Hey folks ✌️

I don't think this seller is well known but FWIW, I thought it would make sense to share my experience. Following a promotional post on a certain subreddit with 4 digits in its title I went ahead and gave Aman a try.

Watch: VSF 114060 no date sub 40mm
Price: CNY 2350 / $330 with shipping to EU and insurance

18-Oct: First contact on whatsapp
25-Oct: I placed my order and deposited $30 in USDT.
29-Oct: QC pics received. Asked for some more including video. Got it the same day and gave my GL. Transferred the outstanding amount ($300) in USDT.
03-Nov: Received last mile DHL tracking number.
12-Nov: Received the watch.

Communication with the seller was ok. However, the watch's quality was not what I expected from VSF. The bezel has a lot of play, horizontally and vertically, meaning it moves down a bit when I press anywhere on the top half of the bezel, which is really irritating. Also, the dial print is not as clear as on my ARF gmt or CF sub. I don't have a VSF to compare but from what I've seen in other QC pics it looks better on most. I don't know if the older references (it's a 40mm sub) from VSF all look that way but I feel like I've received a bad watch that shouldn't have made it through the sellers' QC. Then again, for $330 maybe I shouldn't expect more than this. I will have to get that bezel fixed though so I will be ending up paying a bit more.

Cheers!

Maybe I’m just not experienced in Rolex reps, but I can’t see anything wrong with that. I would whip off the bezel and re-seat it though, because I can imagine that being annoying.

to be fair in the pic the watch looks much better than IRL 😅 - gonna have the bezel fixed and learn to live with the rest. If a "good" VSF sub would sit next to it we would definitely see a difference
