Just purchased my first replica from Andiot. I made the transfer a few minutes ago and now I´m waiting for his confirmation. I´ll update later but so far everything is fine. I bought me a VSF Seadweller, and also a VSF Sub Starbucks for my brother

Today I received the QC images of the 2 watches. I haven't found any flaws with the Seadweller, so I've given it the green light. However, I showed my brother the photos of his Submariner and he didn't like it, he says there is a detail on the box that he can't ignore, so I had to give the Sub a red light. Now I'm waiting to receive the photos of the new Sub. I will continue updating.

I also leave a photo of my Seadweller simply so that one of you can please confirm that the date mag is correct. Thanks a lot

So the VSF Starbucks watch by itself was good to GL but your brother didn't like a detail on the replica box and he RL both watch and box.

It wouldn't be a RL for me and you have to understand that the pic you have has been magnified by 10X or 20X. In the hand or on the wrist you wouldn't even notice it.

My VSF 124060 and look at the bottom right.

VSF 126610 bottom left.

Can't notice the .001mm space in hand.

Very nice watch indeed. I wouldn´t have RL the Sub either, but it´s my brother´s watch so he decides, and he´s picky with those kind of details.

Even so, I have to tell you that it is much less noticeable on your watch, at least in these photos that you have shown...

There is a chance that the next watch might have something else he might not like either. He can't keep RL watch after watch because at some point the TD will give you a refund and tell you to go somewhere else.

VSF and Clean Factory make the best Subs and they aren't perfect just like their gen counterparts but cost a fraction of the price. If your brother got the call from the Rolex AD do you think he would tell them he didn't want the watch for the same reason.

I know it, he knows it too and we have been talking about this issue. It is a defect of the watch that he is not willing to tolerate. I want him to be happy with the watch, because that's what my gift is for. So I hope that the second time there is no problem and everything goes well!

I´ll keep updating

It is a defect of the watch
A defect is something else.
This may be a minor flaw, which I can´t even recognise on these rather blurry pics, but nothing more.
Later I´ll have a closer look at my gen Sub and if has a flaw like this I will return it to the AD and he will then delete me from his list of trusted customers.
In this illegal business you´ll have to keep a sense of proportion in regard the quality of the products or your brother will never have fun with reps.

I’m trying to order a James Cameron Sea Dweller but I have no idea how those payment options listed work. Don’t they have an option to take a credit card?

Well, as I said previously talking with @asusundevils1971 , the watch belongs to my brother and he decides. I think this is a minor defect, but he says it would ruin his experience with the watch, so he has the final say. Anyway, let me tell you, there is nothing blurry about the pictures!! Elliot sent me some very high resolution photos

I think they do not accept credit cards or PayPal...I seem to remember that the options are Western Union, Revolut, Wise and the traditional bank transfer...good luck with your purchase! Lovely watch, that Cameron Deepsea

The OP keep saying it's his brother's decision to RL. But if the 2 watches were paid together by the OP, bringing in his brother as a reason/excuse makes not much logic. The brother don't need to be mentioned at all.
