
I notice this movement is a bit noisy, same as Miyota 9015. Does any owner feel the same?

Too much talking, now here is the photos.

It does indeed look amazing! May I ask, how does it look on the bracelet? I am a sucker for good SELs and I'd like to know if this model has decent SELs or just the typical uneven/flush ones that you see on many replicas.

Not a great bracelet and SEL was bad. That’s why I swap for a leather, and I do love it with leather band. Wear so much better.
