Any experience with 1887 reps from "V6"?

[rwi01]

I recently ordered a 1887 spacex rep from Chazingtime. In correspondence it came forth that the watch is ordered from "V6". A factory, I presume.

Then I read in one of the noob guides that it's recommended to have the watch serviced and cleaned immediately after I've received it. However, where I live that will cost almost as much as the watch itself.

Does anyone have any experience with 1887 reps from this "V6" and whether an immediate clean up is necessary?

If it costs that much, wear it till it breaks before servicing

Yes I've had a V6F 1887 rep for a couple of years now. The 41mm CAR2111.

I bought mine wholesale with no warranty on the basis that if there was a problem with the movement I would rather have it serviced locally than send it back to China. It's been ticking away flawlessly for the last 2 years without being serviced, including the chrono (make sure you read the 7750 guide)

YMMV of course. If you would like to get it serviced more cheaply you have a few options in Europe.

The fit and finish on it is truly incredible for a rep (especially given the price I paid for it wholesale) and any slight 7750-related flaws like thickness and subdial spacing become a non-issue when you see how damn beautiful it is. Great choice, you'll love the watch.

Off the top of my head there's @ado213 here in England or theres Domi in Germany. Pretty sure there are more I can't think of right now
