Does anyone have experience with a baignoire rep and could share his thoughts?

Hont offers one from drf (pic 1), Steve (pic 2) has one from an unnamed factory (2) and watches from af on his website.

Could not find any post here on rwi about these so making a thread.

Looked for one of these for a while and came up empty handed so glad they're back. Would love your thoughts when you have it in hand.

My approved Qc pictures
looks really good, biggest tell would be the weight but hey, how is going to weight that watch anyway :)

dial texture also looks well made. often the cabochon/saphir is a tell too as it looks not as bluey in real life compared to gen. at least that was my case with a tank when I did a comparison with my gen.

nevertheless looking forward to see pictures when you receive the watch. its definitly something ill show my wife and would order for her as well.

Yeah weight shouldnt be too important as its a tiny tiny watch anyway.

sure, sounds good - could also be nice for future reference when comparing factories

Received watch just today. The 18k yellow gold looks really good. Build quality is also robust and feels premium when opening the bracelet and moving it around.



The dial has some texture just like gen and under sunlight, it has pretty glitter which i have tried capturing but its barely visible on camera.


The blue sapphire has the right shade of blue imo compared to gen but it has more black than blue in it i think.





Overall id say this is a very good rep and only thing it really lacks is weight ig.

currently only @steve_theonewatches has this watch from ukf (unnamed factory, I will just call it ukf) and they have it also in small size, 15/16/17.

This was for my mother and apparently this mini was smaller than she expected to maybe we'll C&R this and order the small one, lets see.

Prices are $448 + 30 shipping for mini and small (Ger)

Note that this factory doesn't accept returns or change according to steve, dont know why tho.

Any other questions or if you want to see specific pics just ask
